alternatively, press f1 while in the program


the help file outlines pretty much every basic function

Graphicsgale is a great program, and is worth the learning curve, which in my opinion is much smaller than other pixel art program alteratives

Plus it doesn't make much sense that she can become Zero Suit and still have a regular arm if it's cut off in the Power Suit.

Even if you made the cannon longer, it doesn't explain a lot of other things about how it works.

I guess if Chozodian technology can fit you into an armored sphere one third your original size, they can compress an arm or store it in a subspace pocket or something.

Anyway, to help you get more ideas on how to create those kind of sprites, why don't you look at what Koh did to give you further inspiration?
