Plokman's Backgrounds and Sprite testground

[Plokman]

I find title of this thread very misleading...

Instead of repeating what others have pointed out (aka, it's time to start again) I'll say this... How would Plok keep a cloak around him once he threw his hands and feet?

AND I will also say, welcome to the world of spriting. Do your homework, ignore most family/close friends who will say everything you do is good, accept everything you do is going to be criticised (in a good way... mostly. It'll be criticised honestly anyway) and get ready to work your arse off...

... or just run away, a lot of people do that.

Well maybe. I mean I was only trying to be cleaver with the title. Not a show off or anything. I aim to be a writer first and a spriter second. Oh and thats not Plok. Thats Plokman. Yeah I know real creative. But hey its me.

Thanks for the welcome and I will say I've been with Smackjeeves for ages so I know the subject of comicing well. But the other side of it I'm jujst getting a start in as I always found what I needed online here or elsewhere. But now I want to branch out and do more creative things like my friends on SJ.

I know so many do. But I never truly quit. I may go into a depression and break away for a bit but never quit.

ignore most family/close friends who will say everything you do is good.

i believe what you meant to say is

"learn to filter praise and encouragement from actual criticism."

wich inturn, aint something exclusive to spriting, but is rather something you develop as an actual human being.

Truer words have never been spoken.
