I have drawn small gfx in dpaint many times.  I have to do that for making game gfx.

What I do:
1. Decide how big my gfx is allowed to be.

2. Draw 2 lines in the upperleft of the screen at 1 pixel beyond my gfx max size.  So I know I have to stay inside this "box".  2 lines like this: _|

3. I draw my gfx into the upper left of the screen inside the "box".  I use the rest of the screen to cut and paste other gfx or to do experiments and things.

4. When I am done I pick up my gfx as a brush.  Then save the brush to disk.

Can't you just make a fullscreen anim in Dpaint using 640x400 NTSC mode and just don't use the bottom of the screen?

Draw a line across the bottom of the screen at y=377 (or whatever) and don't draw anything into that area.

At the end you could just erase the line.  Then save your full screen anim.

I have not really done fullscreen anims in Dpaint.  Maybe I made 1 or 2 as an experiment a century ago and now I forgot?  Donno.  My gf was the one who made fullscreen dpaint anims.
