I disagree completely. Smurfing is never something you want to do. If you're honestly repentant, you should be able to salvage this reputation. In real life, you can't just start a new account if the police arrest you for doing something. You have to deal with the consequences, because they are the result of your actions. Perhaps some of us won't notice your different account for a while. But eventually a mod will be looking at IPs and find out that you have more than one account. They can generally tell that very easily. And then you will be ridiculed and we will always be looking to see if the next noob that pops up isn't just another of your accounts. You can't gain respect or advance in pixel art if you don't have the discipline to stay with a single identity, for Chrissake. So stick around and see what happens. I can't say I believe that it's right to even copy others' work pixel by pixel, and most members agree; if what you submit is not your own original work, don't submit it. And don't try to pass it off as your own. Remember that in the future, apologize here, and you should be on the way to forgiveness/acceptance/etc.
