I could have tried to make it available in CodeImage...
Specifically I am having NPC interactions bring up a dialog screen where the character's portrait is displayed. I have the portraits being 3 layers making use of 2 scroll planes and a layer of sprites.
You could conceivably make more advanced looking sprites with 3 layers, but you sure would run out of sprites quickly. I felt like I ran out too quickly trying to do 2 layer sprites, so I have generally settled for 1 layer 1 palette sprites and try to keep that limitation in mind as I design assets. I suppose, depending on the type of game being made, 3 layer sprites could be manageable.
