This is not an appropriate comment (especially for an admin). I do not tolerate profanity. I treat others with respect, and expect the same. I will no longer be using this forum, and will inform others of the less than friendly treatment by its staff.

oh please.  dont give me that "young man" bullshit.  i know people can vary their styles.  but when you have art with very little pixel art expertise, then you submit something like this, it just isnt believable.  i have been here long enough, and have seen enough rips, color reductions, styles, and so on to know when i am seeing something fishy.  thats why i was made an admin.

i will not rethink my stance until you can prove me wrong.

i never said it was plagerized.  if it was, you would have been banned already.  however it is very very obvious you did not pixel it by hand, and/or used a reference that you did not credit

This is not a color reduction. The image has been reduced in size, and the background color changed (this was a sprite I created for a game). If you are suggesting that the image is plagerized due to the "lack of quality" of my previously submitted work (as your post suggests), I would rethink that, as it is a serious charge.

After 20 years in the commercial art business, I can vary my styles, young man.

:)

find it hard to believe that you progressed this far after looking at your gallery.  the stray pixels show that this is a color reduction
