Game Sprites!!!

[NOMADMAN]

I love making games but they lack something... What could it be? Oh yeah I can't make desent artwork, background/sprits/ANYTHING! I'd really appreaciate it if anybody knew where I could get some free sprites and or backgrounds.

THANKS Y'ALL!

Well, what I did for graphics was I searched the internet for RPG Maker websites. There's quite a few out there with all sorts of stuff for the RPG Maker program that you can use quite easily use in your games.

Or you could make your own in Paint!

<-- Look here; this is a quick Santa costume of him, looks a bit shabby, but the real thing looks really good :)

Thanks Drewski, I'll try that. Sastraxi, I already do use paint but it is way too time consuming. I use to just do it and it took about as long as writing the games code! I don't have any high power graphic apps and dont have the budget for it. I'm making a side scrolling and would like it to have many different sprites. But thanks, and thats a really good santa icon... can't believe it was done in paint!!!

Hey dude, look what I just found a few days ago:

http://www.anim8or.com

Download the animation program there. Its cool! Atleast that's what I think. What I thought cool was that the download for, such a nice program and powerful prog, was only 600k! And its FREE! I like the program because it is simple to use and learn. I was just thinking you could use this as an alternative source of graphics if you wanted something original. I could post some pics of what I've already made if you want me too.

BTW
I would suggest downloading their manual and reading through it. Its quite complete on how to use the program.



Hope this is a helpful tidbit,
Drewski
