I'm sure it will teach me valuable lessons. ;_; Doesn't mean I'll enjoy those lessons. (Haha, okay I'm not dreading TOO much, but still.)

I've got the one friend I think I need for the rest of my life, so I think I'm good! <3 I need to get better at making and talking to casual friends though, I can't follow her around like a little chick everywhere and it annoys me when I feel so lonely.

The problem about online communities is that people only comment sometimes. If you really do hunger for good critique you might have to approach those you wish to give it personally. If you're like me you'll worry about being a bother. xD;
Now, if you really want some hard critique, the kind that will eat you alive, I suggest you go to Pixelation.
Only if you want your pixel art to not be a hobby because really, a lot of these people are professional and they will be harsh.

Even though it would be good if we gave direction to the young pixel artists here, your life is always more important. If you can't give it the time it needs, don't feel bad. I should feel bad because I do have a lot of free time right now and I don't really comment or critique at all.

I dread the day when I have a job, but I'm going to need one so I better be prepared to surrender my large amounts of free time. Even if my parents pay for my college I still need money to live and buy art supplies and I'm not asking them to buy me that stuff while they're already working on their own debt and loan money for me and my sister.

If you just keep updating they are bound to stay alive. It's just that most people give up by now or want to start a new thread. I like to start anew when I leave for a time.

I think...That's just a normal part of life. I HATED it when I was 12-13 and my friend from Britain was going to college and was on so much less. My friend from Canada who is my same age, but started earlier I now talk to much less because she also has college and other duties. It's around this time you realize your life and future is more important than your online activity, even if that means not talking to some good friends and such. Just like for those that want to go out of state or a different college than their peers have to see that their future is more important than going to a college not good for you because you want to stay with some buddies that you might not ever talk to again after you get out of college as well.
In 10th grade when me and my best friend went to different high schools for career reasons I had to see that, and I didn't expect to go to the same college as her, but strangely it's alright. It probably because I know we'll be best friends anyways, but it's something that we have to see. (It turns out if I get accepted to SCAD we're going to be together, but that's not the point!) We're going to grow and sometimes it takes a toll on this entertaining sites like PC.

I personally want to stay here even when I'm in college as I already have a low profile here and it doesn't take much time, but those so thoroughly invested sometimes have to cut it off completely to get real work done.
So, new kiddie will come and maybe some will be great. I do wish one of us old cronies here would try to reign them in and mold their talents, but that's just what I always want to do with every child that shows an interest in an art form.
But, teaching is really trying on the teacher because some will give up or react badly and even though YOU know their potential and what 'they could be' they just might not see it and they can just throw it all away.

ANYWAYS. We can either just let the little new ones take our place as they are supposed to or try and guide them in the way of how we think things should be done. Which is what I would like to do, but I'm not really assertive and I don't think I'm good at critiquing, which is the only thing we can really do. You will never really be able to carry a good conversation like you can with those at your own maturity level, and only a few of those kids might be able to do that.

I'M BABBLING. At least I'm not the only one who feels so old in the world of spriting. I was pretty much the Head Spriter of HOF's group because I was the only one who could keep a cap on my emotions, i.e, oldest. I'm pretty sure the oldest under me was 14 or so.

Nope, I live in Arkansas, so it's a 7-10 hour trip for me if I go. (It's a 12 hour trip for SCAD!) There are no art colleges in Arkansas, the closest is Memphis (MCA), but it's not the one I want to go to.

<3 My GPA isn't spectacular as it is, but I don't plan on slipping soon. Because my previous school is odd I took my last year of English last year, so I only really have 1 core class, which is Transition To College Math which is EASY!~
I just have to work on my three(fourish) art classes, which are not easy like some people think they are. <3 But I'm doing extremely well and really I've just wanted to do more and more recently!
Your preaching is good! If I had kept my gpa up in previous years my teacher could have recommended me for a special and big scholarship to SCAD, but I didn't meet the gpa or act requirements...

Thank you for your congrats!
What have you been up to?

Yup really liked the sprites. I just need them so they fit in the standard 4x4 array so they can be used like event. I don't know how size can work though, so it would be hard to see exactly how to work it. I want it to work so it has the standard box around it (when you go to select it as an event piece) so the player can "drive." If you can get back to me, and if you'd like I could name probably hundreds of cars that would keep you busy.

Sorry for missing the last vm, I´m in Portugal at the moment ahahahah

thanks a lot man, that really meant a lot coming from you. And in response to your previous VM, i am considering spriting a bit more again ahahahaha

hows things for you? good I hope

It's going good, I've been accepted to KCAI with a $15,000 art scholarship and I'm waiting to hear from my first choice of SCAD. Now I'm just finishing up my senior year even though I still have lots of stuff to do!
I've been checking PC every day but not really commenting out in the forums(stalking, yes) and look at the blogs. I've done one or two sprites recently. :>

I got a question for you - are you interested in having your cars in a game? I'm currently doing a Poke'mon game for the RPG Maker XP engine (Ruby) and would love to be able to use your cars as vehicles so players can also drive around. It would be a little funny semi-entertaining minigame. I am unable to make car sprites of my own, so if you could get back to me that would be great. Thanks for any reply. :D

i quit

Hey could you make me a 1979 Camaro SS with green color, and a white 1979 Camaro SS?

OHAI! You have such great spriting talent, I especially like the Ford Mustang that you made!

I am glad to see that you are still around. The season starts soon and I remembered that this was here.

I like your profile. XD

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

lol Yeah. I had been wanting to make one for a while but was too lazy and I didn't have much to put up.

Ha ha No worries, shouldn't be too hard to make it into a sugi, like I said I'll fufill Mono's request first then yours.

Oh yeah sorry about that, it totally slipped my mind. I've been doing great, Winter breaks coming up this Friday and Carbon should be coming back in full swing in about a month.

^u^ You're quite welcome! Ugh, same here, I have little red spots all over my fingers, that bird of mine has one sharp beak!

lol I wouldn't mind. I've been finding myself drawing more and more ever since I made a DA account. It will have to wait until I fufill another request that I promised to Mono though, He wanted me to make a Hero Concept.

For me It takes about 2 hours. I do the Line art by hand then color it all in.

That's cute, it's nice that you guys let them roam freely...I take mine out as much as I can, we've got to make sure the dogs are locked up though.


Mine is a normal grey, and his name is Pretty Boy :3 he loves to hiss and bite like an angry kitty, and he doesn't look very intimidating but he's bitten my fingers pretty hard. He doesn't like to be touched by hands, so getting him in and out of the cage is quite a task, but he likes my face and can be very affectionate when perched on my shoulder.

Aw, rest in peace, Cody ;< He sounds like he was a very friendly bird. *is viewing your album* Lovely pictures! Spike is just darling with his squiggly little hairs, Angel has beeeautiful feathers. And that tail of hers is exquisite! Your sprites of Cody are very good, I love the Christmas one with is little hat! I hope you make more :D

- My Camry is a year 2000, by the way.

Omg, I'm not alone. xD Mine is all by himself, pacing back and forth in his feces-decorated cage all day long, so I thought I understood his madness but maybe it's a species thing. What are their names?

You have little cockatiels too, how precious. :3 I'm assuming yours are very friendly, mine is a little hateful and I think deranged.
