VX CHARSET HELP

So, in a game I'm making, there are a lot of characters that default resources won't help with. As well, I haven't found any resource generators that will do what I'm looking for. These characters are "beastmen" (i.e. cross between a tiger and a human). Does anyone know of an easier way to to design character graphics than placing each pixel? If not, would anyone be interested in helping me design character graphics?
