This is the Graphic Arts Section. As the name implies, you can post any sort of graphic artwork - sprites, hand drawn, CGs, 3D art. There are only a few guidelines you'd have to follow when posting your works.
- If your work contains nudity, violence or related things, put a warning and link the image instead of actually posting it. Please keep the board work-safe.
- Recolors and palette swaps are NOT considered graphic artwork. Their presence is not tolerated.
taken from pixelation, all credit on compiling this list goes to the pixelation staff.

the tuts mirrors are missing

Could you add a complete sf3 or cvs2 style spriting tutorial, at least a decent one I mean explaining why is this and why is that, one even better than Tsugumo's.
Oh and here's Tsugumo's tutorial
So You Want To Be A Pixel Artist (http://petesqbsite.com/sections/tutorials/tuts/tsugumo/)
-
actually there should be a cvs sprite critique that is far better than any tutorial i have seen; but i have not been able to get a hold of it as the cd in which i ahd it backed up got lost.
-
Don't you remember the tut's name/author?
I'm really needing a tutorial on CVS2 style sprites.
-
it was in the old pixelation forum, now know as thewayofthepixel , i do not remember who was the original poster, but it was a commercial critique on the cvs game.

www.spriters-academy.org/
is our forum, trying to help sprite creations, and making tutorials (we have some tutos to translate and new ones coming)...
maybe not the best, but you can get ideas, critics, and support.
Also, we talk about mugen, WIPs, fullgames, etc.
HoPe all you sign in.

Allegro Sprite Editor's Link is not a href'd
Though one could just copy and paste it, it'll be nice for the url tag to be there.

some links are broken
-
Is there a program that can make animated GIFs with the speed of 60 FPS?
i tried unfreez, but it's not what i'm looking for.
-
To create an image with 60 frames per second, you need a source that moves at the same speed.
-
what do you mean by "source"? you mean what i'm going to animate?
i've made 16x16 images that i want to animate (to make a clock so i would know how to time normal moves and link them).
