What's the best sprite editor for TI 68k C/ASM?

The title pretty much explains everything. A pencil-like feature would be perfect (like in paint), so i don't have to click on every pixel individually, and instead just drag my mouse with the button pressed down. Greyscale and masking support would be nice too.

It has been a long time since I did 68k C and Assembly, but I thought that you could basically "include" a .bmp or .png or what-have-you. I know I can do that with the Z80 calcs and probably eZ80.

If so, I always opt for old-school MS Paint, or mtpaint on Linux.

Jonson26:
AFAIK, in GCC4TI you use arrays of chars, short ints or long ints (for 8, 16 and 32 pixel wide sprites). You can directly edit the sprites if you use binary notation for initialising the arrays. Most of the sprite editors I found on ticalc seem to offer output in hexadecimal, which is fine too. The problem is, that all of the ones I've tried seem to be unfinished in some way or another. As for importing BMP's, I've never seen any mention of it in any of the 68k programming documentation. I guess the search goes on (or I'll have to make my own)  :-\

have you tried to just import them to see what happens?

Jonson26:
Well, I don't really see how I would go about importing a BMP file in c. The #include statement is only for code, and in the new file menu in the IDE there's no way to add a BMP. There is the import binary function, but I'm not sure if it can be used for this purpose.
