I've been a spriter for almost ten years now, and I think my passion for spriting, and most art in GENERAL, is really taking a toll. Perhaps it's just the internet getting to me, communities everywhere I've tried being either filled with biggoted idiots who try to assimilate their art style into one's own, or rookies with wasted talent coming out with works of horrible, bandwagon-hopping current trends and current popular things.
