tSR has been around for a good long while, and accumulated a lot of sheets. However, as time passed, our skills improved; and some of the custom sheets that were once considered acceptable have become obsolete. We can't delete them, as that's removing content that could be useful to someone.
So I propose a replacement project. first of all, we take a quick stock of sheets that are now considered low quality, and once a month, I'll post a few (say 5 or so) that are up for replacement. Then it's a contest between you guys as to who can make the best replacement. The winners have their sheets uploaded to tSR!
Edits are allowed; just as long as the sheet is of better quality than the original; so anyone can take part. But be aware that you can only lobby for one sheet, and each sheet has a limited number of contestants. Choose wisely as to what sheet you wanna revamp!
AWWRIGHT PEOPLE TIME FOR SOME ROUND 1!
In light of the hefty number of complaints with the Mario custom section, we'll start with that.
Your 5 sheets are:
Pirahna Plant

This sheet has suffers from some really poor shading and colouring. To be successful here; a good understanding of colour theory is vital!
Entrants:
- Parakoopa
Petey Piranha Pixel Art

Oh dear... not only is the lineart very sketchy and uneven, the colouring is also out of whack. With no inherent style or size limits, if you like doing PAs, this is your real chance to shine.

Looking kinda stiff there, buddy. This sheet could be better done by someone who has a good concept of animation and poses to make Magikoopa come alive!

Like water, poetry, and the milk in your refridgerator; sprites need to flow in style and consistency. If parts stand out more than others; and edits are obvious, it all looks wrong. And that's no good. An easy one for the less experienced spriters out there to show how edits are meant to be done.

I'm not sure what to say... Let's get this one replaced, and move on shall we? >>

Just tell me what sheet you want to have a crack at, and I'll add your name to the first post. You may only attempt one sheet. If you want to switch that's fine; but your other entry is null and void. There's no limit to the number of people that can sign up, but if one sheet gets an imbalanced number of applicants, I'll block it off. You'll want to make your application quickly! Plus, if you go for a sheet with low competition; you're more likely to win~
Thanks, and I hope this project can become a success! =D
