I am working on an action-rpg (Secret of mana 3 style) and am having major problems with the art. I have a large portion of the basic enginge completed, but I am not an artist

I have a few questions, and I figured that this would be a good place to post them:
1. Are all frames of a game sprite the same size? The reason I ask this is because, the character will stay the same size, but I need to have frames where he is swinging his sword, and I was wondering if these would be larger than normal frames and calculations be done to account for the size difference. or would all frames be the same size, even if there is extra space on some.
2. Does anyone know of any good art tutorials (the art I am trying to make is pretty low res, but I am probably too picky and can not get it to look just right)?
3. Could it possibly be any easier for me (seeing how I am not an artist) to model my characters in 3D and have them rendered for me in certain positions? Or would that be even tougher?
If you can answer ANY of these questions (or help me out with my art

lol) please reply! I need help with this badly!
Thanks!
