Recommended Sprites/Background editor

Does anyone know of a graphics editor that works specifically to the Megadrive's restraints?

Same post as in the other topic :

Personally i'm using Tiled and Gimp2, but they don't have native Megadrive constraint, you have to extra work to do for that.
You should check this one, made specifically for Megadrive :

I use Graphics Gale and a version of Tiled I modified for my needs. I use converters to transform their formats into C code.

The GG converter you can find in my prototypes (Goplanes, the Pingouin series, etc)

For Tiled, you can easily write a script like I did in Python to take the level file and convert it to a format you prefer.
