As some of you may remember, a while back I made a thread entitled "Sprite Showcase". It was a place where I'd occasionally post my artworks of combined sprites. However, I have come to the decision to ditch that thread in order to give way to this new one. As the title suggests, this is pretty much going to be the same thing except now YOU can post your creations on here along with mine!
Of course there are going to be some rules for this thread. After all, it would upset me to see it descend into chaos.
RulesNo SpamIf I see any spambot posts on here I'll expunge them faster than a tachyon.
Stay On-TopicWe all know that people tend to go off at a tangent sometimes, I do it all of the time. This is fine with me as long as you know when to stop. However, if you try to derail this thread and get it locked by going overboard then I'll have to expunge some of your posts as it is not fair to me, nor to the people how actually want to enjoy this thread. So please, try to keep it on track. Thank you.
CriticismIf you are going to criticise someone's work then please keep it constructive as there is no need to start a whole drama over it. If you see a fault then just point it out and don't be insulting about it either. We're all human here, we all make mistakes now and again.
In contrast with this...
If you are receiving criticism for your work, please be civil about it. Again, there is no need to cause a big fiasco here. Refrain from lashing out at them and react rationally even if they are being destructive. We all know what it's like to be criticised, however it's how we deal with that criticism which often makes the difference. Understand that by posting your artwork here on the forums, like with anywhere else on the Internet, you are opening yourself to criticism as well.
Copyright & PermissionClaiming artwork that is not yours is strictly forbidden and will NOT be tolerated! If you wish to collab with someone or edit their artwork/s, you MUST first have their permission to do so and also give credit to the original artist of that piece. This is pretty much Common Decency 101 so I expect this rule to be obeyed at all times.
What I Expect• Posts of Artwork
• No Spambots
• Constructive Criticism
• General Chat regarding the topic
• People to have fun and enjoy the thread
Alright... *rubs hands* now that that's out of the way shall we get started then?
First let's talk about the 'Contributors List'. Here is where people get featured for posting up their various artworks or even from collaborating with others. It can be either a sketch of an item or it could be something similar to what I do which is "Sprite Slicing". You can add stats to your items or point out certain quirks said item might have if you so wish to.
Contributors ListThis will be updated regularly.
Secondly, to get this thread up onto it's feet I've archived all of my previous artworks from the old Sprite Showcase thread and put them up on here.
I might try to remaster some of these in the future.
Special ThanksFluffeh/PoTaeToh for extracting some of the sprite sheets for me, this helped me out a lot! Now I don't have to go through the agony of trying to obtain every single item for screenshoting. Also, because these are on a transparent background my new artworks will be much more cleaner. ^v^
Oh and one last thing...
Have Fun!
