These might be good. Think, too, about non-square sprites. For instance, 
for my project I'm using 64x128 sprites. For comparison, if you've seen 
the "Final Fantasy" games, the first games used 16x16, then moved to 
16x24 with big heads.

If you're drawing sprites yourself, definitely check out the tutorial at 
<http://www.zoggles.co.uk/asp/tutorials.asp?tut=17>. There's another 
copy of the tutorial somewhere that I think has more.
