While some companies had the financial capacities to develop their own tools, freelance artists couldn’t afford that and had to rely on commercial softwares. Such was the case with Satoshi Nakai (Gynoug, Valken) who designed graphics on an X68000 with a mouse and a copy of Z'Graff. Another example is one of the graphic designers who worked on Thunder Force IV and trained himself on PCG Editor, a commercial graphic tool that was available on X1 and MSX.
