Classic Ninja Turtle - first ever sprite + Violent Ken custom anim

[Hoeloe]

Umm... no-one said those things without also saying something constructive. The fact is that you AREN'T going to learn by making small edits to things. If doing custom sprites is beyond your ability now, how do you magically expect it to become within your ability without tackling it? The best way to learn is to ATTEMPT what you can't yet do well, then post it here, allow us to comment on it, and then improve it with the aid of those comments. You're not going to improve by adding a few white pixels to someone else's sprite, just like you aren't going to be able to become a great painter by dropping a blob of paint onto the Mona Lisa.
