I stink at art or anything artistic and I can't figure out how to use these 3D graphics programs. Can someone make some NPC's for me? I don't have the bonus skins or anything from ColdStone disc because I've still only got the demo version. So could someone create some NPC's for me? Tell me if you can and I'll tell you what I want. Thanks in advance.

ZeldaMaster, I hate to rain on your parade but I don't think you realize to extent of what you have just asked. For a non-combatant NPC there are typically 64 pictures (8 frames per direction x 8 directions) and if the NPC fights, add all the attack positions and defense positions and you get up in the hundreds of frames (128 frames minimum without the defense.) Now take all of these pictures and organize them into an animation sequence with the proper flags. We are talking many days of work here to produce one NPC.
I suggest you make your game with NPCs which are available from Coldstone and then if the game is very good, you might at that point be able to convince a graphic artist to give you help with the project. Be forewarned that there are only a few people around here who are any good at this and their time is valuable. Most of the capable artists have their own projects going.
You might have more success asking around the art department of your local school for someone who likes to work with computer graphics and wants to get in on this with you. Good luck with it. ~RD

Making the actual frames shouldn't take too long as it is just simple animation in the 3D package and then it draws the rest.
I'm sure someone here will help you. Unfortunately I am going to busy for the next year with my own projects. I have 4 games to make, 2 websites to look after, I have to learn PHP and re-program one of them in it. Not to mention I have GCSE's.
Try looking on the CRC (Coldstone Resource Centre). I think that I uploaded some people graphics a while ago though I can't remember. The URL is (url="http://"http://www.coldstonerc.cjb.net")www.coldstonerc.cjb.net(/url) (though this should change soon)
If that doesn't help try looking in the Add-On's section.

They are going to be the hero's. I'll try myself as soon as I learn how to use the animation thing in ColdStone. Is there a tuturiol out there to do that? I looked at the animation thing in ColdStone and couldn't understand anything in it. Ledorax, thanks for your offer but I don't really want to make anybody go through what seems like that much time just for a couple of figures for a game.
