@ Link: I'll see what I can do with adding a divider, but I think I prefer it the way it is.
@ Gourd_Clae: Relax, the kitty is safe. They're just trying to hide from all the guards.
@ Everyone Else: Thanks, and consider that strange lighting ditched!

@AquaXranoX: I agree with Lockez; those portraits look a little strange with the eyes spaced like that.

Trying my hand at Mack tiles. Thoughts?

I'm not as concerned with the unfinished character as I am with the typos. Freeze, proceed, and I think devilous is spelled wrong as well. And there should be a semicolon after land and a comma or a period after looks.
Sorry if I'm coming across harshly. I just think this project has a lot of potential and I don't want to see minor errors like this weigh it down.

It's so... predictable.
Any suggestions on how to liven it up?

I'm not sure what he'd suggest, but I'd recommend maybe using a different sprite for the innkeep for starters. I'd also suggest changing their dialog to something besides the default RTP message. Something as simple as giving the inn a name would help with that.
Example: "Welcome to the Prancing Pony! Our rooms are 30G a night. Sorry for the raised prices, we're nearly full with all the people in town for the festival."

You might have already noticed this, but you're missing the cliff edge in the upper left corner. Nice mapping though!

Let's Build a Planet! Atargatis!

Italaxan
These fearsome sea creatures have been the bane of countless explorers and fishermen over the years. Now nearly mythical, the Italaxan was hunted close to extinction for its bones, which possess an odd luminous quality.
The average Italaxan is as long as a blue whale, but much faster and far more aggressive. Their gaping maw contains teeth as long as an adult male's arm, which are capable of shredding wooden ships like paper. Younger Italaxan are dark blue; they gradually become black as night during adolescence. They are nearly blind, but sense their prey by tracking vibrations in the water.
The Italaxan is carnivorous, choosing to feed mostly on Kilikan fish and other sea creatures. They enjoy snacking on Raxaltus (Raxalti?), but are wary of large packs. However, they aren't above snatching up unwary Atargatians when the chance arrives. They hunt by lying motionless in deeper areas of the ocean, their mouth open wide to masquerade as a cave. When their prey comes in for a closer look, the Italaxan slams its jaws shut and feasts. They have also been known to attack ships, tearing into them from underneath. Scientists have no explanation for why the Italaxan shifts from its normal hunting methods to do this, but some speculate that it may be to drive away what the Italaxan perceive as larger predators.
For centuries, the Italaxan were revered as gods by some superstitious Atargatians, who made weekly sacrifices of young maidens and Korthar to the massive beasts.
Italaxan is both the plural and singular form, by the way.

@Kevinds: I really, really like those sprites you're using.
@FarOz: Damn. *Whistles* Those ruins are sweet.
Here's my offering. This is my first "serious"/large undertaking in 2K3.
Haunted castle.

Sorry for the large image, but my hide tags are rebelling.
