The truth about my spriting ambition

To tell you the truth, guys, i wanted to be an MVC sprite artist when i was age of 7, to sprite the characters from the old games like arcades such as AVP and the others that i never played before or played it. When that happened, i tried to sprite characters such as Predator Warrior from AVP arcade in MVC style, but it ended up horribly, as my spriting skills are wonky and horrible for me. I tried many other characters to sprite them in MVC style, but it did the same thing, as i had to try to improve my skills, thus also ended up being horribly as well, and that was the ambition that i gave up on to be an MVC sprite artist. It didn't motivate me to become spriter, and i lack spriting skills, cause i can't find time to do it.  And i tell you now, people: you may think i am arrogant or i say myself that i am arrogant, but i am not, cause it didn't work for me. As of today, i had moved to other things to do about Mugen; collecting the characters and stages.

The only time that i'll rip the sprites is Lt. Linn Kurosawa from AVP arcade, as i'm attempting to make a full sheets for her. And i hope, one day, when someone decides to convert her into MVC sprite style once i finished her full sheets, i will be ok with that.

Hope you'll understand the thing i have told you about, people.

I understand your situation, but may I suggest, never give up on what you want, always give it another try. Spriting is never always have a good result sometimes it end up bad some times good. I to are having trial and error on this, but in the end it has some good result. Never give up on it Kanodoom

Some Crom guy said it to me from IMT:

Not to change your mind or anything but if does may serve as some inspiration. I started 4 years ago and did my first sprite...to me it looked horrible. My bro Demonkai just kept pushing me to keep trying. Got with manic, nestor and li kun and studied tuts, watched Frankenspriting with Spidermew and just kept practicing as I even started projects. I still tell myself everyday I can do better even if folks like what I sprited. It takes time, and most important...patience and practice. I am still a noob. lol. Spriting is a beautiful thing and I also always think if a hobo like me can lewrn it and keep on learning to get better and finally complete my dream stuff then anyone with talent or without can def do it too. Time is always the key factor no matter what tho.

To my perspective however, i really don't even know what to say. No point of arguing right there.

   What if I told you .........
the original capcom sprites were hand-drawn ? ever consider a career in art,(and or) animation?..its just a thought though don't take it as advice or an offer   
think about it they used sheets and sheets of paper the way film studios do at an even more fixed size then incorporated it into games like strider ect.
so take the matter for what it is and if it doesn't interest you don't force yourself into it  
mugen is for fun

Look man, spriting isn´t that hard, you just have to use your imagination and have fun while doing it  

Electro said it to me that i would team up with somebody who has the knowledge of spriting, and to me, that fits the bill. However, going on it's own is very difficult and frustrating. I'm not saying i hate it, but that is very time consuming, and i don't know how long i would have to work on it, even slower. Perhaps, if more help is on the way to boost the work fast, then it would be really good, but again, i don't know what should i do. Perhaps if i decide to be an MVC sprite artist again, i'm definitely willing to do so, but as of now, my time is running out, as i have a job starting in 1st September on Monday.
