First, you'll need to get the base sprite sheet for your character. Choose your character from the following list.

Design

Next, open your sheet in an image editor and start designing. Please make sure to keep the dimensions of the sheet and the placement of the sprites EXACTLY the same. This means individual sprites MUST fit into a 48 x 48 pixel square. Doing so allows you to easily test the sprites in-game and makes it more likely your costume will make it into the released game..

Testing Online

The Hawkthorne Costume Tester allow you to preview your costume without having to run it in the game. Once your sure it looks good, then you can submit it to the subreddit.

Submission

You can submit your costumes either to the /r/hawkthorne subreddit or open a pull request on this repository

Happy costuming!
