C+C And Style Discussion (Split from Nayr's Thread)

[Gaia]

To add on to Mighty's post, I think events that occur such as this one could be one of the many reasons most spriters that are seasoned/competent enough (ITT: The Mod Gen Fiasco) take a quick peek, grab -some- advice, then leave, instead of doing one of the more logical reasons:

Getting to know fellow spriters. How do you think I improved since I started getting active again? For example, what are fellow spriter's habits? What is their preferred style? What games do they like? That's the FIRST thing people should do before posting their very first sprite: to see what works and what doesn't. Even though I am gonna feel like I'm yanking a carrot from a string here, but what about megamario*randomnumbers* with his M&L3 Geno sprite (there's gotta be THOUSANDS of these by now)? Now see here, it's kinda hard to let go of what you are doing sometimes, I've been through that, true. But I don't usually sprite Mega Man 24 times over or try to imitate a style from that series anymore. Because it was simple: I listened to what they had to say. Why do you think it has "/community/" in the url?
