Considering what passes off as 'art' nowadays, why not? I appreciate good sprite work, some things can't be done in 3D.

>>3769720
By its definition, yeah.

>>3770453
Of course they can be done in 3D.

They just can't be done well.

What the fuck is that stance, god dammit, people don't stand like this

N64 era sprites were victims of 3D fad. They tried to make things as ambiguous as possible as for players to judge whether or not it was polygon or sprites. I can't say I'm a fan of that era sprites, especially for the Ogre Battle ones, but they did have their unique look.

I would argue that it takes a surprising amount of skill to make something minimal in terms of space but also recognizable as what it's supposed to represent, so yes, I would say that sprites are art.

>>3770580
fucking owned that loser lmao

>>3769720
Anything can be art if someone can look at it and think, "Wow, that's fuckin neat"

The sprite animations in Xenogears were so bad

When I see dumb stuff like picture made out of menstrual blood are concidered art, everything can be art.

MMX4 had great sprite work. X6 is a below for me.

>picture made out of menstrual blood
It's not art, it's just trying to shock and get attention. Art is literally something composed, not just some random bullshit splashed together.

That's the point he was making. Stuff like that and UH-OH SPAGHETTI-O'S have literally given those women exposure, press and careers even.
