start an overly-ambitious indie project with only 3 people so that when you're out of ideas, you can always work on the billions of things THAT requires

If that's too much work, you can always come up with a story of your own and work around that

If that's too much work, you can illustrate an existing story that you happen to like

If that soudns lame, you can take random lines from books or speeches etc., and draw what it makes you think of

i sorta want to make a game
or at least the sprites and tiles

but i cant draw sprites or people
i suck at it

got a good tut for sprites
iv been looking around but i just cant seem to find what im looking for

sorta final fantasyish type sprites
mages, warriors, rogues, ect...

Welcome to Pixelation! PREPARE FOR CRITS:

Made a Quick edit based on PixL

Unfortunately you based it on the 'what' and not the 'why' of PixL's changes. Yes, there are little sticky offy bits. But they're not just thrown on there randomly - note how they all terminate horizontally, and how they are fairly thin. All of this serves to emphasize speed and movement. His slight perspective change is very welcome, and helps to clarify the fact that your vertical lines are actually rings. While its far too busy to appeal to me personally, I still thought I should point out that you only duplicated the very worst parts of his edit! Remember - don't just look at the WHAT - think about the WHY.

I do not see any 'man' in your rock man yet; the shapes are confusing and illegible, there is too much dithering, not enough contrast, busy outlines, and no clear light source or planes.

thanks
