I've been addicted to this forum site once, as I was checking back each day, to see I will get some feedback and being put through a lot of pressure on trying to show my work asap. I know you may think it's "all lies" or something but I'm actually being honest.
Btw the VG Resource is a great network of sites for asset archiving and such. My major complaint is that this site should really put up more tutorials somehow to save a lot of time for people (like myself) for tediously looking for tutorials on how to do certain customs/edited sprites. The VG Resoure's Wiki is pretty stubby too, there should be more information on the pages, which the ripping and tutorial section is pretty lacking.The sites really needs to be more helpful rather making users like me have to wander around the internet for hours looking for information just on how to rip sprites and making customs. Anyway that's all I have to say, I'm won't be coming back. Probably, if I've gotten better at customs/edits, done a lot of progress on my customs and rips, and also got my motivation back into gear, I will come back to show a bunch of new stuff. If you like, you can provide me information to help me get back on track to contiune on my own in the future. (You don't have to).
Better move on now, Sanicderpy
I hate to see a user leave our community, but in the end it is your decision to do so... A few things I would like to point out, one of the main things being is that this isn't the only place for tutorials on how to rip sprites/techniques for creating them. I think your main issue was not knowing how to pin-point specifics on your question, because they seem very generalized. I think if you change the way you ask your questions, you will yield better responses, because asking how to make "custom / edits", for me at least, isn't enough detail, ya see what I'm trying to say? Especially on how to rip things, because that's also very game dependent as well. There are several places for different types of information. I think you just need to gear your questions more specifically. Also, the forums are not as active as our Discord is, which is why you may not always get a response. I encourage you to join, our Discord is here:

Whatever you decide, good luck in your future endeavors, and you're always welcome back should you choose to leave.
Best,
Pingu!
