Derek Yu, one of the members of the soon-to-be award winning Thompsonsoft, has made a "10-step tutorial, that teaches you how to create a "sprite", which is a stand-alone two-dimensional character or object."

Covering everything from lines to anti-aliasing, watch Derek create "the Lucha Lawyer, the butt-kickin'est wrestling attorney around, as [his] model! He could be in a fighting game, or something, with moves like the 'Habeus Corpse Blaster.'" The amount of labor necessary is amazing, for only one frame!
