sprite editing Sprite Editing help

I can't seem to get the mouth part right on this, I am using FEditor adv but I just can't get the mouth piece to match with the face. Can anyone help?

The mouth and eyes move on an 8x8 pixel grid. You can drag and drop the parts in feditor, but only in those steps of eight pixels.

This is how it should line up. The cut-out part should consist of eight whole 8x8 tiles, two high and four wide.

This is how your mouth actually lines up. As you can see, it cuts across several tiles, rather than fitting perfectly inside them.

Solution: Move the mouth cut-out three pixels up and four pixels right...

...Like this.

And now, it works. (Though the mouth still needs polish.)

As a bonus, I also fixed the eye placement (same rules apply).

You also had a single black pixel on the forehead while the eyes and background were using the same colour. I changed the single pixel to outline colour and made pure black the background colour instead. Otherwise, the white of his eye would also be transparent.

Thank you so much! I had no idea about the 8x8 tiles I'm just barely getting into this sort of thing but much appreciated. :)
