Picture Wars: Spriting towards the Heavens
Picture Wars is a spriting community that creates small-scaled sprites using primarily humble MS-paint for use in various turn-based forum games. It takes many forms, featuring ground-shaking battles, heroic quests, unimaginable acts of bravery and deep despair.
In a basic PW-game, the various players take turns, taking action with their characters, by editing the existing game picture. The most important thing to remember is that PW is in no means a competition. It's more of a sandbox format, a means of telling a story in pixelated ways.
It's also an ideal way to express ideas in spriting itself. Basically everything imaginable can be a PW-army, the possibilities are endless.
Some examples:
Made by Mirokan
Warhammer Skinks
Team Fortress 2
Uruk-Hai
Made by Sirroelivan
Bug Aliens
A Mario-styled army
Made by Squidbot (a.k.a. The_Squid)
Infantry from different armies
Made by Lizzrd
Nilecroc Pirates
Mushkins
Made by various
Vehicles from different armies
Various Spaceships
If you want to have a glance of what PW now actually is, I suggest you have a look at this recently started match.
The Picture Wars community forums can be found here.

Re: Picture Wars: Spriting towards the Heavens
Yeah it's a known problem. You see, most of us use Filesmelt to upload their images, but Filesmelt has been having some problems and lots of downtime lately, so any reasonably old images won't show up properly most of the time.
