These look great!

@caeles0 Did you create these layers, or was it actually Johannes Sjolund? I'd like to add proper attribution to the AUTHORS file.

The layers as an arrangement of frames are neither by me nor by Wulax. (edit: thrust and shoot are by him, but that was not why I mentioned his name in the commit) They are simple recolourings of existing layers. I used the "light" skin versions and (IIRC) the blue eyes as a basis. In case of the male body, I also reduced the number of colours to the intended 10 (the layer has 82 colours, assumedly by careless edits).

The colours to which I changed are ripped from "Johannes_Sjolund__Character animations, clothes, armor, weapons, skeleton enemy, combat dummy/examples/dark_skinned_knight.gif". (Yes, I took the gif; as mentioned elsewhere I cannot open xcfs of gimp > 2.6) I liked that one better than the dark layers which already were in the universal sheet. Hence the edit.

About previous edits:

For the hair I used "base_assets/hairfemale.png", because that one has 6 colours per frame, while the existing layers had only 5 colours (the highlight had got merged with the brightest other colour). I copied these frames all over the new layers, taking the existing layers as a reference for the correct positions. Then I subtracted pixels which were transparent in the existing layers (because some arm obscures the hair). The result is the dark-blonde layer. For the other layers I recoloured the dark-blonde layer using colours from "Luke_Mehl__Female\ Mage\ Clothing\ Set/hair/", and later from the hair layers by Joe White. For ponytail2, I did not use "base_assets/hairfemale.png", because it's not there and the existing layers already have 6 colours.

In summary, I consider my contributions of editorial/technical nature.

I see that you try to state exactly one author per layer. I doubt that will remain feasible. Concerning the layers which I touched, the following would already be more accurate:

That makes my eyes bleed a little. I wonder if there's a more elegant solution.

Let me know when you find one. I don't like it very much either, but it's what I use myself for lack of anything better.
