Whoa! Watch the flames people. Using a base is good to learn to draw better, but just don't take the image and change one pixel. I used Yoshi's Island as a base and look what I did with the foreground (yes, it isn't a sprite, but this is to clearly make a point).
See? Using the same texturing pattern as YI, I made that tileset. It isn't a rip as you can clearly see. So, when making a sprite, basing it off of another game is good as long as it is just based, not completly ripped.
And please, if someone sees a rip, say what game it is from so everyone can clearly see they are rips. Makes things a whole lot easier and also makes sure nobody is accusing someone of rips if it isn't a rip.
I need to make another sprite. Something creative and such... |

I don't know what games they are from. I'm basing my statement on past examples of his "custom" work that was in actuality rips. |

So if they are clearly rips, can you clearly state where they come from?
@Anyone or everyone: There is no use submiting Rips, so if your Sprite is not somewhat original, then don't submit it (using an existing Sprite as a guide to make your own is ok, because you are still drawing a Sprite from Scratch, or at least revising it if nothing else,... therefore it is not the same,... though if it ends up looking almost identical, then don't expect it to win).
If someone thinks that there is a rip, provide some evidence before accusing someone of submiting a Rip.

Where are they ripped from if that's your conclusion joker?
Not colorful? More colorful than yours Krapos Autistic, get your facts straight!
   
If that's how you all feel, forget it... I need not to throw my pearls before swine.

Whoa! I was'nt saying that they "sucked", I'm just suggesting that you TRY making something from scratch! Is it a crime to say that? 
Now look what you did, you broke rule #5... |

So I take inspiration from other works. That just means I'm more productive than people who limit themselves. Yeah, the small raven is more or less a rip, but really, how can you criticize the Boos for being the same as ANYTHING? Only one frame is taken from YI, the rest is all improvised or of my own design. We all get inspiration from other works, and base things off of other things. There's no shame in it, and until you can make something that is not inspired by anything you've ever seen, I'll simply continue to take your opinion exactly as seriously as I do now. Plus, your sprites mostly have Japanese-sounding names, which is not flawed if you're Japanese, but you're not and so you seem like a poser. And posers suck. Also, your sprites look completely out of place with one another, aren't very colorful, and are lame in general. |

Try showing more creativity if you want to get praised for it, make something we have'nt seen or something you made without the aid of another game. Otherwise, it's just another rip. Whether you used a "guide" or not you're copying and that's not what it's about... |

lol, I think it's because of the they way the hands turned out. I noticed that since Mario RPG, most the Boo Ghosts in later released games use somewhat of the same style. So maybe because I've seen it like that a lot in other games, I naturaly saw an image in my head that looks similar to that. |

I like those ravens. Yup, that's all I really got to add to this topic. |

If rips were allowed I would so totally post my koopa replacement, Mario. See the shell is his head and the koopa is his body and all the different colors are Mario, Luigi, Fire Mario, and Fire Luigi... This is just for one level but meh it's fairly kickass.
To save this post from being spam I present my second and third entries... Raven and Giant Raven. They replace goomba and mega mole. Notice that giant raven has different colors. Palette thing. Think of it as a nice touch. These are modelled after those in Yoshi's Island though due to size differences they are not the same.

Once I figure out Mega Mole's palette conflict, I'll release the hack with these new characters in it. It may not have the fanciest ASM code, but you will find the graphics to compescate for it. |

Uhm, to be acurate, only the Piranha was based off of SMRPG. The Ghost Sprite and Mario were both something that came completely out of my head.
I meant the plants... nothing else.
A replacement of the mole. Best used with KATW's sky tileset.

I've created a palette arrangement for each. I know for a fact that you can really use up to 13 of 16 colours in a single palette, save the black, white, and transparent.
Rest assured cpu, there will be no problems concerning palettes once I release the GFX. Otherwise, I would'nt be placing them in my hack.
