maybe they aren't even trying to be a spriter?
Maybe they're not actually looking to improve their skills, but rather trying to improve the sprite quality of something. Which means "Looks good" takes precedent over "I learned something". I'd like to think this is quite the common issue with sprite comicers and (fan) game makers that do not yet have the skills to make decent art and thus rely on others and their currently limited spriting talents. Is this the lazy way? Perhaps, even likely. But the point is, some of them may to look for those better versed in spriting for advice on how to make what they have look really good even if those with better trained eyes and more talent can tell it really isn't that hard.
Tl;dr Some people just want the end results not the practice and rather focus their attention on other things, like writing or programming.
Pardon me for asking this, but am I a total nutjob for not seeing how this is a problem at all?
