PYRODOOM'S PROFILE

author=Liberty
pyro: When you've been in the community for a while, or played a lot of the older RPGs (Rudra no Hiho, Golden Sun) you learn to know where to go for chips. Places like spritersresource.net and other rip compiling sites are great for finding rips to make into chipsets - and since most of the older RPGs used 16x16 tiles they're real easy to add to a chipset.

Also sites like oniromancie, rmtoolkit, rmrk and other RM sites are great for checking out premade chips.

As to getting so much in a shot? A lot of practice and an eye for details - which you get from practicing your 'art'. Also, playing games and seeing what works, experimenting and learning to balance 'white space' and stuff.

;.; I had edited some VXA chips especially for this event only to have Photoshop herpaderp on me just before I was about to save. Why?!

Ah, thank you. I use Charas, and for most of the so called custom sprites, a downloadable version of Charas Generator, speaking of which, I need to find a facecet generator and battleset generator to go along with it!

NO.1:How did you find such great tilesets?
NO.2:How did you guys fit so much on the screen while still having enough space for characters?

No, when I said that, I was talking about the Chuck Simmons hybrid clones, they would eventually go against us, work with the zombies, if not just plain out fail at their mission of destroying zombies.

Guys, it's obvious he's using a netbook. Even the newer ones have a 1024x600 max resolution.

I'M NOT USING A NETBOOK! HOW DO YOU THINK I CAN USE RPG MAKER 2K3/2K ON THIS THING!!!THEY FIT PERFECTLY, BUT XP/VX/ACE DOESN'T...sorry for the caps...but really...really?

I can't see what you're talking about as a trend

it runs rampant in other communities, idk about this one because i spend little time looking at the projects section. but among all the anime kids it's a "deviantart mindset" that makes them think everything they do is flawless and should be treated as such.

conversations like this are commonplace.

kid: posts a horrible sprite

a few posts follow up and tell him that it's excellent and he should do more without giving him any kind of legitimate feedback.

me: yeah your sprite is bad and here is why: blah blah. you can fix it by doing blah blah. good luck.

then inevitably a few more posts will follow up telling me that i am trolling and being rude and then the OP kid will claim that he's giving up spriting forever because he needs the support of the community.

Oh, and this is technically WAY off topic, but this post reminded me of stuff on youtube going on, except it's the other way around. You know Justin Bieber right? Well, people just hate him because they are either jealous of him being famous before them, think he's gay, or just plain out hate his music. But wherever I go, even if it ISN'T a Justin Bieber video, I see hate comments about Justin Bieber! And the fans are all fighting back telling them that they are stupid, or wrong, but they are doing it the wrong way, I just tell them it's not a Justin Bieber video, it starts a fight, I'm called gay or a troll, then we move on. Really, it is a bad way, but I'm just trying to prove a point, not tell them they're stupid for the way they think.
Meanwhile, back on topic, but relating to the same subject. What about people who are timed? Remember Fire Woman, I actually replied to the constructive criticism, but not in a good way, I asked questions like "What's wrong with this?", or "What's wrong about the quality of my pictures?", people were even telling me to fix the problems, in my mind that was the equivalent to ,"Redo this shit!", and I didn't have enough time with a week left to "redo this shit", so you see, time constraints an also be a reason, because if someone is telling you to fix something, and you don't have enough time, what's going to be your response?
