Hello everyone. Who could have guessed? I'm applying to the sprite team! :D So first I'll start with the story of why I joined Maplemation and how I started making pixel art (you can skip to the sprites if you think its too long or boring which it probably is) Spoiler: Who are you? Why did you join? First of all, I'm Talal, also known as Mr.Bk. 14 days from today it will be a whole year since I became a member, and to me it was an amazing year because I learned to make pixel art within it Why did I start making pixel art? I wanted to make a game. yes.. the reason is kinda stupid in a way.. specially that I had no knowledge in programming and that kind of stuff, so I just started with making pixel art. at first it was more like a secondary thing, but then I got really attached to it and threw away the idea of making a game just to focus on my pixel art skill. Who told you about Maplemation? and why did you join? Well..to be honest it was by luck, I was just browsing some stuff on Youtube and by coincidence I found one of Aquila's animations, I clicked on the video and it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, I thought in my mind "how can someone make such great animations like this? and who are these people?" so I searched some more and found about the Maplemation's site, when I saw that there is a "Sprites" section I joined immediately Spoiler: Why do you want to join the Sprite team? While looking through the Maplemation site, I found about the teams system, I looked into the sprites team and I was impressed by how awesome the team members are and I told my self "I'll be good enough to join the sprite team" so I challenged my self to improve my skill as fast as possible and join the sprite team within a year. so wanting to join the team had a huge impact on how motivated I am. but to be honest I got busy with some stuff and I completely forgot about it and lost interest , so the main reason I want to join now is because it was suggested to me, But still.. it may be a good reason for me to become more active again. and here I'll post some of my sprites (some are old and some are new) with descriptions : Spoiler: Sprite #1 Spoiler: Description#1 My first MBRQ ( and the only one :P ) the time I made this is when I felt that I have started to improve Spoiler: Sprite#2 Spoiler: Description#2 my gift to Ethan. Spoiler: Sprite#3 Spoiler: Description#3 my first commissioned work. I never imagined that one day someone would pay me to make sprites for them, and i was really exited because it was my first time :P Spoiler: Sprite#4 Spoiler: Description#4 nothing to say really, just a random character I made while bored Spoiler: Sprite#5 Spoiler: Description#5 Crash Bandicoot and I'll finish it with this Spoiler: Sprite#6
Ye. Yeye. Your sprites are enjoyable and that Secret Santa was straight up amazing. I remember talking to you briefly way before in MM and I recall you being pretty chill~
