For part of my game I am making one of those haunted halloween sites that they have in semi-rural areas where kids go before or on halloween to run around through a big open area with a bunch of scares set up along the path. Except this one has been taken over by a Christian family and has thus become somewhat lamed down. So, I'm looking for some sprites of the following:

Umm... I guess that's it. (Hope I didn't offend anyone too much.) I'm looking for either characters that can wander around the woods, or some kind of 'displays' (like a tileset object) for maybe some of the later ones, like a witch burning site, or a Stalin monument. Or even a book burning! Who knows?! Be creative!

Yeah, that's all. It could be a really cool tileset I think if anyone is up for it.
You'll get mega credit when I put out a demo, which I am planning on doing in about a month or so. I'm almost to that point, (for real this time, in case anyone has been following me), this is one of the missing pieces to putting out a demo for me.

Thanks for looking. Check out my game if you wanna know more, http://exxceptiondraft.tumblr.com
And if you stare for long enough into the abyss... you just might stare it down.

I think the only thing offensive with that lineup is the fact that you're passing off one of palpatine's guards as a halloween decoration. And that kid ruined a perfectly good towel.

Also, I don't think Stalin makes for a very good halloween decoration either.

You know I had a feeling that was from Star Wars... but it came up when I typed in 'inquisition monk'... that's what I'm looking for... maybe more like this one, here: [spoiler][/spoiler]

As far as the Stalin thing, I'm going for the whole 50's McCarthy era, America first type vibe, which can be expressed in any way it can be symbolised without being TOO overtly racist, over-nationalist, and still stands for what these simple fictitious folk believe. So, you could put Hitler on a big stage burning Bibles for instance. But I prefer the communist symbology for this one. Whatever works.

Ah, I see. That makes more sense then.
Maybe you could throw in some soviet flags or some nuclear warheads.

Why not try making them yourself? Just find similar ones online or in the RTP then recolour them (do it manually, pixel by pixel, sticking to the original shades (so a dark green might became dark red while light green becomes light red). Just try and replicate the original art style (border thicknesses etc).

You're unlikely to get anybody else to do it, as it's such a specific request. People usually don't mind making sprites IF others might then use it too. So yeah, give it a go - it's a good skill to have.
