I'm good at making sprites. I can make 'em for you but it may take me awhile, due to school and stuff. And my internet may be taken from me shortly. ^^; If you guys do want me to make something I guess I'll make some kind of order form or something... that is if anyone wants one made by me xD

I use templates but I could do one without them... maybe.

Anyways, I thought it would be nice if I shared some of my sprites to see what you think~

Out of curiosity, is there a particular method you use for making horns? I've been making sprites for some friends of mine as well, and customized horns give me particular trouble.

Well I'm using GIMP so I actually scratch them myself (I don't have a tablet thing so I have to use my mouse). I take the three colors and put them somewhere where I can pick out the color and then start filling what shape I want for the horns in the red color. Then just divide the colors out on the horns. I erase the uneven bits and tada.

I've made hero modes for the two sprites above as well, but I don't like the one I made for my fantroll xD

Well, I make my trolls' horns based on their symbol (notice how the actual trolls follow this pattern, too: Aradia's ram horns, Tavros's bull horns, Sollux's twin horns, etc.), but occasionally you can deviate from this. If you can't, simply stick to the symbol! To actually draw the horn, I draw them all in Paint, so I take the base color of the horns (the orangey shade of orange) and draw shapes and then fill them in. I then determine where the stripes are, place them on the head, and voila!
