No need to rename.
You can just make a hedgehog that is green and has whatever you add on him, that is not edited.
I don't see how he is evil, but nu, and can make like your own plot, with his own story or somthing, but make your own Custom sprite.
Some really good spriters most likely did start out with edits and recolours. But later they move on to custom work, learned new styles and so on.
Edit have never really got to far because its not there real work, just a recolour or they have some item on or with them.
Seeing as you think your that good with editing, why not try making your own sprite. Just start out small and work your way up.
Like maybe if you did that, others may see that your not so bad, and that maybe all this ranting or whatever would stop.
And that they can maybe help you become a better spriter.
And don't say MS paint fails, I know alot of good spiters that use MS paint and are really good.[/i]

He's not Evil,the sheet i edited him from is.
I'll consider making customs when i can.
I don't use MS paint,i use Gimphoto.
