Wow! A ranting thread, my dream come true. BTW, get shelter, my ranting hurricane will blow some of you away.
Okay, I have a few things to rant about.
Rant #1: the sprites these days
I cant stand the fact that all spriters make these days are Pokemon recolors, fusions, chaos and once in a long while, a custom sprite. It's so annoying and anyone could do it within about five minutes. (at least I can) there's no challenge, no art, it's boring and it's so redundant. Besides it completely takes the limelight from the spritetowns that are actually decent and inspiring. There is one exception. The only one I find who's art is good enough to satisfy myself temporarily is that spriter Artic Wish (I think) but other than that, bleecchhh
Rant #2: where are the Pokemon trainer drawing tutorials on the internet?
I've looked everywhere, from floor to ceiling, from A to Z and I cant find ANYTHING about tutorials on how to draw someone like Misty, Jessie or even Pikachu. I only found a crappy one of Ash. It stinks! It stinks. And plus I really want to learn about this stuff too. I recently found all these drawings of the Houen people. But noooo, my computer crashs when I save them on, right before I have time to save them as files on my pc, I eventually gain back my favorites but now they're in alphabetical order and I have like a thousand so it would take months getting through the mess.
Besides Pokemon's art style is a little too unique. If someone could find me an art tutorial on how to draw ANY of the trainers or even some Pokemon, please sooth my anger and feel free to post a link.
3rd rant: It's always May, Misty, Jasmine and Flannery
They're stealing the spotlight on all the other cool, hot girls like Duplica, Sabrina, Winona and Casey. Oh did I mention Clair and Liza? Well, it's so annoying to hear everyday that "oh oh oh, May's sooo liek t0tally teh hawtness" or Misty is teh sexay bishoujo. It's basically all I hear but it's mostly May. I mean come on! THere are about a thousand other hot female characters (like Clair and Liza) that these fanboys and girls could pray on. It's liek so darn annoying and headsplitting.
My final rant: AdvanceShipping, PokeShipping, ContestShipping and HouenShipping
We know! We know! Ash and (insert name of popular character here) are liek so meant to be. It's been done and we have the point through. I mean come on, be more like Phantom Bugsy with the originality and the imagination or at least more open-minded like Ketsuban. I mean we have NeoShipping, PalletShipping, DRAGGIRLSHIPPING, May and Richie shipping, Clair and Ash shipping, and even FunShipping (Misty and Cassidy)
I mean if you're going to support a ship, why not be creative and give a new character the limelight.
Sorry anyone who I offended. I tried not to insult anyone in particular and I may edit this post if I like a new discovery like a good spriter in the desert of chaos.
And dont take this harsh, rabid shippers, I'm actually a quiet: PokeShipper, halfAdvanceShipper and HouenShipper. Dont go posting all mean things about what I feel. It's MY opinion, not the facts.
