A (3.3/4)
(1/1)
(.4/1) (I think a too stark of a contrast is made between the "red" portions of the robe and the "black" ones.)

A (3/4)

N (1/2)
(1/1)
(0/1) (It liberates the default Crystal Soul, but that doesn't mean it's as good as it.)

Garzahd by Alec
F (0/4)
(0/2) (Oh no! It's Garzahd, with invisible love-handles the size of a house, whose innards are made entirely of multicolor silly-string, with a propensity to eject his bizzare innards at regular intrevals, while turning into a flat, glowing, black rock of some sort with arms that for "some reason" turn grey and a head that is at the centrifuge of the explosion!)

Stareye's Comments
Burning Wall - 3.0 (I can do simple color edits too, I wouldn't use this graphic)
Deacon - 5.0 (changes from the original Avernum Rak are too minimal, boarderline color edit)
Elben-Ka - 1.0 (is he just tinted? Come on TM, you can put more work into him than this)
Obsidian Skeleton - 3.5 (seems like another color edit, may be useful)
Olindbar II - 5.5 (a bit too dark for my taste, cannot make out any features)
Sabertooth - 2.5 (too dark and not enough difference from Avernum Rak)
Troglo Archon - 3.0 (edits are way too minimal on this to be serious)
Unfortunate Person - 1.0 (I do not know where I'd use this anywhere, that and its just two graphics on top of each other, not a whole lot of work involved)
White Dervish - 2.0 (I can brighten too)
Fungoid Queen - 8.0 (adequate shading and a departure from just mere adjusting colors.)
Haurithi - 4.0 (looks a little too weird, simple color editing)
Alternate Archer - 2.0 (where's the editing aside from a shift in color)
Alternate Khazi - 8.0 (very nice blue lightning effect)
Alternate Brigand - 3.0 (average color edit)
Fire Demon Golem - 3.0 (average color edit)
Fire Khazi - 6.0 (nice, but not as nice as the blue lightning, the red just blends in too much)
Green Soldier - 3.0 (average color edit)
Crystal Soul - 2.0 (cartoony)
Garzahd - 1.5 (even more cartoony and is a 2x2 really necessary other than for the cartooniess?)
Order mage - 2.0 (cartoony)
Priest - 2.0 (cartoony)
Alexander Kyras - 2.0 (I hope this is not how you really look, your level of detail makes me wonder)
Wizard - 2.0 (cartoony)
Forest Kobold - 6.0 (ok edit, needs to be made in appropriate dimensions though)
Woman - 6.5 (average)
Teacher - 9.5 (superb edit, excellent shading, etc.)
Lich - 8.0 (okay, but some details seem a bit muddled)
Vahnatai Lich - 8.5 (looks nice)
Warlock - 8.0 (all right, but some of the details seem a bit odd)
