What would be the best program to make some nice graphics for the MSX1 ?
May be running on the msx itself or on a pc, doesn't really matter. It might even be a converter program from a pc bitmap to a MSX1 screen like bitmap.

Magellan is a good editor on PC, excellent at exporting graphic data in ASM or C

From version 3 (look for it on atariage) it is able to edit sprites as well
Look at this thread

I'm writing a PC based graphic editor (in Visual Basic) aimed specifically at MSX.

It works for screens 2,4,5,6,7,8 and features :

Palette editor (done 80%)
Tile editor 8x8 and 16x16 (done 75%)
Multiple tilesets management (done 76%)
Map editor (done 65%)
Sprite editor 8x8 and 16x16, mode 1 and 2, and OR sprite editor (done 3%)

I hope to release the Beta version before summer.
