I had WinMUGEN on an old machine with Windows XP, and the copy of Paint it had let me make my own palettes for the sprites, and with that I got hooked on saving the sprites as bitmaps. For instance, I made a flying Pikachu, and that had black outlines. Now I use Windows 7, and the color sets on the bitmaps made in its Paint always are restricted to a common palette. There, the transparency is black, so I use maroon outlines. It's sort of my sprite art style now.
