The VG Resource

I'm new here, and am hoping to become a good custom-spriter, as I call them. This is someone who makes sprites for custom or pre-existing games. My first try will be for Kingdom Hearts, making HP bars and the Command Menu.

I would really like criticism, no matter how harsh. I just want to know what I should do next.
Edit: It appears as though the MP recharge bar and the letters for the Command Menu blend in, but they are just white, on an invisible background.

right so you didn't actually make anything that requires talent

you just made a bunch of bars
(ps that's not what a custom spriter is, really)
