Sprite artists/sprite tutorials?
Preface: Please move this topic to the proper section if it's in the wrong section. I'm not sure if it is since this is game dev related so yeah. But anyway moving on.
Anyway, hi guys. I'm sort of inactively working on a Pokemon game or two right now via Essentials -- I've got a story and some trainers and I'm looking for a sprite artist for the gym trainers and player characters, as well as a 'standard' rival character and an "OMG UNEXPECTED PLOT TWIST" character (think Giovanni as the final gym leader type of plot twist). I want to sprite myself but I don't know how and don't know if I would be any good so I was looking for a place to find one and run my ideas by them, not sure if that's okay here. Also, I do want to learn on my own eventually, so are there any good spriting tutorials out there for Pokemon style sprites?
Thanks so much for all your help :3
