1. What are you going to offer? Banners, sprite edits, etc.

2. What will be the shop's name?

3. Will you have workers to help you?

4. What will be your list of reasonable rules?

5. Are your examples good? The better examples, the more requests.

6. How often will your shop be open?

7. Will your work appeal to the community?

8. What do you have to make sprites? Just Paint? That's perfect!

9. What do you have to make something like a banner? An image program more complex than Paint can help you make better ones faster.

If you don't know how to sprite, then I suggest against openng a shop. people open shops because they want to improve their skills, make more of what they enjoy (and probably show off a bit). If you can't do something, making a shop for it is a stupid idea. Get goood at it first, THEN worry about making a shop.

if i ever sprite i find photosuite good. if your going to upload pokemon you've made from paint, onto photobucket or somewhere like that,then you tend to get the whole paint canvas,not just the pokemon,so photosuite (or any other software like that) is good for cropping down the picture.

and if no one has said it, you do need an account on photobucket or somewhere to upload your photos, so you can put them on the net.
you can get the img code from there aswell, so you can post them here.

btw,you should have paint on your computer,if you can't find it, try going to accesories,it should be there. you don't just have to use paint tho.
