Friendship is magic 
I was trying to create a ghost version of a man today and I turned up with 8 slightly different versions. I just can't decide which one looks best so I want to know what you think about them.

Which one do you prefer?
Should it have a shadow?
Should it be transparent?

Any suggestions are appreciated

I think the seventh one looks best the shadows look a bit weird.

Bottom row, 3rd from the left. No shadow. Should be transparent. That is my oppinion.

If I remember correctly, in mythology ghosts do not have shadow... Any version without shadow is best.

First sprite bottom left. The third sprite on the bottom is okay, too, and the first sprite on the top row.

3 X X X
1 X 2 X

I remember I made some ghost sprites by converting them to greyscale, brightening the sprite a bit, and pasting a black/white "net" made with paint on it. I don't remember if I inverted the colours, but it looked good. I don't like how most of these sprites have an outline around them.

Hmm...
2nd from top left looks more demon-like than ghost-like.
Top right is good, looks like it's glowing.
Probably one of these is the best IMO:

Really I like them better transparant, and without any shadow. So really three of the bottom ones are fine for me, but I like the third one on the bottom best.
