Exclamation A sad day in the spriting world:

I've just been informed that Webster Swenson, better known as N-finity, webmaster of the Shyguy Kingdom, passed away recently of a diabetic coma.

Though I never really knew N-finity, his website was a major influence on spriting not just for me, but for many others as well.

RIP, N-finity.

-Dylan

Wow... wasn't expecting that. Another one of those tragic deaths of our time... I wonder what will happen to The ShyGuy Kingdom? Do they have mods?

Damn. Everyone's dying lately.
I've used tsgk countless times. He was a great member of the spriting community. I didn't know much about him, but this is just shocking.

That's a shame, but you must die eventually.

Sad, sad. I remember when I was a comic-maker, that and the Spriter's Rescource were where I got my sprites. I can only feel guilty about how I desecrated those sprites in my god-awful comics. Man.

RIP, N-finity.

^ Either him or LVK, or maybe even SmithyGCN. All of those would have sucked.
