They’re basically mutually exclusive in this community unless you show that you can pay in mad exposure instead of money or just get insanely lucky (which means making a promising hack or having a really good reputation or the like).
I’m not judging you for putting out what you want, especially since people that want to try to prove themselves in the community as a spriter may have much to benefit from helping you, but I feel I should put this statement out there as a precedent before other people that want free portraits get the idea that they can expect anything from making threads like this.
The thing is that I have this one FE6 hack you see… In there he is a Wyvern Knight (+30% Crit Bonus). Evidently I want him to look as intimidating as possible due to his new class.
