Re: newbie question: palettes, characters & maps (how to lay them out)

Hey,

I'd recommend GraphicsGale
(http://www.humanbalance.net/gale/us/index.html) to anyone who just
wants to do simple pixel art without paying for an expensive tool like
Photoshop. Unlike most free art programs I've come across, Gale is
tailored to the needs of pixel artists. It offers straight forward
control of the palette (as opposed to MS Paint) and it isn't meant for
working with digital art on a high level, like GIMP. Give it a try, I
hope it helps.

Steve
