The Ultimate Sonic 1 Sheet

[bennascar]

These sheet seems shady, My source said he gave you permission to use his sprite but didn't know it was for this sprite sheet. Also there's cinnosu who I doubt given you permission to put that on the sheet. In fact I doubt you asked for permission to even share any of these sprites.

Also missing someone? Those extended Sonic 1 walking frames looks very familar...
oh right:


You straight up stole the extended Sonic 1 walking frames from Sonic Next Level by Markey Jester without even crediting him.

Also the extended running frames are from next level:


The thing about the frames from Next Level is that Markey Jester never released the sprites in a sheet so someone had to have stolen the sprites from Next Level. I'm guessing one of the credits on the sheet actually stole the sprites and said they were his/her's.

The Sonic 3 poses are from Sonic 3 Complete an unofficial compilation od Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3 complete, AKA S3&K and you can patch in the sonic 1 sprites.

If this is correct, you didn't even credit anyone from Sonic 3 Complete.

So for those wanting to use the sheet I recommend not since there is some super shady things going on here.

I'd like to be proven wrong but there is just too much evidence pointing to this sheet having stolen art.

I should also mention that it's not ok to make a sprite sheet compilation without asking for permission CLEARLY first from everyone you want to include. They could say no for multiple reasons since even though it's "free to use" it's not "free to share".

Spoiler

Well, crap. I'm sorry I forgot to put Markey and the Sonic 3 Complete team on the sheet for credit. I will make sure to update it as soon as possible so there won't be anymore controversy. As for Cinnoso is that the extra sprites for mini sonic that were made by him are part of a VERY old collection of sprites that were archived on a page of the SFGHQ's sprite section, and they WERE free to use. http://pc0.hapisan.com/sfghq/sprites/sonic/sonico.htm As for MarkeyJesters sprites, I got them off a sheet with other sprites just compiled together, and the sheet itself didn't credit markey, so I guess it's not entirely my fault, but I can still see the big problem.  I would love this sheet to be used, and I don't want it to seem like something shady is going on, because this is meant to be a sheet that everyone can use.
