Hi everyone!. So i have a problem. I recently try to make my first rom-hack and has been making sprites these pass few days using FEC and Piskel. The problem is, some of my sprites mouth and eyes are not aligning. It took so long for me to just fix one character sprite so that it can fit the face correctly. Does yall know a way to make this process faster and easier? Thanks in advance!
