I'm goncas. I make sprites as a hobby, especially related to two main domains: Sonic and Pokémon.

I've started spriting around 2008 and got more passionate about it with time. Since then I got involved in some really interesting projects.

I started my first project alone: a Sonic Generations fan game. I ended up losing most of my work when my computer broke and because I was young and innocent, and was not aware that data should be backed up. This incident got me really down, but I met Marvin Valentin and joined him as the main spriter of his Sonic Generations fan game. The years went by and with real life taking control we both realized it was no longer viable to keep working on that project.

During the times I was most active as a spriter, I met a lot of talented people and was able to help most of them on their projects even with tiny little details. You'll see some of my sprites in many, many Sonic fan games out there, like Sonic Project Survival or Sonic Black Ace.

Of all the people I met, I became great friends with Nefault1st/Nekko/Kainoso, probably the most talented and hardworking person I know. We made a short game together, called Knuckles' Halloween Tale. His main project, Sonic vs Darkness is one of the most well known Sonic fan games out there. It's pretty much a one man show, as there is nothing Nekko doesn't excel in, but whenever I can, I try to help him out as much as possible.

Nowadays I don't upload all that much, as most of my time is dedicated to my master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering, so I only work on sprites a few minutes at a time, when I need a break from everything.
