There are arguments going on in another topic that I (of course) started on this community's views on spriting. What does it mean to you?
Do you strive to be better artists?
Are you working towards making materials for bigger things?
Or are you just doing this for fun?
My opinion? I started spriting because I thought sprites were just the building blocks to something greater. I always wanted to makes sprites for a fan game or video or whatever someone needed them for.
I think that's great and I want more people to do that. Make pixels that are useful!
Well I must admit I started up trouble because (while Meta's stuff is nice) it isn't erm... useful. Yeah I know it's a terrible thing to say! I don't really care too much for big glorious pixel arts. I'd rather see people working on something that can be put on the Custom Section. Something useful. And when I saw someone who had the potential to do that I had hope! That's probably why I blew my top and I'm sorry.
The fact that A. some members scare people away or B. convince them to make the Pixel Mona Lisa means that we really don't see anyone trying to make new stuff for the Custom Section.
So yeah I was kind of being selfish, but now I realize people must choose what they want to do with pixels!
Um sorry to ramble off like that but I wanted to get that off my chest.
