The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What do you get if you cross a bored wicked mind with MS Paint? Let's find out.
I took Ducky's sprites from LBT game on GameBoy Advance, edited them a bit, changed the pallette and ta-da!
I'm not sure if this sprite looks anything like Ruby, but that was my goal.

I see you have given her a slightly embarrassed expression?

Hello:
 I once heard that Ducky is hard to draw... I don't know how much that is true, but I liked how she turned in your image.

As extrovertive as Ducky is, I don't think she'd be embarrassed by being photographed :lol.

As bad as this may sound, she reminds me of a little kid that has to go to the bathroom :lol.  I think it's her pose.  I don't mean any offense, BTW.  It's still a cute picture :yes.

Ducky's an extrovert? Hm... :huh:
Come to think of it, she is. I just like introverts better. :)

I really liked the fanart. Did you sketch it on MS paint? If you did, you really have some talent at that. I've tried doing that a million times, but failed every time.:lol

And for the Ruby animation, it was extremely realistic. If you didn't tell us, I would have never guessed that it was originally Ducky. Nice job dude.

But I have one question. How did you get the pics from Gameboy onto your computer?

Why, sprites, dumped from the game's image, can be found on the Web. :)
