Okay, so in between work periods on the Clockwork Project, I've decided to work on my spriting ability, namely with the Mario Brothers (3) style. I decided to start with making a modern style apartment building for them to live in, because this lets me sprite all kinds of stuff. (Toiletries, couches, bedroom furniture, kitchen appliances, etc.) The picture below is the end result of my work with the bathroom of said apartment. Below it is a zip file containing the background and all of the items featured inside.

This one was easy, and I only had to piece it together (no real spriting involved here, other than the overhang, and its just box) once, and then it was just recoloring. That aside, it's very useful when you want to express the time of day, and it serves its purpose effectively. I included a couple of lawn decoration pieces, but you'll have to re-shade them for different times of day/weather conditions.
