Quiting Spriting
No more "I don't have time." excuses.
I do have time, but mentally I'd rather do something I enjoy. I want to get on PC without thinking "I should be spriting for someone right now..."
Sorry for failing before I even started! Abnegation. xD I was excited, but then I sorta hit reality.
HoF, I already warned you that I didn't think I could even do my job nor have responsibility of a team during my senior year but you still persisted that I just wait until I had time.
Even if I have the time I don't have the drive to do it, so it's about time I stop wasting your time and go find yourself a new Head Spriter. Or just bump Des up, he's a good kid.
But still a kid, remember that.
I realized that just wandering around PC is stress revealing but I've always had the commitment of a job, and I don't want to take a 'hiatus'. I haven't felt like spriting at all, because there are different mediums I use to express myself that I could actually use in my portfolio for SCAD and other Art Colleges as well.
Plain and simple, I just don't want to anymore. It's selfish, but it's the truth. I just can't figure out why I keep getting into these situations in the first place...

Well I plan to go into Interactive Design and Game Design if I get into SCAD, so once I get my full courses in art I'll come back and try to apply all those skills instead of just playing blindly.
Maybe you'll see my pixel art in the form of a game. :)
(If 2D games haven't died out yet.)
We've spoke a little, haven't we Sublime? xD
Clarifying, hehe. I do plan to come back to spriting, but right now I stand to gain more artistic knowledge by my sketchbook and paints, and I enjoy it much more. Forcing myself to do something I don't want won't help my creativity, but I do plan to do it again in the future.Posted October 21st, 2009 at 4:06 PM by Nina

I once VMed you (before I had a bit of respect with Pixel Art I think) saying I liked your name. I don't remember if I explained that I like it because I had just learned the science term Sublimation and Sublime was the verb of it.
I know once you said you liked my sprites, but I can't remember if we ever talked about anything specific. I tend to stalk people and I feel like I know them more than they think I do, so I guess I felt like we've talked before.

:/ It's not directly related to you HoF. I never said that anyone put pressure on me, I put that in my own mind. KNOWING that I had something to do it was made me feel guilty for not doing it.
I don't need to be reminded like a child that I have a task to feel the need to do it. Why are you sighing?Posted October 22nd, 2009 at 2:46 PM by Nina

I see, I completely understand what you are saying...
Just incase you dont know, the main reason why you were assigned as a head spriter is that I thought you could help organize the Pkmn HOF's spriters team. We used to have a bunch of spriters(like 7 or 8 I forgot), and I learned from someone that artists work at a certain pattern that only artists themselves know what it is. You are an artist, a very good one, and I assumed spriters would work more efficiently after a head spriter like you were assigned. You were assigned as a leader, not a worker. XD
And I did believe your maturity and professionality would fit well with a team made of talent but lack of proper management. Spriting was actually your second job, and I seldom asked you to make sprites since you were assigned, especially when other spriters were doing what they were supposed to do.
I didnt realize I could still possibly add stress to you, and sorry again if I did. Good luck with your future project, and I know you will succeed.Posted October 23rd, 2009 at 8:45 PM by Hall Of Famer
