Simon Belmont - Castlevania

This, dear friends, is why there needs to be a flesh-colored PixelBlock. You just have to wing it and go with what works, which is usually determined by the other colors in the sprite. Here we went with a bronze color (maybe Simon's been tanning before tackling the castle?) because it seemed to fit better than the other colors. Simon also calls for a shade of brown that doesn't come in the 200 piece starter - we had to special order it.

His feet are another curiosity that we'll address on the next page, as it’s a common problem with many sprites.
