dammit, I posted this on the last thread but it got slagged before anything could come of it, so

Ah, sorry for the delay. I didn't see your post until today.
Most Visual Novel sprites are made in layers, with the base being a naked, faceless body, and the hair (hair usually gets broken up into two pieces- the front and the back), underwear, clothes and faces being overlaid on top in the code. This let's you treat the base sprite as a sort of dress-up doll and add new outfits, hairstyles, and facial expressions with minimal redrawing, clipping, or overlap. It also makes it easier for other people to build on it later.
Ideally, to start, we'd need about four expressions for each girl, the suited-up costume, and a default day outfit. The rest, if anything else would be needed, could come later. It's also important that everything is strictly separated by layers.
Below I've linked an example that comes with a free PSD file so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.

Hey, I was going to post this last thread, but it got archived before I had the chance. For Waibi, who was asking about the specifics of what I'd need from a commission to make a set of VN sprites.
