But I think your wrong. Let me see if I'm getting this right you assume that people make edits because they are lazy?
"its easy to run out of attention and simply let a "fuck this shit" out of your guts and take the shortest shortcut posible."
But I believe it's because they don't know how to make customs yet. That or they are not sure how to properly approach it. Where to start and how.
When someone edits a sprite they're looking at a real sprite, taking it apart, finding out what fits and what doesn't.
See I think you assume I consider those "half-assed" edits real work. I don't.
I consider them experiments. They have no place here, but I believe it is healthy for everyone to start there and work up.
On another note: look at my Deviantart account. See my avatar, that shitty animated gif I was too lazy to change? See that running animation? Yup those are an edit of Sonic legs. See that scarf? That's an edit from... well I forgot, its been a while. But you see I didn't know how to make legs run right. I tried really hard by myself simulating that motion and it never animated right, but after editing Sonic's legs I got a better understanding of how to make proper leg movement myself. It's not as good of a learning experience just to try to copy something, editing those legs was like training wheels and it helped me greatly.
