*This topic is solely for posting sprites and other art from the game, not any information about the game itself. And it is NOT a request thread. I'm not requesting anything, and neither are you.*

Introduction:
First off, I run a small (non-profit) indie development company, and we are developing a Facebook app based around a monster-owner companionship with sole rpg roots. I can't say too much about the actual game right now, other than it is fairly far into development.

What we are doing right now is drawing the different sprite and character graphics for the game itself. The style is in the classic NES style rpg, until in a fight or talking scene occurs.

Description:
In the game, you are basically able to capture and raise companions, ranging from common house cats and small rodents, to large and powerful boss monsters. Every beast has a way of being "tamed". That said, there are multiple poses of each creature. There are "head shots", where it show's the creature's head facing right on a 64x64 image, with a simple background showcasing the general region it'd be found in. (Shades of brown for rocks or caves, leaves for forests, bubbles for water, etc.) There are "walking" poses, where it's a basic sprite sheet. There are also "battle" poses, where it shows different poses of the creature in a battle state, with a usually higher graphical quality, compared to the basic "walking" sprite. Then lastly there are the "speech" sprites, which are about medium size (under 640x480px) detailed pictures of the creature which will (obviously) be used in a talking section. This pose features different expressions.

Goal:
Right now, we have very few sprites, but a few images to show. I will (hopefully) be updating this post with future images, etc. Posting this will hopefully motivate us to create more graphics instead of re-using them.

Now, after seeing the general gist of the project, I am accepting help from any kind people with a little free time, a big heart, and no lust for money. ;)
Thank you for reading this wall of text!
I am accepting feedback and helpful advice too, so don't be afraid to respond!
