Gnomes are practically everywhere.

They aren't necessarily in every RPG, but they do sometimes serve as a plot point. Some RPGs may also refer to them as midgets, or something similar.

The overall Gnome design changed drastically from the stereotypical short hairy man with a pointy hat, to a buff and surly little bruiser.

1. The original Gnome sprite, it basically stems from stereotypical Gnome images for the most part.

2. The first sprite from a sideview point. This Gnome features relatively the same details as its predecessor.

3. The new and final version of the Gnome. Now buff and surly, they come in two different forms, the form seen here, and a form twice the size of the current for when the heroes are shrunk down so they can visit a forest full of Gnomes.

Please ask permission and give credit before using these sprites.
If you do use these sprites without permission, at least point me out to the project that you used them in, I wish to see my creations in action.
