Spritefan2



Derek, also known as his youtube username, spritefan2, is a famous sprite flash animator. He's well known for various things, such as his series, Mapling Times. He's also known for hosting the BannedStory Collab on his channel, and also his Paul Ter Voode videos. He may be one of the first flash animators on youtube, as he made Mapling Times 1 without Bannedstory. He joined youtube on August 24 2006, saying that he wanted to watch "the adult videos".

First Videos
Spritefan2 had recorded himself playing Maplestory, although it isn't in his channel anymore, being deleted.

Mapling Times
Currently there are 5 episodes of Mapling Times.

Paul Ter Voode Tribute
Derek seemed to have a deep interest in Paul Ter Voodes work, more specifically on his Luigi Collab entry of Luigi lip-syncing Harder Better Faster Stronger by Daft Punk. Derek made his own version, but instead of Luigi, he put his character lip-syncing it.

Break
Derek had went on hiatus since his parents didn't allow him to go on, and he was unavailable for about 3-6 month. Derek had sneaked on once, just updating that the Bannedstory Collab, which wasn't uploaded back then, was going to be uploaded by Goldentotproductions if he didn't come back soon enough.

Quiting but coming back later
Spritefan2 had quit a while ago, at first not explaining anything, but later, he says why he left. He said that a couple of students from his school was going to reveal his youtube to everyone, and that people would've made fun of him for animating with flash. He removes most of his videos except for the Paul Ter Voode Tribute and BannedStory Collab. Funkiemunkay, another youtube user, claimed that she knew what was happening to Derek before he explained everything. He, however, did come back, but at a low profile, making another account called SF2Brigade (which is now closed). Derek also explains that his computer became reformatted, losing all his files. He is now back on, and has yet another account called DerekStepmania.

Influence to MapleTV and BSBackgrounds
Derek joined both forums. For MapleTV, he is competing in a event. And on BSBackgrounds, he shows impressive animations of his.
