Anyway I have some ideas for bloopers, but have trouble isolating the characters in GIMP. Any help through tutorials (or links to them) or a direct link to isolated character pics would be appreciated and would help making more in the future too.

Erm I'm not a dev but as far as I know providing links to sprites is highly illegal. Devs are (amazingly) still frequenting these boards as you might know.
A few rules which were mentioned earlier in this thread:
- 1. Watermark your posts
2. Don't provide illegal links (at least not publicly)
3. Don't quote recent images unless necessary
Anyway if anyone who is interested in doing these sprites and who wants some advice here are some quotes from previous authors.

Timed my screengrab key to a fadeout when there was no text on the screen, then dropped it in as a layer and used magic wand to remove the outer black part.
Duplicated layer, used magic wand to remove inner black part. Set first layer's transparency to 30% (I think).
If a smarter person here can suggest a less complicated method, let me know.
Note: Apparently by pressing 's' during KS you can get a screenshot. Doesn't work for me, but it might for you.
Playtime is the official KS font

Shoopers will note that this font doesn't actually have a bold face (as seen in the character name titles); the libSDL_ttf code inside Ren'Py's pygame framework is likely generating it on the fly by rendering the font outlines with a thicker pixel border.

"playtime with hot toddies" doesn't have a bold or italic option. Though there is a way to fake this in Photo shop. There is an option on the top tool bar next to the text warp tool. Called "Toggle the character and paragraph patterns" Highlight the text you want to mess with and click on the icon. (It looks like a graph icon from Microsoft Excel) and a little icon box should pop up. There you can make the font bold, italic, all caps. and etc. I literally just discovered this a few minutes ago when i messing around in PS. I hope this helps

I'll add more if I find any more tips
