I'm just posting this here as being open for discussion.
I've really been thinking about conjuring a "spriting school" or "pixel academy" program. I know, I know; I can't get enough of pixels. I just can't! After making that "encyclopedia" thread, I thought it wouldn't be too bad of an idea to think about following up on that.
But nonetheless, I've really been contemplating it. However, before I come up with a system I'd like to see what you guys think about the concept itself and/or mechanics relating to the concept.
This could also possibly branch out to other art forms as well. And since we all are aware that I cannot stick to one place for a very prolonged time period, I would make the system so that it would be clear, and if need-be then someone else could take over if they wanted to.
However, my main concern is that our pixel art community is just not developed enough yet. Therefore, this could turn out to be a fair success and attract a decent number of people, or just totally bomb.
If I were to make this, it could go one of many ways; I was thinking more of a system in which it works like an actual school: you start out as a certain rank / grade level (freshman, for example), and have certain prerequisites that you need to take in order to get to the next rank. Upon gaining this next rank, you would obtain access to more course types and the like. Additionally, there could be extra "filler" courses for each rank.
The type of system I'm thinking of also doesn't really revolve around recoloring, editing, different types of edits and the like. I was thinking more along the lines of starting anew: starting with something such as color theory and working up from there to more advanced pixel art techniques.
I'm sorry if this post isn't clear in certain spots. I had a really long day. Nonetheless, I would like to see what everyone thinks about it, good or bad. :>
