Again, I'm a programmer, not a graphic artist or pixel artist. These are just things I've seen and heard about. I have no expertise in these things. I'm sure if I'm wrong or have missed something obvious someone will chime in and share better advice. Good luck, please share what you make!
I sent an email to Kevin Bradford, guy who made the android apps, and he said he got it from open clip art too. Sorry for my rash sounding response. I jumped a bit when I saw something on OGA that was used in a commercial project. I didn't want anyone to have problems. My mistake, you're right, I'm sorry. It's free game and licensed exactly as you have it.

Thanks for showing me an awesome new source of free content that's not restricted by license problems!
caeles is a really smart guy, you should listen to him. Also, he pointed out the bits about number of tiles in a tile sheet vs size of the tiles (something you asked about but I totally missed). He has more artistic talent than me, he can probably answer questions better.
I'm not a site moderator either by the way, just another person who likes to frequent the site.
These are from the same clipart site as the round animals. Where did these come from originally? Who made them? How does anyone know they're not commercial art that's protected by copyright?
Who made them originally? My kid plays games on his kindle and he has a few apps that use these commercially. I'd be careful using these unless you made them.
I was looking through openclipart for medals and you submit this the next day. What ironic timing! Thanks!
I've experimented with JDraw and GrafX2. Here are links to both (free):
I haven't tried any of these following programs but here are some more pixel artist style programs I've seen on the web:

How do you have so much time to make awesome game assets? I wanna grow up to be just like you lol
You can use these graphics as place holder if you need something right away:

NOTE
MoikMellah beat me to the good link up above. This is only a partial set, use the one above.
Yep, I'm wrong. These are all useful and legit assets in the public domain. My mistake.

This looks great! Is there a chance you could provide these assets in a tileset instead of a finished product? Thanks.
