The Ultimate Sonic 1 Sheet

well, they *aren't* complaining. they're just enforcing the rules of this community, which is part of their duty as members of it. we don't mean any harm as long as your willing to cooperate.

i'm with Dazz in that ripping from fan games/rom hacks is one of those grey areas of sprite-ripping - it is probably best to either contact the original creators and ask permission to rip/use their sprites (which you appear to be doing now, so good). these sorts of community projects are more precious to the producers than say, a budget production of a video game to be sent out to the game industry for profit.

I've already contacted Cinossu. He's cool with using the sprites. Others like Goku, and Sketch have also let me use they're sprites too. Someone named Joshthehedghog33 has also made a ultimate sonic 1 sheet, and is letting me use sprites from his to make it even better. As for ripping the sprites, many of these were taken of other sheets. I didn't really steal anything. How was I supposted to know that one of the sheets I was using contained sprites by Markey without his permission? Anyways though, planning on contacting him for permission to use his stuff. Also, MotorRoach suggested a way to identify who made what sprites, so I'm thinking about making a color coding system where each color that underlines a sprites corresponces with a creator of said sprite, so people know who to credit if this sheet is used. The colors would be underlines for the sprites also, so it wouldn't detract from the way it is organized.
