I went over to TigSource to just browse around now that I'm back into making games and noticed they have a forum gallery of all the images shared in the threads. It's very basic but shows you a TON of images all at once that you can browse through. The Pixel Work and Mockups galleries were very nifty and game me some new games ideas to boot!

Whole point being, it's great for inspiration and learning. I'm not the best at sprite drawing but by finding some on TigSource that fit the minimal nature of Pico-8 and copying them, I feel I have a better understanding of how to break down an image into an 8x8 square.

Sure, some of it is just changing colors but hey, gotta start somewhere. I'm feeling a little left behind with all the great sprite work around here, so I gotta do what I can to catch up ;P

That's a great source!

Another good one for learning is PixelJoint search, as you can look stuff up by size.

This way you can see how some experienced pixel artists animate 8x8 or 16x16 sprites.

Saw this link in the Armada thread...looks promising too. That just links to one collection, guessing there are tons at that site.
