Guys, I've decided to become a great pixel artist, but I can't do it alone. My awesomeness is only exceeded by my ability to fudge myself over. Quickly, fill my brain spot with everything relevant and together we will rule the worls!

Spriting Tutorial I found... Lots o' images (http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/22121/t683606-spriting-tutorial-updated-beware-56k-users-lots-of-images)
May 6, 2007 ... I learnt to sprite from ShowKaizer's tutorials and CCOA's tutorials; other than that, just plain old practise. Don't expect to be like ShowKaizer or ccoa...
Hair
http://shaffyness.ymvdesigns.com/hair.html
Very straightfoward hair tutorial.
http://ppkh.davidsonlinegallery.com/pixels/tut-hair.php
An excellent tutorial on drawing hair. Definately handy for those of you who are spriting on larger templates like the Kaizer Sprites.
Folds
http://www.himenosakura.com/images/t...tutorial02.gif
A tutorial for folds. However this deals with folds in dresses and may not apply to many sprites but it is still handy.
Other/General
Usually tutorials in here cover more than one topic and I can't place it in one category by itself.
http://www.pixelforest.cn/tutorial/tutorial.htm
This site is in Japanese but the tutorials are clear enough so you don't need to be able to read the language to benefit from it.
http://ssn.sonicstadium.org/index.ph...ls&id=Beginner
Geared towards Sonic Sprites in particular but the techniques explained in these tutorials can apply to any sprite.
Tileset Tutorials
Geared towards making tilesets, Object tutorials.

Logs tutorial. Very helpful for shading wood and cyllinders.
http://pixel-zone.rpgdx.net/shtml/tutmini-wood.shtml

The links I found were grabbed from a post Lene made in HBGames. ^_^
At least I know I'm not the only one sneaking in here while at work.
