THIS POST IS MADE BY LEI ON THE TLE FORUMS BUT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SPRITING ON THIS TEMPLATE....
First. Read the guide to "becoming a censorship trooper" and receive your starter pack which includes the clothes. Then read the following....

Step one:
Grab that standard issue boring gray underwear. Remember knights, you're not here to look good, you're here to serve!
Step two:
Now, your armor is going to be heavy and sit on your shoulders for a long time... so for a small bit of comfort, put on your neck guards... notice that cashmere feel of 3000 years ago? this stuff isn't half as expensive but at least you can feel posh while patrolling.
Step three:
Now the fun part. Getting trousers that are obviously 2 sizes too small on... If yours fit perfectly then you will need wash them beforehand just to make sure that they are so tight that you guys are going to be singing an octave higher.
Step four:
The undershirt is next. Simple, arms up, shirt over head, arms down. If you can't do this. Retire now. After the shirt your extra padding goes on and straps up, notice how it matches your socks? Girls, please note that you get an extra layer of shock padding on the shoulders as your shoulder pads of your armor are lighter so blows are likely to land heavier.
Step five:
This, recruits should be simple... These shoes are slip-on, standard issue and as flashy as hell. If these babies don't turn a few heads on their own... you need to stop wearing them as gloves.
Step Six:
Easy bit now. Just Like any other skirt, undo the zip... over hips, do the zip back up. No, this doesn't mean you get to take the trousers off (do you really want to have to wash them again?). Notice the weight? No padding for these... Suck it up... You're a trooper now.
Step Seven:
Notice how the armor has little clips on the inside? Well use them, they clip straight into what you're wearing.
Step Eight:
Like Seven, just clip in place and feel the weight that means you wont be jumping about for the next 8 hours.
Step Nine:
Notice the following. These are standard issue skin-tight ultra flex gloves with full feal... Not to be confused with rubbers. These are purely synthetic and resistant to fire, water, wear, tear and even.... stains.... Remember please, that these gloves are for your hands...
Step Ten:
Now the hard part. The helmet goes on the head... but remember those gloves? they're damn annoying to wear while undoing and refastening the clips that hold this baby in place but once its on... you're ready to go.
Final Step: Step Eleven:
See that button on the side of your helmet? No? that's because this particular model (the "IaNOY_U_10ADS" model) had the button inside. It's on the left but dont worry, it's so small that you'll never hit it with your head. Found it? Good. Now notice how much grip your gloves have against your face?
If you now have your hand stuck in your helmet, everything is running smoothly. Get your partner to pull it out and you're both ready to roll.
Notice how the phrase "the future's bright.... the future's orange" comes to mind?
Okay okay. For the people that have gone out to sign up please take note. this is just a record of the steps I've taken to design the sprites for them. Please also take note... I AM NOT A PART OF THE TEAM as I'm not as talented as the rest of you but zoomzooom asked me to post any updates I have done here.
It is also requested that you take note that I am totally new to spriting anything this big so I'm doing it layer by layer and YES I DO KNOW that half the stuff I've drawn won't appear in the final product as the amour will cover it but it's fun just drawing every layer of clothing I imagine them to be wearing.
Any comments and criticism are welcomed. Thank you for reading this.
Every time I finish the next part, I'll add it here.
