MURPHYMUTTZ'S PROFILE

Hello thanks for even reading im very new to all of this developing and whatnot so any help would be appreciated if someone could link me to where i could either find a tutorial on how to create sprites with modern attire or edit pre existing sprites. for RMXP. i dont even have the software yet but have been reading and doing research and i will have it soon i jus want to be prepared for when i do have it i want to hit the ground running. i plan to download the new modern tiles and not exactly sure what the game i will be creating is yet but im thinking along the lines of an action rpg probably with crime elements and alot of fighting and shootout nothing special. any references or help would be appreciated and also if someone could let me know how to acquire a vehicle graphics for my game that would be greatly appreciated. i have many questions but this is all i can type for now any help would be appreciated thanks again.
