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]
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.
