The difference is
you have a LOT more talent and you should be doing more things in order to improve. It's infuriating to see people with obvious potential wasting it by doing the same subject every single time. It doesn't matter that "you're a Mario fanboy," you should be trying other things so you can actually improve. I'm a KOF/Ninja Gaiden fanboy, but you don't see me only spriting KOF/NG characters. Fanboyism isn't an excuse for refusing to develop. All good artists and artists that want to improve should be encouraged to do things that are out of their comfort zone.

Ridge Troopa is totally irrelevant to this discussion because he is a seasoned spriter. Iceman is not. Or is he? We don't know! He doesn't do anything that isn't Mario, or other people in Mario "proportions" (lol where my shoulders at).
Also, Ridge was spriting for a sprite project. Of course he's going to stick to the same subject and style-- it's a project. If you're going to try to raise a point in an argument, please make sure it's valid and that you've actually researched what you're going to bring up so you don't end up looking like a stupid chode, bro :I'
And with that, I'm going to direct you to this post that you seemingly ignored. Even if you read it before, read it again. Slowly. Actually absorb the context of the post. It will seriously help you in your future endeavors-- provided you actually want help, that is.
If that's the case, just say "I don't want help" and we'll proceed to ignore all of your future topics. :l
And no I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm being realistic.
let me go ahead and reiterate that this post is not meant to be hostile in any manner whatsoever
