Definitely the green one, second row from bottom, third from left. Could you edit its left eye so both eyes are looking at the same direction (just move the black pupil one pixel to the left)?

I like second row from bottom, last one on right. It has a cute smile.

It's hard to fit a green body and purple head into 16x16 pixels without getting rid of other things like cute eyes or a cute smile. I hope our fearless leader wouldn't mind if the firefly ended up being one color.

That one looks like it's suffering from mental illness.

It's just the eyes, those can easily be changed

Well I wouldn't have selected the round one in the first place, it looks like a balloon, but the others seem to like it, and I would pick Grimson's choice of facial expression

I'm fond of the thin one myself.

This is going nowhere.

So let me ask first:

1. Do you feel there is enouph variations there in the spritesheet, or should I try to invent more variantions - or there is at least one variations from all those that each one of you likes?

2. Let's make a vote - how much are for the fat variation and how much prefer more slim?

I vote the chubby one I mentioned before.

Btw, will this creature has some sort of glow effect around it, will it just hover around Keen or what? It should be somehow emphasized that it is, in fact, a firefly.

Thin, I like my bugs buggy.

I think there's enough variation, but remember, this will be the character onscreen for the most time. (And how are the map sprites doing?)

I vote for fat, it's cuter.
@Doomjedi: you have many variations, I think they're enough.
@Grimson: the firefly will have another glowing aura sprite that follows behind it.
