Submissions are Open!

[Petie]

Actually it might. See when we reject someone's custom sprites, we move their submission topic to the Spriting and Pixelart board. So a topic to fix their sprites is made whether they want it or not.

With this system they would get rejected... but might not ever bother posting their sprites on the forums to get them fixed and become a better spriter.

This is the only problem I see with this system. I don't think rips will have a problem, but I do see the potential of alienating new potential sprite artists.

This isn't a problem with the system, it's a problem with your hypothetical submitter. It's their choice not to post on the forum just as it would have been their choice to ignore the moved thread when things were done the old way.

I'm really not sure why everyone is so hung up on this. If you are already confident in your sheets, just upload them directly to the site. You can still post them in your own thread if you like to keep track of your submissions like that. If you're not, post on the forum first, ask for feedback, and then upload to the site. Nothing really changes here other than how your content actually makes it onto the site.
