Quite nice, Mage. I don't have a program available on this computer to get a close look, but it appears that Kid is taller than Schala. You might want to cut a pixel or two's height from her legs and shorts.
... you know, I never really realized that Kid wears shoes. Nice job on those.
Faust, it isn't so much that spriting skills are rare, just that spriting is so time consuming that few people employ their skills. A decently skilled amateur will probably take a good day or two to create just one sprite (if it is the first in a sheet), then still about 3 or 6 hours for the first sprite of a particular pose (as in, the first standing/walking sprite, the first sleeping sprite, etc), and even then another 4ish hours to complete the entire motions of that pose (possibly more or less, depending on the complexity). A single character sheet (if made from scratch) can represent months of free time. Few people have that sort of free time or the interest of taking a single character sheet to completion.
Kid Serge, I'd recommend also trying to become a presence on a fan site. If people recognize your screen name, respect you, and know that you won’t give up on the project in a few months (or a few days), they are more likely to devote themselves to your project.
