NES Sprite Change Tutorial

The art of NES sprite change is to use at least 8 colors only, no shades at all. But what i do is use the colors of Mario or other NES sprites. For example i will be NES sprite changing Geno because i can't seem to find any NES Geno sprites. Also sprites shouldn't have a black out line but they can if you want, but it has to be 8 colors. An example of a NES sprite change is this sheet of mallow:

Alright lets start:
step 1 find sprites

step 2 get the colors
(NOTE: You can use the colors off a NES sprite if you want to use a different sprite, for example Koopa. The colors of the shell is from the shell from the NES Koopa Troopa. Also get the colors off of other NES games. Sprite links: http://sdb.drshnaps.com/ and http://www.spriters-resource.com/nes/
i'm going to use the colors of mario and the mallow sprites.

step 3 recolor
use different colors for the seperation of legs or something else. Because if you use the same color for something next to each other it won't look good.

step 4 you should be done
before and after


Megaman sprites should have a black out line, Mario sprites shouldn't but they can. Everything else you have black out line or No out line. If you need any help post your sprite below and i will NES sprite change it.

thanks for using mine as an example! lol :3
