I'd suggest you just use existing characters and release the game freely online. You can easily find complete spritesheets of many popular game characters. Or start ripping sprites yourself, and build your way to editing/making your own sprites.
From the help manual:
Game Maker can be used free of charge. And you can freely distribute the games you create with it; you can even sell them if you like. See the enclosed license agreement for more details.

I don't have a problem there. ^_^

Also, yes, I do mean entirely new characters. That's why I need artists. Anyone can just edit or copy a sprite.

Thanks for the heads-up though.
