Less frames and more creature variety is the right way to go, I agree. If you find inspiration you can always do a three or four framer occassionaly for select creatures. The new flexible system allows for that with ease (just copy the sprite sheet into the graphics folder and define it as sprite for the creature, that's it).
Keep the good stuff coming, gold box style is most welcome, it's really masterclass

Oh, and mayhaps remove the background color used (pink/green/whatever) before uplaoding, so that it's just the sprites on transparent background (otherwise we have to do this manually later on).
