you'll have to excuse my lowercase syntax it's the only way i can retain my dry ironic wit, but ripping sprites is akin to archiving art.
certainly some of it's not very good, but i cant count how many times ive heard of pixelartists coming to a site like TSR for inspiration instead of a regular art community
I came here because I thought there was a pixel community...why would I need inspiration...
IMO Without insperation there is no meaning to your art and art without meaning isn't art. Doesn't matter if that meaning is only for you to know or if you make it plain as day so everyone knows.

4-thanked it so I could 4-unthank it
Artists need inspiration. Therefore you aren't an artist. At all.
Everything you do, be it music, drawings, poem, etc. are inspired by something else. You don't create something from nothing. Notice that inspiration is not copying the source.
Sometimes I wonder how can you, a professional-tier pixel artist, say unpolished stuff like that.
I agree with this post and god damnit gorsal, I swear I'm gonna change your name.
Also my insperations include Music, Matt, Friends, tSR, and things of that nature.
