This is great

[Guy]

Goddamn, this is soul-crushingly excellent.

Fuck inspiring just the new generation, this has gotten me pumped too.

[Kosheh]

and also commission me. give me ur money

i'm actually thinking about it thanks shawn



but i morally can't commission you to sprite whatever you want
(ok technically i could, but where's the fun in that)

Spoiler

and i just read a thing on your tumblr
uhm shawn this is personal but

Spoiler

if you can't find a job, that doesn't mean you should give up searching
i applied for 29 jobs (yeah that's right - twenty-nine!! i was close to giving up many times) before I found my two jobs I'm currently working at, so don't give up!!

uh yeah feel free to heed that advice too, other posters

k0shi

Spoiler

its not so much that i gave up entirely, its just that i gave up on thinking im gonna get a job anytime soon and i need money now. so commissions were a must-do since i know i can make money from em. im up to 19 applications myself, and so far ive had 3 interviews and gotten nothing out of em and its really crushing :I

and tyvm 2 everyone else. glad ya like my sprites

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Yeah man, keep firing those applications. It's going to take some time, and the odds are against you, but you'll get there.

I really like your static work but not too fond of your animated stuff. I'm about to go to sleep so I'll come back later with an edit.

[Virtuaboy123]

As always, I like your art. The way you shade is neat; I'm still trying to get a good technique for that.

But seeing your work always makes me want to do better.

Spoiler

Tried your style.

I still shade in a top down manner though

Keep up the good work, and hope you find work.

[Shawn]

made these for fun



and these (+much more) for game/commission

also virtuaboy i like where thats headed. i'd do an edit/crit but i wanna see where you went with it first, if you decided to continue it.

[TomGuycott]

Mana sprites!? For a game!?

FFffffffffffff.

[Shawn]

shhhhhhh

they're "original" designs

[OSL]

Shiny Shawn, nice pixels , now hop into the van.

[AkumaTh]

These sprites look amazing! Even the animation looks nice and smooth.
