Summary

Hi. I'm making a fangame atm and I want to draw my own sprites for it, instead of using the sprites that come with RPG Maker. However, my sprites are a lot bigger than the standard ones. I looked online and it says that, to make the characters appear properly, I need to put them in a 3 * 4 grid. When I try this, it doesn't work. Can someone either tell me what dimensions I should use, where I'm going wrong or - if you can - could you...

Attached is the sprite sheet.
