Hey all,

Recently, a couple of friends of mine in the Sun/Moon sprite project have been running into issues with having sprites properly creditted, and its been one of the most common questions I get in the comments here, so I figured I'd address it. 

For those interested, all of my sprites that are contained within this account are free to use as long as you credit both me as the artist, and, if in the description it links to the Sun/Moon Sprite Project, provide a link back to that as well, as it gives artists looking to help an avenue with which to do so. If you would be so kind as to link me your works when you're finished with it, that'd be greatly appreciated as well, as I always love to see my sprites being used for the betterment of the community. 

For those curious about the issues mentioned above, I'll link this post here as well, as it goes much more in depth with the issues than I can as a rushed college student. www.smogon.com/forums/threads/…

tl;dr: Dorkly on Youtube is using peoples Sun/Moon sprites without asking/obtaining the artists permission and are doing a shitty job creditting the artists, and Pokecommunity needs to improve their citation accuracy.

Have a great week folks, and dont let the pressure from finals get you down, ya'hear?

You'd think Dorkly would be better about this, being an offshot of Collegehumor and all. Its a damn shame to see this from them, they should know better as content creators themselves.
