How does one make Icons (Sprites and the like) (For VXAce)

[Setser]

 I am not really new to the use of RPG Maker VXAce, however I am completely oblivious as to how I can create my own custom sprites (without the Character generator)

If anyone out there could recommend a program out there to use for sprite creating purposes (other than paint please ^^) that would be amazing. (Can I also get the sizing rules as well, if that is not too much to ask?)

The best would be Photoshop, but as that's not free, GIMP would be next to recommend. It has the options you need for sprite making and it's free in the same time. Could need some time and practice to get used to though. ^^

Hello!
 
FYI icons are the small graphics that are used to show off the items in your inventory and things like that.  Sprites are a different thing entirely.
 
For program suggestions you should check out the Program and Utility Discussion section just below this one. Your question has been asked before so it'll be pretty easy to find good suggestions. (Note to other people replying, please don't do program suggestions here.)

The sizing rules are in the help file that comes with Ace.  Basically you need to keep the cels the same size and if the cels are all lined up the way Ace likes them they'll work regardless of how big or small the cels are.

Thank you both for your help, I really appreciate it! ^^

NP.  BTW you don't need to quote things to reply to them.  Just rely on context or say @Name to indicate who you're talking to and you're usually fine.

@Sharm Thanks for that as well. I will keep it in mind ^^
