BOOHOO I HAVE TO SPEND A WHOLE MINUTE REMOVING THE BACKGROUND FROM THE SPRITE SHEET TO PUT IT IN MY GAME, OH WOE IS ME! *my impersonation of you people*

Why are you being so incredibly immature? Are you really too stuck up to discuss what may be a flaw in your sheet without putting other people down?
People are just trying to help you better organize your sheet and you're being very rude.

And no one is whining about having to remove the background. We don't have to use your sprites. But making the sheet smaller and easier to use is just a way to increase the chances of people using your sprites, which I'm sure is the purpose of making them.

Because people are complaining to much about something that Isn't even that much of a problem. Sure, I could use some criticism every now and then, but I'd prefer it in moderation, and not have a million comments criticizing the same thing on my sheet.

If you don't want me to call you a kid, I suggest you stop acting like one. Apparently, Zack and I are the only adults here. Also, I'm 20.

You're making about as much sense as the other whiny children in this thread. How is it any harder to use the sheet as it is now, as opposed to if the sheet didn't have backgrounds? It takes just seconds to remove the backgrounds yourselves, but apparently, that's too much work for any of you. Besides, the only reason Zack (or any member, for that matter) submits work is so people have an option to use said work should they need it. It's not about how many people use it.

I am not going to say this again: Zack is free to make his sheets however he pleases. Constructive criticism is about critiquing the sprites themselves. Immature nitpicking is about b****ing and moaning about the smaller, less-important aspects of the sheet, without even touching the parts that actually matter. What you are all doing is immature nitpicking, and it needs to end now.

you seriously need to stop and realize that if multiple people are suggesting you fix something, MULTIPLE TIMES, that MAYBE there might actually be something wrong. to you, it's not that important, but realize how tedious it is to go back in and out of a sheet to extract the sprites. it's really annoying and really boring. by adding all that extra nonsense in for no reason other than "uniqueness" all it does is make the sheet less usable. you're NOT making art here- you're making art ASSETS to be used for a GAME, and the easier it is to use them in said potential game, the better. you and somari are acting like children for insulting others because they're trying to offer you criticism. you should stop being such a baby about it.

you want me to critique the sprites themselves? alright, they're adequate. they're not good but not bad either. i've seen stuff like this so many times (hell i've done it myself multiple times in the past) and this doesn't stick out over the others. like i said before, the SMB1 sprites are way too blobby because all you did was recolor and edit the other sprites to "fit" the style because you think that's all you needed to do. obviously, it isn't. SMB1's style makes sure you can see the proper positioning of all of mario's limbs while they're in movement, despite the lack of an outline. editing a sprite WITH an outline to one WITHOUT is a lot more difficult than it sounds and sorry to say but you failed in that aspect.

the SMB2 sprites are decent, but mario's limbs are weird because of how short they are. same to SMB3, to an extent. moving on...

the world sprites have the exact same issues the SMB2 and 3 sprites except now mario's head is very odd. there's too much distance between his eye and his sideburn which makes his head look strangely bare when it shouldn't be. his hat is also shaped poorly. the p-balloon sprites are pretty weird. mario shouldn't really have a.... bulge like that.

in general mario is very lanky and strange, and in the world sprites especially his head looks almost partially inflated, so it comes off very strange looking. if you fix all these issues then you'll definitely have better sprites. but if you keep doing what you're doing with sheet layout then there's a decent chance people still won't use them. just some food for thought.

The point isn't that we don't wanna remove the backgrounds, of course it's easy to do that, anyone could do it, but the point is that it's generally frowned upon to have useless or wasted space on a sheet in general. Why not break the habit now so that next time it's just the sprites? Removing the backgrounds is easy, yeah, but they shouldn't be there to begin with.

You do realize all submitted work has to be viewed by staff members before they can appear publicly, correct? If these backgrounds are considered "wasted space", then why did the staff accept not only this sheet, but a lot of other sheets of Zack's as well, which also have "unnecessary backgrounds"? If Zack had left loads upon loads of white space, I could understand where you're coming from. And these backgrounds aren't just to make the sheet more unique; they are there to show how the sprites would look with their respective backgrounds (how the SMB1 sprites would look with SMB1 backgrounds, etc.)

and when will the SMB1 sprites be used on the main color of the GROUND blocks? and this doesn't hold very much water considering zack himself said it was to be "unique".

Even if Zack didn't say it himself, I think it's safe to assume that was another reason why he made the sheet that way.

just because staff accepted it doesn't mean it's good, it just fits the submission guidelines. stop trying to make loopholes.

and you probably shouldn't speak for zack, either. we're not talking about a work of art, we're talking about a sprite sheet.

no, you're promoting him turning it into some work of art. he's acting like taking the background out actually hinders the sheet. it doesn't.

the fact that this is STILL going on just blows my mind, honestly. it's a f***ing sprite sheet, there's no reason to put extra effort into something that's NOT the sprites. just make the sprites themselves good and the sheet well organized and usable and you're fine. it's sheeting 101, i have absolutely no god*** clue how in the year two-thousand-and-fifteen people STILL don't get it. if you're gonna keep on running this into the ground, i'm not. i've said everything i care to say here.

First of all, if the staff sees that you've dropped an F bomb, they will not take it lightly. Mild language is allowed, but this site is meant to be kid-friendly.

Second, I don't see how I'm promoting Zack for turning the sheet into a work of art. All I said was that the backgrounds really aren't that big a deal, and you and several other people are trying to turn them into the biggest deal ever. And Zack is saying the same thing; nobody's saying removing the background would hinder the sheet.

Third, the only reason this is still going is because you and several others continue to argue about it. You're absolutely right, it is a sprite sheet, and if Zack wants to add backgrounds, whether or not they're necessary, I don't see why he can't add them. It's his work, he's free to make it however he likes. And it's not like the backgrounds take that much effort, either; they were probably made in seconds. All the sprites combined probably took hours.

Fourth, this sheet IS well-organized and usable, backgrounds or no backgrounds. Stop saying it's not; the backgrounds really do not make that much difference, as I mentioned earlier in this post.

Oh yeah I suggested that he stop being rude to those who are clearly trying to help him. I'm such an immature idiot.

Really, can people stop insulting each other? Can we not discuss this without being rude to one another? I even said that I liked his sprites, but I just found the background to be something that makes it a little harder to use, and it's unnecessary. So that's why I think it would be better if in the future he doesn't do that... -_-

If he wants to add backgrounds to his sheets, he's allowed to! They literally have zero effect on the sheet as a whole! If you don't like the backgrounds, tough! Get over it! We get that it's unnecessary; does that also mean it's illegal? No! So stop making such a damn fuss over it and move on!

And yes, I do understand the concept for sarcasm but considering that AwesomeZack has been irrational, I find it safe to say that he doesn't understand my points because he isn't able to distinguish friend from foe as a consequence of said irrationality when to comes to criticism being levied at his sprites...which he took it too personal.

Irrational? Excuse me, YOU are the one who has been acting irrational to your detractors. You aren't your creations, and you shouldn't have gotten all tense and defensive against people who have actually have made valid points, even though I don't condone the method of approach on both sides.

I was actually being completely rational at first, well technically I was just being silly at first, but people started making WAY too much complaints about the same thing. Repeating what has already been said isn't a "valid point", it's just ridiculous.

Hey AwesomeZack, I used this and your Luigi sheet and gave the updated SMB1 Sprites modern color! They use the NES palette (Nestopia's YUV consumer palette to be exact) but don't follow the 3-color rule, so it's not really NES styled, but who cares? Anyway, here they are!
