Furniture with sprites?

[Shinoki]

I've seen duet sprites with two characters or even three characters together in like basically one sprite image thing-take a look at some of the works by Liar-soft. Wheelchair characters.... well, I'm pretty sure their sprites have wheelchairs. So if a character spends most of the story sitting down on a bench in a set place like waiting for someone or maybe a NEET slouching on their chair without bothering to get up or something of the sort, how would it be to have the furniture with the sprite like...as one image?

Sure, why not? Sprites can be whatever you need them to be, you don't even have to have them be people at all. Do whatever works for your game. You'd have to be careful with the character's placement, so that they're high enough that it doesn't feel oddly placed on the screen but low enough that they fit with any standing sprites you have, of course.

Okay, thanks

You certainly could. If you want to keep things versatile, you might have standing sprites made with poses that'd look alright for seated versions. You could then position the characters so that everything waist-down is offscreen, and have the chair backs behind them.
