Why? There's no good reason for it to be there. Things like sprite edits are meant to go here, and if it's a bad one, we'll harshly critique it. I mean, aside from the fact that it's only a recolor and not really an edit.

Let me make an analogy for you.

Let's say that shit paintings - the art of slinging shit against a canvas - was started today by one guy. Someone notices and goes "Oh, that seems like a neato way of expressing ones self. I think I'll try it." However, this fad eventually becomes popular overnight, and while there may be the few who have the art of shit sling down to a T, the majority of people are using the wrong textured shit, or are just doing the same thing as everyone else. Eventually, because of the majority of the shit paintings being the same thing over and over, people start to despise shit paintings, and the real artists - the ones who actually bring shit paintings to a whole new level - are ashamed.

Sprite recolors/edits aare the same way.While edits can be cool, recolors were only nice the first few times. After that, they turned into plain, boring shit.

More or less.

I gave you a perfectly good analogy. You're trying to claim that a tired-out way of modifying sprites is acceptable.

You know what? I want you to post it at this forum. When you do, tell me. I want to see the heartwarming responses you get from a true spriting community.

On your very first post, you advertise? Well, I appreciate your effort, though. A great place is needed for sprite edits, and your place could be it. Like I said to Onyx, another place to show this to is this forum I am linking to! They'll surely appreciate your efforts. However, here is not the place. I'm sorry

What you should do is draw the tail going down. However, a way you could do it is draw it going from behind the wing down behind what he's perched on. That should work fine.

Slay: Start arguing semantics and I will have this locked in a second. You know damn well what he meant when he said 'idiot'.

I believe what he was trying to say in a rather exaggerated sense was that the best tactical decision to make at the time was to use the bomb, regardless of what the varying opinions at the time were stating.

That said, his assertion was based on fact, and you should stay on topic. MacArthur was, after all, considered a little lax in the brains department... Long on dash, short on neurotransmitters. Like most heroes.


Not to mention the fact that MacArthur disobeying orders was what got him kicked out of office. But that's another topic for another time. However, yes, the bomb was really the least-risk tactic for our troops, and at the time that's all that mattered. During war, the goal is to have the most people left alive, and that was the best option.

Especially when a surrender was offered.


Straight from this bio of Hirohito:

"After the loss of Okinawa Hirohito called on his ministers to seek a negotiated end to the conflict. However, his government refused, claiming that Japan and Germany could still win the war."

Even though Hirohito wanted to surrender, the government didn't want to. No surrender was actually brought about before the bombing. Afterwards, Hirohito finally managed to get everyone to surrender, and unconditionally as well.
