MS Paint is honestly not a good (sprite) program to use. If you can, download StencylWorks. Use some tweaking with the sprites you make on there and then put it into something like Dropbox, then use the [img] tags to put into your post.

Simples.

Next, the jpeg thing. MK is right there: PNG and other files ate highly superior. Notice how fuzzy your sprites are? The jpeg did that.
But the spriting ITSELF is rather good. It's a tad untidy and I would like to see a bit more but I recommend you keep it up.

Actually, if you know how to use it, MS Paint is the best sprite program. While layers and saving transparency aren't supported, the program itself is small and doesn't really require anything to load. I use it for my pixel art and sometimes sketches.

Well, I suppose you're right, but it is usually inferior to other programs and if you have the alternative should be swapped with something better.
