Ok, i have programmed a 2D engine(there are a few things left to do). But i have no idea how to make the textures of the game. It should look like the good old games from Sega MegaDrive like Sonic or Sparkster. How to create such characters and items??? Do i have to draw them by my own??? Or does exist a helpfull too???

Yes, or hire a decent 2D artist to do it for you.

A really great tutorial for help on pixel are is this site. Read through that and the art won't seem so intimidating.

Should hire Salsa to do some work, he is the best pixel artist I've seen on these boards to date.

Hire an artist.
