I also think that the dwarf really needs to have a red or, at least, pinky-looking nose. They're hard drinkers, and their complexions should reflect that. That's another thing #8 has going for it.
Although I agree with this, #9 is pure sexy.

Yeah, I'm thinking we're going with #9. Great work, guys!

I started idling #9, and I realized that his face is a different skin color from his hands. :D <<EDIT>>: k done I cropped off a little of his hat in the third frame b/c I couldn't resize the canvas w/o risking the program crashing on me, so if someone could fix that, much obliged.

I say use the hand colors on the face. They look much more fleshy.

I still think the dwarf should have a thicker beard if he's going to be pulling things out of it

Yeah, we might have to drop the "pull-stuff-out-of-beard" concept; if we want the dwarf to be short, his beard will have to shrink accordingly, else he'll be nothing BUT beard.
I don't think we should drop the unique concept just because the new sprite has a smaller beard. Besides dwarfs are supposed to have huge beards, do a google image search for "dwarf" and you will not find one dwarf with a beard that isn't at least half the size of his body

Yeah, the hands are really cool, but the upper body looks strange... it moves up and down perfectly, with only the legs actually moving.

If you flip through the pages of this thread and watch how the dwarf sprite has progressed, it's nothing short of awesome But, I'm not too sure about the "pulling stuff out of his beard" thing. For one, there's nothing in DF which motivates that concept. And, it would probably be very hard to get the idea across visually in just one or two frames. So, I say the beard is big enough (it's basically half his body's length). +1 on the beard needing to move in the idle animation. Looks delicious.

Also, it strikes me as odd that the reflections on the helm don't move with the helm.

What, really? Reflections change as the reflecting object moves.

Actually I sort of like the idea of a single-jumping character. But it could be an awesome-powerful jump that makes up for the distance not had by a double-jump. I mean, come on, their legs may be short but they're packed, just packed with those huge dwarven muscles. Also, maybe springs or another dwarven contraption could pop out. I do think a recovery move would be nice though. Maybe if he uses the pickaxe in midair he twirls it around for a little helicopter effect to gain some height?
Also, totally randomize the rocks that pop out by vS. Denser ore won't fly as far but will do heavy damage.
yeah, the "yoshi effect".. one jump that's really powerful. i think he should have a move to get back to the stage where he lunges for the edge with his pickaxe and climbs back on. i guess this could be an aerial attack where he hits someone with his pickaxe.. i don't know. just throwing out ideas. i didn't read the whole thread, so somebody else might have said this already.

No I think the dwarf should have a double jump... I do however think the Sexy Hiker should only have one

There. Alas, TIGgers, I must bid thee adieu; college crunch time is going to really cut into my schedule, and I've been KIND OF slacking off as it is, so I leave the Dwarf in your capable hands. Good luck on the project, guys.

Procedurally generated ASCII stage, right?

:D Because procedurally generated stages work best in fighting/semi-platforming games, right?
