my boyfriend's been covering tiles while i've been doing most of the other stuff (so programming, character art, etc), and we give each other feedback pretty often. the tilesets for the demo are all pretty much done at this point; here's some examples:
meanwhile on my end, i finished sprites and talksprites for pause (main mc) and a portion of the talksprites for effect; i'm currently juggling programming and scripting to get a feel for rpgmaker, progress on the game, and figure out what other talksprites i might need. tomorrow i'll be doing effect's sprites, which should go a lot easier than today (since i just created the base for sprites today)(i really wish school hadn't decided to bite me out of nowhere this week)
