@redshrike: the turnip armor is actually unfinished. The two frames that are provided are polished and good-looking by themselves. I personally loved the base it was built on and wished there more accessories for it. But the turnip armor is only two frames, running and standing. In one direction. Two frames that don't even transition together in an animation. The turnip armor is an unfinished asset that could reasonably be used in a professional game that required a vegetable that can only face south. Beyond those specific circumstances, it is not a production-ready asset.
I'd hate to see anyone's work get rejected on a site dedicated to providing freely-licensed art. Especially while turnip armor exists here.
Maybe it's time to establish a set of production-ready standards, and to create a showcase only for production-ready assets. Along with a set of required tags ("rigged", "animated", "4 directions", "top-down", etc...) for that showcase. It would certainly save developers some time when they come here to search if there was a set of assets that were clearly marked "ready to go".
To be fair to MrMadBr, that piece you cited is at least animated, as are several others that he has posted, so he's not flooding the site with useless crap he banged out with no effort put forth.
But you're right, he is flooding the site, and should be posting his assets in one post. He's also not the first person to do this. The site has had the feel of a storage closet for some time, and needs an overhaul to give developers more avenues for feedback and approval of what shows up in the main showcase.
Kind of late to the party, but my LPC fantasy would be to get a right-handed attack template. Right now, all the attack bases switch between left and right handed depending on the side they are facing. It's a small thing, but it does appear strange at times.
Other than that, I think the most important missing elements are enemy base templates (with animations), overland map tiles, and portraits.
Nice!

nice. is there a concrete ui part 1 somewhere?
maybe there's an issue with the DB, but fontsmall1.gif and fontsmall2.gif aren't showing up when you click the links.
thanks for the upload. these look good.
The female orc sheet is missing. I'm just seeing the dark female sheet when I click the file link.
