Character design?
I really want to make my own characters but I can't draw. I've tried http://www.jewel-s.jp/download/ but I'm not a fan of the art style. I know there are people who have their sprites up for free use but I don't want a ton of characters with diffrent art styles.

Long story short, is there an easy way (like a prgram or something) that I can make characters in the requires no drawing? Or something else?

well Im not an anime guy, if anything its borderline chibi for the lack of being able to draw a decent body. But there should be a good subforum on finding artists here. Also a good serach for "royalty free" images or dive into deviant art and ask artists permissions.

Thanks but I kinda mentioned that I didn't want to do that in the 1st post.

ComiPo. It's not great, but you can use it commercially, and it looks sorta like Pokemon drawings, from the original cartoon.

I would but I don't have the money on me right now and you can't do much with the demo.

True. Also, the full version is very limited in terms of clothing.

My sister uses the Miku Miku dance character creator type software (I can't think of the name), but that's got tons of characters and clothing options, and it renders it very nicely in 2D. I absolutely suggest looking into that, because that was my next option personally.

I'll ask my sister next time I see her. It's pretty good though, and people have made thousands of clothing options for the characters.

I have seen that on devianart, just never found the program to use it in.

The program is called PMX editor. It's kinda like blender, but a simplified version for Miku Miku Dance characters. It renders really nicely to look like anime characters. Problems: she tells me it's in Japanese, and that it's kinda hard to attach clothing to the characters. Shouldn't be a problem if you spent a day running through a tutorial, but it does sound like it'd be a fair amount of work. Good thing is, of course, after that you'd have a dressed up posable character, and you could change their expressions, import movement animations for cut scenes, etc.

Can you turn the background transparent?
Also thank you so much for your help! :sense:
