[Call For Help] Spriting

This seemed like the most appropriate place to put a thread like this. I wanted to ask anyone if they could help me with one, simple thing, or rather, one simple set of things.

I don't know how to edit on body sprites of uniforms, or to make on body sprites that connect to an item, such as a uniform accessory. So far all I've been able to do is resprite in hand icons for some stuff off the Baystation files I have from their GitHub. The reason I want to know how to do these things is twofold:

1) I want to be a special snowflake and apply for custom items to one of my characters, because they are my snowflakiest flake.

2) I wanna start spriting stuff on my own time, and eventually move from recolouring to actually making my own, original sprites!

If anyone would be willing to help, I would very much like that!

If anyone is interested, screencaps of the stuff I've redone off of Bay:

Uniform accessory, supposed to be a lifeguard band that goes around the upper thigh:

This is just a recolour of an armband that I did. It's pretty rough here as you can see there is no shading, but this was my first ever attempt at doing anything with sprites. I just added a cross because I couldn't figure out how to make it look like it had lettering on it that spelled Lifeguard.


Lifeguard swimsuit, to be worn as a swimsuit...as a lifeguard:

This was resprited from the the black swimsuit, to be red, and I actually paid some attention to shading and such, as well as adding the white cross to the chest. Can't tell if it looks lifeguardy or like it's a Swiss Army swimsuit.

Edit: I've figured out where the on-body sprites for everything are, made a copy, and edited accordingly. On-body sprites:

Funky redone badge that I redid for no reason:
[+]
Image
I was thinking about using this for one of my sec characters at some point, I just don't know how to relate it to an accessory that can actually be put on a uniform,
as well as making sure it actually looks kind of like it does here on the uniform. Might leave it as like a holobadge that can't be attached if I ever wanna make it a custom item.


Funkier badge, redo of a different sprite:
[+]
Image
Same as above, except now it's bigger, with a bigger sun, and it's fancier than all hell. Basically for a head of security imo. Unfortunately, I have horrible sprite etiquette and mashed the original sprite, so now I have to reconstruct it if I want to mess with it again.


Large webbing from bay, but only the in hand icon:

Fluff stuff for an engineer. Large webbing, not a vest, except black, with golden buckles. Just to be edgy and stand out a little more.
