Hi everyone. Sorry for my slow posts. Summer has been kicking my ass with long work hours and dealing with the heat. Even on off days I don't feel productive. I'll try to post something when I can, but please stay safe out there and make sure to drink plenty of water!!!!
![The rim lighting effect in Paper Mario is created in an extremely simple manner.
[the sprites are taken, copied, recolored black, then the black version is offset, made transparent, and trimmed to the original sprite]
Note how this coincidentally results in a realistic shadow of the cap on Mario's face because the shadow is just the brim recolored black
