A Place for new Spriters

Making a sheet for free with a certain level of skill, why?

Last time I checked, I absolutely have no real reason to do what you people call a "custom sprite sheet" to make public just for the sake of charity.

First of all, a [properly animated] spritesheet takes quite a lot of work and, although more "useful" it can hardly be considered as artistically viable as a "showcase" product as most of the things you see pixelartists make for practice/fun.

Personally, as a pixelartist I prefer to see Elk's giant dragon over Elk making a random sprite sheet, why?

Cause I don't need someone to make a spritesheet for me.

I'm not sure why the people who submitted sheets so far have done so, but I can tell you, calling work a lot of people put tons of time and effort into a waste of talent hardly motivates me (and most likely more people) into doing what you could easily call very time-consuming charity work.

There are probably ways to convince pixelartists to contribute some stuff like custom sprite sheets, but the way you did feels rude, not inviting.


p.s. last I checked this has little to do with

talented spriters and pixel artists vs the new guys

.

I'm sure if you put the opinions of all the "talented spriters/pixel artists" in a column and compared them, you'd most likely find that it isn't just "a side that's fighting the newbs" but individuals who can do art well who have an opinion.

If you want to persuade people to contribute, feel free to do so, but don't call the art people do a waste of time, please.
