It does annoy me to see a bltant recolor being shoved in our faces as a re/devamp.

no, you normally take away the previous sprite, stripping it to the outline, then add a base colour and shade from there
That's still a recolor, now an EDIT thats when you change the anatomy, add on parts, etc.

No, true Revamping is called 'frankensteining'. It's reducing the sprite to the bare bones and literlly putting every pixel back anew.

Of course not,If revamps were recolors,then people would have BIG problems shading,or even making any decent sprites,even if its stupid triangles.So TRUE revamps are NOT recolors.

Act is right, I believe. ^^ If you simply recolor an older sprite with newer colors, that is a recolor. However, if you completely erase all shading, and re-shade with newer/older colors, then it's considered a revamp/devamp.

Jarman: I think your idea of revamps/devamps is a little off. :\ That mindset is what Act was talking about in his earlier post. [People trying to pass off recolors as revamps/devamps]

Every forum should ban recolors,never knew that though,but good rule.But as Fuzz said,re-shading an old sprite is a revamp,not recoloring.

I think I would dance a little jig if PC ever banned recolors. That would solve a big piece of the puzzle I will never understand: recolors and fusions getting more attention than quality scratch sprites.

I admit i make fusions,but i still prefer making customs,its much better.I think i would also dance if PC banned recolors.It would help make people improve,by having them resorting to other things.

I wouldnt say 5,but it wouldnt be big either.Due to stupid calculations i made,only 1.79% of the PC members can do custom sprites.
