So you want to submit resources to SDB? Great! We're nothing without good contributors. Just make sure you read this first.

• No stolen materials
  • What does this mean? The term "stolen materials" refers to sprite, background, or music rips that you didn't rip yourself, or custom sprites and backgrounds that you didn't make. Posing as someone else to submit their work also falls under this category--as ridiculous as it sounds, this has happened!
    
    
• Submissions are only accepted through the forums!
  • For a long time I accepted email submissions, but the vast majority of them were either obviously stolen, or of poor quality. Requiring submission posts to be made on the forums will expose potential submissions to a wider audience before they go on the site, reducing the likelihood of stolen material getting through and allowing contributors to get advice from more people. Everybody wins!
    
    
• All submissions must be at the proper resolution
  • Basically, this means any sprites or backgrounds you submit have to be at their normal size; I get a lot of submissions where the sprites are blown up to double their proper size. That's no good.
    
    
• Use proper file formats
  • All submissions should be properly saved in the correct file format. Only the following formats are accepted.
    • Sprite sheets: .gif or .png - There's no excuse to send me .bmp's. If you do I'll probably convert them, but please don't.
    • Backgrounds: .gif or .png - No zip or rar files please. I used to take them but I only want individuals from now, on regardless how numerous they are.
    • Sounds: .wav, .mp3, .wma, .zip, or .rar - Use your judgement here. If you record music in some other strange format I might take it, I might convert it, or I might ignore it. And if you're submitting a lot of sounds or music from the same game all at once, put them in a zip or rar file.
  
  
• Aim for completion
  • You can't always get every single frame when ripping sprites, but you should try to get as much as possible. Sheets that are obviously half-assed probably won't get on the site.
    
    
• Don't submit pixel art
  • Really, don't. I'm sure your dithering skills are just out of this world but this is a site for sprites.

Got all that? You can submit your sprites via our forums, Spriter's Block. There's a sub-forum just for making submissions, so get on in there. Just make a thread "My submissions" or whatever and you're done. I will not take submissions by email any more, so if you've got something to submit please don't email it to me.
