        <title>Trapinch's Guide to Spriting - Be Less Terrible! </title>
        <link>http://pfsuggestionsboard.yuku.com/topic/3227/Trapinchs-Guide-to-Spriting-Be-Less-Terrible</link>
        <description>
        <![CDATA[ Hi, everyone. I'm Trapinch. Some of you may know me as a spriter. Some of you may hold me in high regards because of this. While nobody's throwing themselves at my feet (and I really don't know why not), I figured I've garnered both enough skill and attention to warrant a guide to spriting.

"But why?" you may be asking. "I'm already the pinnacle of spriting! I need absolutely no improvements to my style, nor do I ever wish to entertain the thought of improving!" Well, stupid, listen up.... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Oh yes, HGSS. But HGSS sprites are quite different from the other 4th gen sprites in many ways. Anyways, Trap is right, that black is the most common in HGSS and it's fairly easy to save it as a custom color. ]]></description>

Take my avatar for example -the darkest part of his outline is true black, 0/0/0 on an RGB scale. And not all sprites use black as the darkest color - A lot use brown,...<br /><a href="http://pfsuggestionsboard.yuku.com/reply/58838/Trapinchs-Guide-to-Spriting-Be-Less-Terrible#reply-58838">Read More</a> ]]></description>
