I'm suddenly interested in editing sprites for "stuff". *coughavatarcough*
Where could I find the Sonic 1 sprites and how would I edit them?

This place has lots of sonic sprites, as for editing MSpaint works best for me.Chrome the hedgehog said:

You could go to the Spriter's Resource (http://www.spriters-resource.com/), and to edit them, you could use mspaint. I, myself, use Paint.Net (http://www.getpaint.net), but I vaguely remember a better editor someone used here; I think it was Morph and an RPG sprite editor, but I'm not sure on that.
Ok, I have all the sprites I need, but how would I put them in motion?

Microsoft GIF, frames for the animation have to be in .gif formatChrome the hedgehog said:

In Paint.Net, you could use a layer technique:
Make layers for however many frames you want to make;
Add sprites to layers accordingly;
When done, copypasta the image in the layer into a new image;
Save.
This will help keep your sprites in perfect position, and you also have other benefits to doing it that way. To animate it, you could save them all as gifs, and find a gif animator to animate them all. You could also use Flash, which can animate high quality image, and has the benefit of sound.

Ok, how do I get rid of the colour around the sprite? You can check my avatar to see what I mean.
I'm actually using GIF animator. But I would like to compare the difference between the two... *goes to download paint.NET*

No need to: GIF animator allows you to specify the transparent color. Go to the third tab and you'll see.Chrome the hedgehog said:
Disable dithering in GIF animator as well as choose to use custom palettes. Obviously you aren't using more than 256 colors so you shouldn't see any loss. Go and set the background color as transparent.
I have switched to Paint.NET because it gives me more options. :p
Can you tell me how to get rid of dithering in paint.NET?

Not bad for a first try?
