Getting sprites

[Riptide]

where do you get sprites for making backgrounds. I go to sprite resource or sprite database but it's a real pain.
I can't find what I need.

Some emulators can make layers transparent.

Is the the best place to get them?

Is that all?

Backgrounds aren't that popular with a lot of spriting websites who tend to focus on characters & objects first. Oftentimes you'll have to rip the resources from the emulator yourself. I'd look around for sprite ripping/ stage building tutorials on here if I were you. There's plenty.
