SIR_VEILLANCE'S PROFILE

I'm working on a small project just for fun and would like a few opinions.

I am considering just using the default resources or those made with the character creator in my game, maybe a few small custom things. I feel that if I tried to make custom art for my game it would take an extremely long time and would have to be simplistic.

I am making all of my own music, but just wanted a few opinions, do you feel that a game is more appealing if the graphics are custom made as opposed to the default runtime graphics that so many games use? Or do you feel that it's really not that important. I could make my own and it might be a fun little journey, but it would be an extremely hard load also.
