If you have no idea who the heck I am, no worries, its unimportant. (But you already know that right? anyone you don't know is unimportant until he proves otherwise.)
For those that do:
Yea, I'm back. Just for abit, and nothing too serious. Just gonna be around abit, take a peek at anything that strikes my interest, but otherwise I'm not really gonna be "back" or active.
This place is a bit too pumped up for my tastes, and not really with the subject matter I'd be interested in.
Although I keep hearing good things about NTSD or something like that. Some naruto mod with some pretty good spriters on the team. Gotta check that out soon.
Anyway, I hope to find some old familiar names here, so give a shoutout if you've changed yours, or if you just feel like it.
As for the rest of you who don't know who I am, but read all the way here out of curiosity or boredom, here's a tidbit for you:
- I was a Spriter. (note: "was")
- I was a DCer (note: "was")
- I used to go by a different name. (I don't want to put it up unnecessarily now, its a pain, even though it doesn't even have as much clout as it used to.)
"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.

"I'm back" -threads are totally useless if you don't want to say who you are....
And creating them even though you are " not really gonna be "back"" or active" is even more useless.
Based on your IP I know you are from Malaysia, near Singapore.
C'mon, don't you have the guts to tell us who you are?
I know who you are, it's just for the others.

"i am back" threads are there to inform ppl that you are back again.. so that ppl can count on you (or not )
you don't have to celebrate it.. .but you can if you want to..
mods (i can only speak from myself) are not bothered by something like that.. so why should you be? its just for fun.. imagine your best friend going away for more than an week, month, year.. wouldn't you happy then when he phones you/visits you after he came back? thats just the same
@siegvar: welcome back.. its good to have you back.
Allthough i am quite new here, i have heard alot of your "former name" also of all things which your "former self" created. And i know what you mean with "pumped up". Thats the situation right now, i hope you can deal with it and someday get "fully" back or active again.
[sig placeholder until my new sig is finished]
should totally allow people to be all trolley on their birthday

Yo dude, long time no see. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm Silva (I changed my name as a joke, then MH/BP took away my name changing powa, so I'm stuck as Lord Silva... Not that I mind).
Yep a lot has changed around here - most people which know you are either gone or aren't active. Quite sad really, I can't even remember the people that used to be around back then . Us old timers are a dying breed, heck I feel like I'll be leaving soon... To quote an awesome movie "I'm getting to old for this s*** ". .
But enough of that, welcome back. Hope you fulfill your goals and what not.

C'mon, don't you have the guts to tell us who you are? Since you know his real identity, you should show more respect for him than the others and be the example.
Welcome back, Siegvar.
