Plus the guy is Japanese( I think, his website is Japanese.), assuming he doesn't know much English then I doubt he would even find it ever.
That is not a good attitude to have. Many Japanese artists stop sharing their work because people from other countries take that attitude. Heck, my favorite spriter that made all the Kaduki sprites for the RPG Maker battle system of the same name stopped and took down his entire web site for this exact reason.
If an artist or a game developer requests that you not repost their stuff, then you don't repost their stuff, period.
Okay I won't. But my online ethics are always questionable. Actually all my ethics are questionable... Not because I was asked, but because I'd rather not get into trouble in any form. I already have them all so I don't need anyone to rip them. So if I want to make sprite art from in it animal crossing then I am going to. It's practically the only reason I even use the spriter's resource. I had to rip the whole undertale set of sprites just to draw them in animal crossing because Toby Fox asked people to wait a year. Let me repeat that I WILL NOT post them to the spriter's resource. It's still a shame that it will take a lot of jumping through hoops to look for the sprites because nobody is allowed to host it. Sorry if I made you mad.......
