The topic for admins or whoever else to go requesting sprites of various things! Feel free to contribute!
Remember, most sprites are 32x32, and they do support transparency - they're best in 32 bit .png format.
I currently need sprites for weird alien plants for the botanists to grow. Remember, plants have four sprites each - dead, sprouted, grown, and ready to harvest. If you want to make it even easier for me to work with them (since I don't have access to good spriting software right now) put them in the plantpot.
In addition does anyone know a good image host? I've been trying to put the plant pot sprite in here as a template but I tried imageshack, tinypic and imgur and none of them work. >=I

I've found photobucket to be an excellent image host.
As for spriting software, I've found byond's image editor to be the best pixel-by-pixel editor around. Great accuracy, though it is limited to small images.

Here's the pot, for anyone that wants to use it:
and here's my first contribution:
Sprout:
Growing:
Flowering:
Dead:
It's meant to be a rock plant, for those times when you haven't just been hit by a few meteors.
I'll try to make a few more that aren't as half ass later. Do you have a description of what you want these alien plants to look like?

Anything goes, basically. Just make it strange!

There's a new pot sprite.
Also, for each plant there's actually 5 sprites. Sprout, growing, ready, dead, and a produce sprite.
Here's corn for reference.

So how about this?
Strange tentacle plant I just made.
Also, for a good image host, there's also Minus.

Strange, I use those all the time.

And google docs can do it to. (I think.)

I still need some time to make more decent looking sprites, but heres something:
(Also no harvest sprite yet, may just scrap the whole damn plant to be honest.)
Random shit:
More to come when I manage to think off something decent.

I have a sprite request for a pegleg, because piracy in space is worth it!
