Yes, you can use paint to create sprites, but those will come out pretty crappy. I can see from the layout that he used Photoshop to create that sprite, probably one of the best (and most expensive) program out there to create sprites, other programs are Jasc Paintshop Pro, and I think you can also use the Gimp (Free photoshop-like brother, just google it).

Yeah well, any basic photo/image editing program is usable for sprite creating, as long as you have the basic tools such as a pentool or something. However, Photoshop has filters and a really good brushing engine to create sprites, I don't know about photostudio.

Any program that can save images as .bmp files will do (8 Bit/256 Colors)

Cool, okay, I might start, but how do people get the pics to blend in like that, do they use a program that automatically does it? Because I tried and it takes too long, lol, I probably am not supposed to do it like that though...
