Magi's Tileswaps

I've finished most of the 8-Bit Tileswap.

A few tiles are missing, but it's usable. I'll finish the rest of the tiles soon.

I know it's a work in progress, so I'll refrain from commenting too much.

Aside from the images I provided, what was your method of acquiring the sprites? Were you disassembling screenshots from emulators, or did you use a tile-ripping program? Either way I think you need a little more variety. Many tiles are recolors, and some only have 2 colors and come out flat. Most NES tiles have three colors (excluding transparency). It also seems odd that you used a humanoid tile for the gargoyle.

I have little/no experience using a tile-ripping program, and it would take too long for me to obtain the sprites otherwise. I normally use The Spriter's Resource for most sprites that I don't have already from my years of collecting sprites for my games.

I know that a good portion of the tiles are either recolors or have less than 3 colors. It's a WIP and I'm planning on fixing those by the time it's finished.

As for the gargoyle.. I have no clue. It seemed to fit reasonably well, and certain interpretations of the Gargoyle have it as a stone man with wings.
