I don't actually see anything especially wrong with those, so I don't know what causes that invisible elephant.

However, since you're apparently this "Knight" fellow, let me just ask that you remove the bright text colouring of your other add-on on the add-on server. It's commonly agreed upon that it's annoying.

Those are both bigger than the hexagons, are they not? (just measured by eye)
No animals were harmed in the making of this production

Yes, of course. But that does not contradict what I said.

*DING DING DING!!!!*

We have a winner folks. Also, They are not in the right perspective. The shading on the elephant is inconsistant, and all of their legs look whack. It's like they're pooping their 4th legs.

Not to mention that they're facing the wrong way.

Right click and check "properties". They are 72 x 72.

What? Right-click them to see how big they are? That doesn't work. :P

Well I know why I'm not making any art here. :wink:

What is the maximum size for unit sprites then? That information might help the original poster...

Those are 72 x 72 squares.
What's this annoying thing that appears at the bottom of every one of my posts?

Indeed. Each hexagon is well contained within the 72x72 square. The left and right edges are most certainly outside of the hexagons boundaries.
