Hmm.. 
What's the easiest way to make shadows?
I'm sitting here with a monster made up of 195 frames, drawing shadows by hand seams like a waste of time, then I think it's better to leave it the way it is.

Is there an easier way? Maybe there's a way to make blender generate shadows with a texture from an image with half of the pixels black like the dink shadows?

This has a simple way to make shadows, but you'd still need to do it for each frame...

Tag - Umm.. tag, you're it? 
I have a "sheet" I made that I use for shadows when I am making or changing a Dink sprite - you are welcome to have it - will email it when I get home To use it you just judge where you want the shadow (select the area/shape), copy the selected area and paste it in the right place on/under your new sprite... so easy and fast and dinkish and as it is the same as his other shadows, so fits right in.
