I re-drew (traced really) the windmill blades at 2x resolution and added intermediate frames (so 8 instead of 4). I also recolored the water wheels into the LPC palette (I might make larger versions of them at some point too). My edits are CC0, just credit Ivan if you use.
Also, would you be willing to license this set under the OGA-BY 3.0+ license (in addition to CC-BY)? https://opengameart.org/content/oga-by-30-faq . I would like to incorporate this into another set of assets that will be OGA-BY.
Yes, when you are ready to share, click the "Submit Art" button and upload your new image; for each image you used, you need to provide credit (list the URL, name of the artist, what license(s) the art was provided under---you can find this on the left-hand side of the submission page, and the title of the artwork). You can provide credit as a .txt file (this is what I usually do), or you can provide this information in the "Copyright/Attribution Notice" section. You can see some examples on my profile of how I credit different works that went into my submissions. See https://opengameart.org/content/faq#q-how-to-credit for more details about crediting, and feel free to ask here if you have more specific questions.
As for your pixel art, you're off to a nice start---I like the latticework!
I'd suggest you check out the LPC style guide if you haven't already---there are some good tips in there on perspective and light source that will be helpful to you: https://lpc.opengameart.org/static/LPC-Style-Guide/build/styleguide.html . There are also some general purpose pixel art tutorials linked at the bottom there that you might review.
The two things that stand out stylistically to me: 1) the roof and the stone quoins from Roots' submission have much thicker outlines and more noise than the other tiles. I would suggest reducing the width of the black outlines until they are closer to 1px. Also get rid of some of the "noise"---try to make the blocks of the quoins each a solid color, then add more detail bit-by-bit. 2) the light source, which should be above, in front, and slightly to the left, is not consistent. The right side of the gable roof should be slightly darker. I also would expect the front-facing roof to be somewhat lighter, or at least not much darker than the left-side of the gable.
Additionally, I notice if you zoom in, that the timber-framing of the front of the house is blurry. This is usually caused by scaling or rotating pixel art using a tool like GIMP, which will use bilinear filtering or similar method to interpolate images. For pixel art, you don't want this---if you must scale, always use "nearest neighbor" interpolation or similar, then manually clean up the results.
For any clothing which is derived from the body sprites (e.g. the shirts, cardigan, etc.), the credits also need to mention the authors of the body (e.g. Redshrike, Durrani, BenCreating) and link to the original submission(s). Same goes for the heads.
3. You can find the license for any art on this website by looking at the left-hand side of the submission page; for example the license for https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-hand-tools is "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported" (or "CC BY-SA 3.0", for short). If you click on the license name, you can find a description of what the license allows/requires. You can also find that information here https://opengameart.org/content/faq#q-proprietary . If there are multiple licenses listed for a given asset, you can pick any of the licenses listed to follow.
Check out the rest of the FAQ here https://opengameart.org/content/faq , it will answer many of your questions. If you still have specific licensing questions about one of my assets, please post a comment on the submission page for that asset. If you have general questions about licenses, what they mean, what you need to do to follow them, etc., please make a post in the forums here https://opengameart.org/forums/general-discussion .
Yes, we are working on all of those aspects, although obviously the current download does not have them. The plan is that the next release will. Several of us have been working hard on making improvements to this set behind the scenes for some time. I will post a more detailed update soon showing that progress, but in brief:
- Headless bodies + Modular heads (done)
- All bodies except child share the same head positions as "male" body (done)
- Female, teen, and pregnant bodies updated to share hand positions with male and muscular bodies (done, we are in the process of updating and testing existing clothing assets with these updated bodies (this is a substantial effort and will take some time)
- Guidelines for the bodies (in progress, mostly done for the male body but still being tested and refined)
- Developing a run animation for all bodies (in progress)
- Adapting the sit and idle animations for all bodies (in progress)
The overarching goal is to preserve compatibility with as many existing assets as possible while making it easy for new assets to be developed. This is slow and tedious work though and will take some time yet to be finished. Anyone interested in contributing substantively to the art, feel free to send me a PM.
Looks great overall, by the way! Nice work, these would be great to have in the collection! Let me know if you need/want help placing them on the spritesheets.
Hi, could you bump this asset? I added an animated cannon (thanks castelonia!): https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-siege-weapons
11:56 UTC for me!

This also applies to the clothing in this submission https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-revised-character-basics , which currently does not attribute the other authors.
Thanks!
Yes! See: https://opengameart.org/content/faq#q-how-to-credit . Let me know if you have further questions.
Hi MendongGkewadCarlos -

Headbands and antlers look nice!
And yes, that is what I had in mind! Just let me know if I can be of any help.
