Just curious, coz I might be heading over there for my studies soon, and it'd be nice to know someone there at least.
"I may devour the five continents, and swallow the three seas, but a body with neither wings, nor hands, nor feet, is powerless against the sky."
My stuff:
| sprites | frozen |
1) DO NOT PM ME
2) Go read up on anatomy and proportions online. (google is your best friend)
3) Go read up on pencil sketching-shading.
4) Practice by making FULL character sheets. (Refer to bases and references if you have to, occasionally try doing things from scratch. You have to mix both methods; bases and without.)
5) DO NOT be an arrogant, self-righteous prick when people try to give useful critiques, and ignore the ones who are flaming idiots. (Flaming them back makes you one of them.)
6) Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you're happy, or you think you're good, then start sharing your knowledge with your fellow spriters.
7) Showcase your sprites. At first, do not be discouraged when you don't get any critiques, or lousy/generic critiques. Continue practicing and showcasing your work. With more sprites, it will be clearer what your strengths and weaknesses are, and people may be better able to give you better critique.
Lastly, if you think saying all this makes me an arrogant, self-righteous prick who is too selfish to share his knowledge...
Then I say you cannot recognise wisdom when I've just slapped you in the face with it. (Also, those steps are the same steps I used to get to where I am, I don't know any way else to truly learn.)
Unless you think its worth my time, go F*** yourselves. I'm not going to bother to even reply to PMs like "can you help me make this character?" anymore.

Florida.
Would certainly be interesting to see where everybody comes from, displayed on a world map. Maybe we live next door to another LFEer without knowing it?

Actually I have no idea. Anyone of you guys know where Digipen US is?
On Google maps its the one near Seattle and Washington or something. And I don't see another Washington around.
I don't think its the state coz its labelled against a small area in the map... and not one of the big labels in a rectangular plot that I suppose are the states.
Why does the USA have to be so frigging huge? Singapore is barely 40km wide and 30km tall... or less than that. I can't rmb, my geography is screwy. oh and that roughly translates to about 25 and 20 miles... lol. And already I can get lost in that tiny space.
