2 Vs 4...

Using 4 frames is much more verbose and averages out any error. You can also do 2 drawings, simply the horizontal and vertical but use 3 tones per channel (dark, light, midtone). The downside is you'll need to manage the transitions carefully or it might be easy to end up with pillow shading. I think it's easier for a lot of people to break it down into 2 seperate lights per channel mentally -- addition is more how light is supposed to work. If you're an experienced painter you can simply do the X/Y axis. I think using only 2 channels in a opposite diagonal way means the artist needs to manage his midtone very carefully and the program's heuristic might screw up.
Anyway, this is a bit of a chicken egg problem also. I did try the handpainting normal sprites once, but the issue was there were no easy 2.5D engines available I could test it with. And I'm too stupid to program something myself.

Nowadays one could just take some more photos and generate a 3D model instead.
Yeah,

I remember downloading the shareware version from AOL over a 14.4 modem (or was it a 9600 ?). It took hours. Didn't do anything but play Doom for weeks after.

nothing serious just wondered if you wanted to trade some metro cards (serious business you understand).

Thanks Mr. S. I do appreciate it.
Thankfully Mr. Night, Mr. Shade, Mr. Hand, and Mr. Glove are all still here:

I went with a very broad sense of ancient Egypt, places beyond worlds, and general weirdness. Mr. L.'s story "Nyarlathotep" is nightmarishly suggestive, and I'd like to see more tries at it.
