I made the improved version (v2.0) of princess Robyne a few months ago (check my deviantart website, I update it more often). The wizzard Kaleido was made later. I noticed today that the "walking up" animation has the feet in wrong alternance with respect to the arms, so I will fix her in a new version 2.1 (hair might be improved too). I am working in much new stuff. The next art pack will be awesome. ;)
@ArMM1998: Ok, I take away my accusations (I cannot prove anything and do not want to give you problems), and I agree with you that it is unlikely that Nintendo would say anything about this (they are very tolerant), at least for non-commercial games. But I still do not recommend, for other people, to use these trees in commercial games because they are too similar to the ones of Minish Cap. By the way, the quality of this art is really nice, so I do not understand why you do not like it. ^^
This guy seems very talented as a pixel artist but, am I the only one who thinks that the trees are too close to the ones of "Zelda Minish Cap"? This is especially noticeable with the trunk trees: although the shading is different, the borders and shapes seem exactly the same to me, which could mean that this is a derivative work of non-free art, and that would be illegal. You can search images with google and compare to see what I mean.
I would recommend to avoid using art that is too close to Nintendo's art (at least in commercial games), because it can be considered as a derivative work of their art, which is not legal and you may get a DMCA. I am mainly referring to the trees appearing in this tileset. I also find a bit suspicious that someone appears, releases a ton of "free" art of very high quality, where part of the art looks suspiciously too close to Nintendo's art, and then disappears. (And he does not even ask for credit! What kind of true artist does that? Does this mean that all his art could be illegal and he does not want credit just to avoid responsibilities if legal action is taken against him? Or is this just me being paranoid? I don't really know..., but better to avoid any risk.) No offense intended.
