**IMPORTANT!! DO NOT FAV WITHOUT READING!!**
News have been heard that Deviant Art is now removing Sonic Spriting. Some people's sheet's have been removed from their gallery, you could be next. Maybe you already have some of your sprite's removed.
Thing is, if the sprites in your gallery aren't 100% your own work, meaning that you used an existing sprite ripped from a Sonic game to base your sprite work on, then DeviantArt has every right to take your sprites down, since they violate SEGA and Sonic Team's copyrights. It's right there in the DeviantArt terms and conditions on what kind of stuff they allow you to upload and display here.
And why on earth are people complaining about not being able to draw, when they don't even make their own sprites from scratch like real sprite artists do? Can you really call that your passion when you're not even dedicated enough to learn how to make your own sprites? You're basically in the same league with people who take official Sonic artwork and color over it to create their OC. Cheap. Don't compare yourself to hard-working artists and then attempt to excuse your laziness.
And if you want people to think that SEGA honestly doesn't care what people do with the sprites from their games (even though the license/copyright info embedded in the games says otherwise), then provide a source to any statement or announcement they made that says so, don't just expect people to take your word for it.
