High-quality sprited characters

[Silverthorn]

Who is that FX? Me XD?

FenoilX aka. Harlequin aka. Sheldee.


But that aside; finally, there is some quality discussion going on :P
Marshall surely has a valid point with the community that's being able to guide newcomers on their way which the senior did not have. But community is certainly not everything. As an example, you can take Trickity. He came out of nowhere and is being awesome (I'd really like to know how you acquired your spriting skills, Trickity).

But the age is not really a valid point in that matter. Betit, for instance, just turned 14, iirc, for which he does some pretty advanced work. Few people actually join at such young ages (which reminds me that kids under 13 actually have to ask their parents if they can create an account. lol), so we cannot talk about it representatively.

Not to mention that I don't know a whole lot of guys who freely acknowledge irl that they like to sprite in their free time. Or painting, in general. PC games, sports, anything like that. But I think that's getting off the point.

It certainly is a positive thing that we now have some active spriters again. Considering that we haven't had, excluding a few, proper projects the past couple years (fully customized things).
