Well, I can only say that they have a good imagination
. If you really want to make cool sprites, I advice you to make 3d models in milkshape, max, etc and then take pictures of them in different stages.

Does everyone make there own sprites? If so what do you think of paint shop pro? Ive tried to make my own but they just dont seem very professional looking like some of the ones ive seen here.

i did buy it and use it (4.x or so)
i don't like his update pricing, got no problem with paying for an update, but 39 bucks was a little too much

I've been making my own sprites for my projects for the last 4 years, roughly, and I fully endorse
Graphics Gale, works like a charm.

Fleath,
On your reccommendation I went and purchased Graphics Gale and it appears to be very good. However I have a question I am hoping you may be able to answer:
To save an icon with a transparent background, it appears necessary to do all the following:
Click on layer properties (...) and ensure:
Transparency is DISabled
Alpha blend is DISabled (how is this achieved?)
Ensure the ON/OFF alpha channel (layer icon) is OFF (white)
Ensure the top-left and bottom-left pixels are both in the transparent colour.
Could you please advise me which of the above are actually necessary to ensure that an .ico file will have a transparent background?

For Human characters i can recomand Poser. It is a 3d rendering tool aimed at displaying humanoids. It is very easy to use and reasonably affordable.
there is a free clone of it available here
www.daz3d.com, but their program (daz studio) seems to be much slower (on my computer
).
