SPRITE COMIC! A REALLY REALLY CHEAP ONE!
But, if any of you can help, I'd appreciate it. Really. I already have two forums to post it on (including this one) and I need some help with it.
I need:
Backrounds
Sonic Sprites
Tips
Staff
Programs

Cause right now, all I have is Paint, the Windows 7 snipping tool, and...(don't laugh) a scene creator I found on newgrounds.

Google is your friend.

Also, Paint? You might want to get something more advanced.

...Why do you think i'm begging for help?

I remember I always used to make these type of comics. For sprites, go to spriters-resource.com, great website. There used to be this old website around called Background HQ for backgrounds, not sure if it's still up.

For a program, all you need is Paint, but Photoshop is really good for special effects. Or you can use a pixel art program. Personally I use Graphics Gale.

Would GIMP work for the more advanced stuff?
Because buying Photoshop for a sprite comic is silly.

Something that does not require years of experience. A simple, 6 panel per issue Sonic Sprite comic.

For that I would really recommend Graphics Gale. You can zoom in and paint pixel by pixel, and I don't think you'd really need Photoshop capabilities for it. It's really easy to get a hold of when you use it once or twice. The instructions are in a weird language though, either Japanese or Korean.

But if you really want to make a good comics series, I suggest hand-drawing everything.

Sprite comic? People still make those? Are people too lazy to draw now?

For the first time, I agree with Daizeh.

People are too lazy to learn, or too young to bother putting the time in.
Only good sprite comic I ever read was 8-Bit Theater.
