Thanks. (;
Since like 843543215 people are now spriting random stuff, why not make it a contest? People get a deadline to submit their entries and then the community may vote for the ones they'd prefer. Including the current sprites of course.
That way, there would be fair competition, nobody could be hating in the end because even if somebody does not like the chosen sprites, there's still the poll as reference to prove the community's approval.
All this seems a bit backhandedly. :|
