...I don't know about Nega-lime's Sprites. When I said "dark-skinned", I didn't mean, "make him resemble dark-skinned people in real life".
The sprites of PK and Nega-Lime also don't account for their most recent appearance. (In case you're wondering, Nega-Lime's default outfit's the same as PK's, while his hair resembles a combed-back smart look - he needs to look charismatic to help him with his charms). Then again, I'm not blaming whomever really did make those sprites. They were made before the official designs came to be.
(In case you're wonderimg, I have a hunch that those sprites were made by TED, not Shane. Still calling him that unless I happen to remember his real name.)
TED = Eric van der Skyff, brother of Lynn van der Skyff and Karina van der Skyff (though Karina wants to "force-feed Lynn into surrender", whatever that means).
The best way to solve this conundrum would be to simply… go through the personal messages at the Dragon Riders Planning Forums. This assumes, of course, that you and the spriter corresponded through personal messages regarding the sprites.
Into the Unknown was made by Eric, until Shane came and brought an end to that, which led to version 2 (
Destiny's Tears subtitle) being worked on by Shane and myself (as "Taylor Smith").
However. The Purple Karjam also appeared in
Hope of Shané: Frost. Shane never worked on that, at least to the knowledge of those of the DRP Forums. Nega-Lime never appeared there.
…
Damn the Internet seems lonely without Shane.
I take it Ariana is working on this thing to "honor Shane's memory" or something?
Also, you had noted that Blue K and Yoshiro lacked sprite forms.
If you were to program them into the game, which NPC's would they replace?

Ghhhack!!You ninja'd me!
Just use NpcGuest. Here, I even went and made an edit to NpcGuest with all the characters that are
non-harmful NPCs (so I removed Chinfish, those running green Plantation foes, and rocket, as well as unused NPCs).
Granted, they'd just act the same as other NPCs who use that AI. (ASM hacking would be needed, I believe, for new NPCs - so if PK could join whoever is the protagonist against the foes, then a new NPC would be required, I suppose.)
Basically, if they go in NpcGuest or something similar, they're going to appear in multiple sprite sheets if necessary. That's how I see it. (Of course, I don't see Valerie in NpcRegu that Ariana posted. Or some of the other characters like that mermaid.)
Also, Ariana? I see you replaced Kazuma and/or Sue at a computer with a character. They would be blinking unnaturally fast, however… just so you know.
