There's always N poser for the ninja.

I'm not so sure about the rest though, sorry.

Woah. The poser is AWESOME. It'll be really helpful. I guess I could rip the enemy sprites. It wouldn't be that hard. 4 drone types times 2 posisitions is eight sprites, plus two for the turrets...
Anyway, thanks again.

Yeah, no problem.
I wanna see what you can come up with. =)

Cool. Any specific pointers you can give? Also, how do I get the little posed ninja into MSPaint?

Well I don't know what you're capable of, so I can't critique on nothing.. But I can tell you, you might wanna try a different imaging program, such as Gimp, rather than paint.

Umm I don't know if there's a specific way to get the image into paint, but I would imagine Alt+Printscreen to take the screen-shot would serve quite nicely.

One problem with that...
Paint is the only imaging program I have. Could I get Gimp for free/ cheap? Is it not possible at all in paint? Didn't OneSevenNine make his in Paint?

Gimp is freeee. http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
Well paint is still good, it just limits your artistic abilities. There's nothing wrong with paint, I'm just saying, the quality produced from paint is less than the quality from other programs. I didn't say it's not possible, cause it's ultimately your decision.

Hoooold on, there is a massive spritesheet for this on the old forums, which I will dig up for you in a bit.

Edit: Hello!

Make some of the footage in-game if you want, it'll sort out enemy sprites for you. Just give the n poser the right background color and bam.

Or check this out for high resolution no-background n+ ADVANCED sprites. Link

Like I make the background and enemies in Ned and insert the posed ninja into the picture? That sounds like a good idea, and it would fix the need for tiles. Thanks!
EDIT: Awesome, I finished the first strip. This is easier than I thought. :) Now all that's left is to think of a title...

Many comics started out (or some still are) having titles like "new webcomic" or "my webcomic" or something like that.

What? When I try to upload it as an attachment it says: "The extension bmp is not allowed." What does that mean?

That means the bitmap (.bmp) image extension is not valid.
Basically, save it as a different file. I'd try .png, .jpg or .gif (in that order) - alternatively you can upload it to an image hosting site like Image Shack or Photobucket (I prefer Photobucket, but it's your choice).
