No offence but I am a little perturbed by your question.
Do I understand you correctly?
There is a sprite which someone else made and instead of selling it for money they decided to share it freely so that anyone and everyone would have a nice sprite free of charge. Now you (who did not make this nor contribute to it in any way) want to claim it as your own, making it impossible for A) the artist who created it and B) anyone else to use it without your permission.
This is because you think this will be less work than drawing your own sprite or getting a friend to do so?
Look, I don't mean to flame you, but in my experience there are certain things in human behavior which I can not understand nor account for. Such things as rape, as a super-rich multinational corporation having a peaceful indigenous community who lived in harmony with nature throw off their land using violence, etc, so that the company could get at a resource that they would have to destroy the area in order to get, just for a litttle money until the resource is depleted; the other thing is people going to war over a minor difference in the interperetaions of a few passages in their scriptures... I dispair at such things!
And without passing any judgement on your character, I'm afraid that if I understand your question correctly, then I will add what you want to do to the list of things I can not account for.
I am very busy these days, I have found a job which I love and where my skills are greatly appreciated, I also do voluntary work without pay to support a cause I believe in and help people - apart from that, I don't mean to get ahead of myself but I think it is safe to say that at present my love-life is not looking completely and utterly hopeless(?) - but seriously, I will give up my time and energy in order to create a sprite for you that you can copyright if you promise to never NEVER try to copyright work someone else created in order to freely share with others.
Yeah, I kind of missed what he said about using his friend's sprite. Sorry
again, good luck.

The technical term for that is a "dick move".
Good luck with your game.
