The site logs say you created the account about 5 days ago, but never actually activated the account via the activation email until just before this post. Is that incorrect?
Regardless, it looks like you were able to successfully submit new art. Thanks for sharing!
You do have to be logged in, though. Considering you only signed in to the site for the first time just 4 minutes before making this post, that might have hindered your ability to submit art before now.
@stove: no. You would only need to release any modifications to this song and any new songs you made that were adapted from this song, but the game itself is not a modification of the song, so it would not need to be "Shared alike"
I am inclided to believe Emcee when saying these were inspired by Megaman/Zero. That said, the side-by-side (above-below?) comparison that Theforshadower provided definitely rises to the level of "substantial similarity". It strikes me as remarkable that the one is not derived from the other. Legally speaking, in cases where such similarity exists, evidence must be shown that the earlier work was NOT referenced* when producing the later work. Failing that, would/could a "reasonable person" mistake one for the other, or say "Hey is that from Megaman?". I generally think of myself as a reasonable person and indeed I thought exactly that when I first saw this. That doesn't mean Emcee did derive these in actuality, but unless we can gain some additional insight into the process used to create these without referencing* Megaman sprites, I have to leave these flagged for now. Because reasonable people will assume the substantial similarity is due to derivation.
Emcee, any chance you have any WIP work that may shed some light on the process? Something that shows how you arrived that these results without the need for Megaman sprite references?
*Note that when I say "referenced", as I mentioned earlier in this thread, it does not require any literal copy/pasting of pixels nor even overlaying one with the other to provide proportion to be considered a "reference" and therefore derivative. Opening up the Capcom sprites and actively observing them and comparing features while creating the new sprites can still qualify as derivation.
@chaoticRelic: No need to ask. :) See FAQ entry #1
Oh, haha! Ok, cool. Thanks for sharing your art.

Account approval is unrelated to submitting art. What are you seeing when you click the "Submit Art" tab at the top of the site?
What are you saying is mandatory?
