[FILLED]Spriter for hire, kind of...

Could I see how big the picture you want done is please?
Actually, it would be about as big as...
The area in this screenshot above the dialogue box. If that's too big, that's cool, but if not, hey! Let's rock this sucker! I don't have any example pics yet, because I'm currently in the process of drawing them.

In conclusion, I belong to School #1 and you seem to belong to School #2... Which is why we disagree. And thanks for giving me the opportunity to get all this off my chest, that felt good. 8)
Actually these two "schools" of yours are, to be bluntly honest, bullshit. I won't spend all day getting into it, but if you really feel that these are the two schools of thought for storytelling, then, I hate to sound harsh here, you have no idea what storytelling is.
You have to tell a story that you want to tell, but you also have to let the audience enjoy it. if you just tell a story "you" want to tell, only people like "you" are going to read it/watch it/whatever. You need to tell the story you want to tell, then sell it. Otherwise, why should the audience give a damn?! And, why should they continue to give a damn as it progresses?! No matter how you're telling your story, at the end of the day, you're supplying entertainment to an audience, and you have to allow the audience to enjoy the ride. If you can't do that, you might as well be writing self-insertion fanfiction.
And, of course, there's just plain bad choices one can make. Like making a character completely inconsequential to the audience's experience, yet having the narrative try to prop them up as if they actually meant anything.
Your "schools" are little more than the extremes of two sides; self-servingly pretentious, and pretentiously stiff.
Also, don't try to peg my way of thinking like that. It's insulting.

Ooo! Ooo! This might be perfect! It's a bit very different, but I'm desperate for someone that can pull this off...
Do you think you could take drawings, and sprite over them to look like in-game cutscenes? Basically, if I gave you artwork of this style:
Could you make it look like something along these lines:
Obviously, I don't want you to convert THAT particular picture, but if I sent you some smaller pics in the aspect ratio of the screenshot above, would you be able to make it look like a SNES cutscene?

Eh, differing opinions, I guess. Though I will clarify that I meant Greene eclipsed her as a general RPG villain. Again, I'm not referring to the game's canon for the most part, I'm speaking from a storytelling standpoint. Purely mathematical, I guess you could say.

Well, the fact is I didn't even know the subplot with her even existed on my first playthrough. I didn't even find out about the whole thing until I decided to play it again years later when I found out you actually could fight Teachy (though damn, was his location obscure and miss-able as hell...). It's not a good sign when an antagonist can be completely disregarded by the narrative, and nothing is lost. And when it was revealed it just felt like this:
Her evil plot played out outside the main narrative, and died outside the main narrative. Blargh. I should clarify that I'm not looking at this from a canon standpoint, but from a storytelling one.
Dissapointing, because TTHW was one of the few RM games out there that had a villain that didn't seem like some cliche'd warlock, evil emperor, or sealed-away evil spirit. Duke Greene was an actual character, whose character development actually managed to evolve him beyond his obvious strawman beginnings. With all that, he really ended up eclipsing the spoiler-ific evil lady puppetmaster...
Just my two pesos...

Spoilahs
Except in the "real" ending, her entire evil plot completely collapses after one character tells her "no." Oh, and she's dying. Soooo... Yeah, totally useless. At least Duke Greene temporarily became a god and fucked her plan all up for a time. Oh, yeah, and he's actually a threat and you fight him.
I mean, what kind of RPG villain's evil plan is foiled without any involvement from the protagonists, and is defeated off-screen by natural causes?! Really, you could've removed her completely from the plot, and nothing would change, save a few cutscenes.

Oh, and I gotta give props to Duke Greene for being the only RM game villain, thus far, I've respected on the same level as a pro RPG villain. Even though it's kinda obvious he was originally supposed to be a Strawman Political, he did evolve into a very credible villain. Although his roster of spells was nothing but cheesy shots at Republicans, though. But, not even that could keep him down. Just kinda made the fight with him semi-corny...
Ironically, though, that same game had one of the lamest RM villains in history:

That blue-haired chick who was the leader of the Govan. Damn, I can't even remember her name. Worst evil plot ever. Not only that, it was so inconsequential you could finish the game without ever knowing its existance...

The entire cast of Romancing Walker. Never will I forget their hilarious engrish and stock dating sim dialogue. Sessha find them much hilarious.
RMN Brawl Tourney
I'm up for it. I can't resist some multiplayer fighting game goodness, Brawl included. I do play the game quite a bit, too. I just need some more info on when and where.
What is your opinion on "Filler"

Cowboy Bebop: Spike teaches a (throw-away) guy a bit about fighting... who ends up getting shot because he's showing off.
That... wasn't filler. Or something that happened more than once. That was one episode, with one guy, as part of one plot.
