Step 1. Obtain a paint-like program, or simply use paint.
Step 2. Set parameters of size to the program your using. (monsters sizes vary from 16x16 pixels to 64x64 pixels, in inventory items are 32x32 pixels, all items that are placed on chars must be proportional to their size, which is 16x16. if you would like to design an interface, then you can be given the parameters for it upon request.)
Step 3. use the program to make an image that fits within those parameters.
Step 4. save your image as a .tga file, and alpha channel it if you know how.(paint cannot due this, for this I would recommend 'GIMP' which is a free program to download and use.)
Step 5. display your work in the forums for all to see or email it to me at apoc254@hotmail.com
Congratulations, you have successfully made sprite work for the game!
Note: Not all sprite work will be accepted and added into the game due to graphical inferiority or to the fact that it doesn't suite the game's theme. It may take some time before you actually see your work in the game even when its approved, due to the fact that adding a single sprite to the game can take hours and time is better spent adding multiple sprites rather then 1 at a time.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to post this for me, its very much appreciated.
Would you happen to recall a site that had the stats and photos of in-game monsters and equipment? It was done by one of the game's clans but I cant seem to find the link to it anymore. It would be helpful having it since I need the sprites to fit in to the game's style.

Thats Horrible, I based my stat builds off the information on that site. I don't know how I'm going to do my stats without it now.
