Hi all, I''m looking for good online resources that explains the creation of sprites. If you know any, please post a link. I appreciate your help!

Well, use your favorite paint program and draw them! If you''re no artist at all, then you might be outta luck. I really can''t imagine any tuturials on "How to be a good Artist" or "How to Draw". Those are almost totally inborn traits.

Sorry. what I meant was,
In what sprite do the actions start off with?
For example, say we have a "walk" sprite set for 4 movement directions; N, S, W, E.
The "walk" action has 5 sprites:

"standing straight"
"right leg up"
"right leg down"
"left leg up"
"left leg down"

Something like that.

I''m not sure which sprite I should display first, when the player walks.
Should I start with "standing straight" and end with "left leg down" or "standing straight"? or should I not include "standing straight" at all?
I just don''t get how they start and end.
A real sprite set used in a real game would certainly help.
Oh also, I''m not sure how many sprites I should have for every action.
Can I have totally different sprite numbers for all the actions, or should I decide say, 5 for every action etc? My game is isometric 2D, if taht helps.

Thanks for your help!
