my Sprite toughts/ and other stuff

Posted by Emanhattan - August 9th, 2008


Hey. hows it going everybody umm.
Im here at my house... watching vids on Ng. I entered school past monday.
Well I simply wanted to make this post to explain people some weird stuff related to me that happened recently on this site I wIll present it as a FAQ.

First of all:

IS IT TRUE YOU HAVE A HENTAI OF YOUR OWN?

yes. YEs. stop PMing me about it >: (

here is a link. The people involved are very talented, so naturally im really offended. there will be a sequel. I hope this time they type my username correctly and win another "worse of the week" trophy.

WHERE DID ALL YOUR SPRITE A DAYS GO

as most of you noticed I am no longer co-authored in the past sprite a day episodes I once was part of. And I even have one less trophy now.
The reason for this is because I decided to remove meatwadsprite from my contacts permanently. I knew that by doing this, I would lose my connection with the sprite a day series and the trophys that I won with it. I simply removed my co-author with them because I realized that the series was just a pile of rubbish. When I started spriting, I didnt want to produce that sort of "quality-forgotten" animations, I didnt know all the other guys were producing all the "BSBSBSB great job" shit and... well... you know what I mean.

To all the ex-members of sprite a day: I recomend you to do the same. simply REJECT those dirty trophyes. Its hard, but you will feel better with yourself at the end. Leave those dirty, undeserved trophyes to meatwadsprite and yoshi77777777777777777777777

DIDNT YOU SAY YOU WANTED TO QUIT SPRITES BEFORE?

I did once. as a matter of fact. after skittles n dickz I made a post about it.
I think I sorta acted like a hypocrite joining sprite a day : (
However, I already had 2 invitations to sprite collabs long before Snd came out. The SPRITE TV 3 collab, and the animax team one. Now I MADE stuff for the TV one but I already had some couple of clips in my computer, and I decided to send them into the animax team collab 1.
wich takes me to the next important matter

DID YOU LEAVE ANIMAX TEAM?

yes. That team was pretty disorganized and most members had absolutelly no "vision" or aesthetic sense. sorry guys. I believe its better to just rip off the band-aid right away.

ARE YOU MAKING OTHER Non-sprite STUFF?

good you asked! : 3 well I am currently making 3 non-sprite shorts. its nice trying new stuff. but I have to say Im sorta in the "animator limbo" as Oney here would say. After showing my stuff to some of my friends I decided I should make a compilation with some of them. But Im really uninsprited nao.... I cant make any flash now really. no sprite, not normal. no satire. Im really uninspired. it sucks : (

if you feel like watching a REALLY SHORT clip of mine thats spriteless check out the animax collab again, (there are sprite shorts by me too, but they are not that good).

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SPRITE ANIMATION?

this is a point I want to touch with delicacy. I know how the common artists of newgrounds see sprite animations. And I have to say this.
The flashes that I have done until this day, I made them for FUN, and because I wanted to put some of my Retarded videogame jokes into the internet. But I perfectly Understand the discrepancy between the Ng members. I knew from the beginning that sprites had no real artistic value, because the graphics part is covered. I understand that. Also, I didnt know the sprite buisness was to overrun when I started... I sorta tought I was one of the few who wanted to do that.
But my mind has been troubled lately about this, mainly because of all the damage sprite a day caused to the "decent" sprite animators, (please dont be so mean with me, let me explain myself a bit and then have your way with me)
I mean...SPRITE A DAY proved that THE SPRITE, dirty and efortless... beated down the poor, hard working artist to death.
What Im trying to say is this..... if you are making a sprite movie....

A) make it for fun, not for trophies and views, AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT VOTE 0 ON EVERYBODY ELSE, LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE IF YOU SUCK OR NOT >: 8 this goes for most of the ex-sprite a day members.

B)DONT STEAL SOUNDS FROM AUSTIN POWERS AND FAMILY GUY N SHIT.

C) Please... AT LEAST be sure your quality is somewhat good. ask someone BETTER to help you.

D) Making sprite movies is cool. IF YOU ARE LEARING FLASH, but I believe you will always ask yourself for more, and you cant stick to sprites forever if you want to be respected amongst the rest of the Ng users and artists.

E) ANIMATED GIFS ARE FOR LOSERS

F) and the most important one, Dont be an ass... HOLE, if someone tells you in a review that you basically suck or whatever, but like... sugar coating, being decent and stuff , dont go isulting him/her because he didnt like your movie, Let peope speak their minds. Accept constructive criticism. OH, i think I owe an apology to SaltyPeach, I once insulted him for making this, and I still feel bad for doing so. If youre there man, please accept this idiots apology.... friends? < : )

and now, a final point I want to sort out.

WILL YOU MAKE A SPRITE COLLAB WITH ME : 3 ?

STFU NO0B. from now on, Im only making sprite collabs with who I consider,are the "decent" sprite animators around.... I dont want to go sprite a day over again.

No, seriosuly, please dont invite me to sprite collabs.

OH MY GOD WATCH THIS

Well said.

To be westing housed

The shoe is now on the other foot.

Heeey! you changed your username! I like it! : D

Bravo! I agreed in everything you said about sprites... I just hope you don't have the bad luck of starting wars like I did in my last frontpage post :(

However I wish you luck in your hand drawn movies, and I have something to tell you. When I finish my next flash I will take a vacation of making movies and I will take actionscript tutorials, I want to learn how to make flash games. Since sprite movies aren't well accepted, I think sprite games wouldn't be so rejected. But I"m not making a shitty rip off of super mario bros flash or something similar.

And I will try to make my own sprites or edit them (for example, changing the duck from duck hunt into a pigeon XD).

For now, kudos on you on expressing your thoughts :D

BTW I'm still on vacations :p

thats great! good luck : D

i say you have a wine and cheese party...that or write another post like that to keep me busy for another few minutes :3

i could barley get past the second sentance.

wat /

lmao no, i quit SAD because it WAS sad. all sprites are unoriginal. or at least make your own. oh uh and i love your gay porno -.-

lmao me too

i want to do a Bible Adventures sprite collab.

??????????

I agree with you with the sprite thing.

Usally people just make a good movie to get an award, or something.
What happens when they don't get an award? They Bitch.

B is alright if it's a Pheonix Wright-type-thingy.

lol yes

A) make it for fun, not for trophies and views, AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT VOTE 0 ON EVERYBODY ELSE, LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE IF YOU SUCK OR NOT >: 8 this goes for most of the ex-sprite a day members.

lmao when you were in those collabs, did people MSN and AIM you other Newgrounds submissions saying to vote 0?

yes. and I have to say with shame sometimes I did.
but after that, I grew up a bit. and will never do it again.
pinky promise

bible adventures:

I was gonna do a sprite movie off this but gave up

damn thats the most boring-ass game Ive ever seen.

it reminds me of how much the NES games sucked

Another Fat Guy? How about something origonal, Even Sprite A Day wasent as bad as that

He is the replacement of the other fat guy, he needed more hair.

Im asuming you are being sarcastic.

IS JECTCARTOONMKR ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE NEGROUNDS ARTISTS AND A FIRST CLASS SON OF A BITCH?

Indeed, he is :P

have my babies

lo importante we es ke te sientas orgulloso de tu trabajo como tu dijiste, la verdad yo subi disturbing toad al "ahi se va" y no tenia ni idea de ke hoy seria un dia perfectopara un daily.

la neta se siente padre ganar awards pero hago flashes por simple pasatiempo y porque me late.

muchisima suerte con tu proximo flash! lo mas importante es que te sientas orgulloso y ke le hayas puesto webos :D!

jaja. bueno no le meti tampoco muchos huevos hehe.

digamos que fue solo un test para usar mi tableta jaja. pero si es genial moverme a cosas mas grandes.

gracias por el comentario, lo tomare en cuenta ; )

a la madre, pinche ojo de aguila que tienes, yo no habia notado que se miraba el white canvas en al escena 2. Ps como esta a 30 fps es muy dificil notarlo.

Ya lo corregi y se esta cargando el flash en lo que estoy escribiendo esto.

gracias :)

jejeje. bueno mejor ahora que nunca.

LULZ!!!1 be in mah collab!!!1

ok totally kidding haha
i do enjoy making sprites, not really to show off my movies, but mainly just to have fun and vent out my creativity, i love taking advantage of mario from a sprite and making him do whatever i want muahaahah!

but yeh on a serious note dude, whatever ur decision is i fully support you and i 100% got ur back, your drawings are good and detailed and thats already half the battle done to success
good luck man!

; )

My review of your "toughts" (sorry, couldn't resist):

"ARE YOU MAKING OTHER Non-sprite STUFF?

good you asked!"

I didn't ask...
And I know, you've been telling everyone on the Sprite TV 3 thread for weeks =P
(Still looks quite good though)

"E) ANIMATED GIFS ARE FOR LOSERS"

Don't say that! =(
My first pieces of work were animated GIFs for Windows Live Messenger. Without them, I may not have been able to steal other people's sprites and get them in a good collab!
By the way, since the preloader I made allows people to create their own sprites, is it better or worse than using sprites by huge companies?

Oh, and for other people reading (I'm pretty sure emanhattan knows)...
The above comments by me may make it seem like I dislike sprite animations. Honestly, I don't. In fact, I occasionally love them.

Oh, and Obama-Roll is awesome. Nice find.

well thanks doom for your comments. glad you understand my points. well I meant using GIFS in animations. I mean.... when somebody wants to harass me for being a sprite animator they often use the "you use gifs" phrase. I dont like to be cathegorized like that.

besides, a gif doesnt give you a nice smoothness I believe.

oh and the preloader is sweet. Of course creating your own sprites n movie is nice : 3 I think my favorite sprite is my party boy one.

youre a cool nigga. keep up

Cool Youtube vid but.. That Fat gut is Ulgy sorry :(

well I wasnt gonna draw it all hot....

"ANIMATED GIFS ARE FOR LOSERS"

FINALLY, SOMONE SAYS I, THANK YOU
