Some others from this one are B-Rad and Rudolf27 or whatever was his name DarkLord was one of the first DCer who really used the known tags to create some new technics like fusion with itr-k3 or so. Might not sound complicated today, but at this time it was new (and I think Marshall and maybe YinYin are the only guys I remember from that time ).
What, did you forget me? lol.
Anyway the 3 generations classification seems pretty apt, although its a little brief, and sticks some really good DCers in limbo between generations. And I still don't get why people like B-Rad was considered anything special. He was only replicating techniques already available... while many other modders including I were mixing up some pretty strange techniques to interesting results... though I never bothered to refine them.
The guy who did wraith sorcerer? forgot his name... the other guy with the flying technique I borrowed for Sharpe? also forget his name. Chinese names.. never could remember them. They're probably more notable mentions than B-rad and Rudolf27 whom I have no impression of at all.
Also, there's probably 1 more generation before the 1st. But it only involves the primarily mandarin speaking community, and only lasted awhile. While there was only (was it Neocrypt's) Encrypt and Decrypt batch files, there were quite a few creatively DCed characters. Strange energy curtains, rains, projectiles... the old old series of NEO characters. I think I even ripped some DC frames from them on some experimental character I did using ripped sprites from other games. Does anyone remember more details about this? Marshall perhaps?
"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.

@Up
Every DCer who is part of the "Advanced DCer" group has made something awesome that was never done before, hence the name "Advanced".
Out of the whole group, however, I can't say who is the best of them.
It's actually impossible to point out one "best" DCer, at least with an objective approach.

To find the best Dcer of this time we can hold a contest in which every Dcer can make their wow move and submit and at last the best entry would be the best for current time.
Watcha Think Guys?
