@tannenbernie It does not have to be transparent, though a non transparent square is unlikely to look good unless it is something abstract.
For non abstract units, I think that the best alternative to a transparent background is a circular background, which anyway requires transparency given that image files are rectangular (or square).
For example, you could have an 80 pixels per axis background like this one,
over which you could draw the units you want (like these ones).
If you don't want to learn how to handle transparency just yet, you can use this image, being careful to keep your drawing within the monotone gray zone,
as it will be very easy to then turn the black outside the circle to transparency.
However, having a transparent background is preferable because it is neutral and is much easier to add a background than to remove it so giving you the option to decide about the background thereafter with ease, comprising opting for keeping it purely transparent.

@tannenbernie I thought the pose of Reiksguard looks a bit odd and his sword is the length of his entire body. But don't worry about art details too much.
