I HIGHLY recommend using Pyxel edit for this. The dimensions for XP sprites are simply this: 32 pixels by 48.įor XP size and style sprites your grid needs to be 32x48 pixels. There's not many good tutorials for beginners or absolute beginners so here it is. The hardest part about creating or editing default sprites (so many people only want to change hair colour) for so many people (and I'm surprised so many still use it and ask me questions time to time) seems to be that people can't figure out the dimensions and lining it up properly and it becomes so difficult that there's an odd overlapping or other issues. This will work in RPG Maker 2003, XP, VX, VX Ace, Ace Lite and MV. Instead I suggest downloading the free version of Pyxel Edit and trying this out.
The current tutorials are still for MSPaint and Photoshop and though they do the job, they don't always do it well. This is a quick tip on an easier way to create original or edit your default sprites.
