@AustinJeong: Not sure what tools Denzi uses. It really is good stuff, though, right? He usually responds to posts on his old diary page. Drop him a line. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer questions: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Denzi/comment
@Capbros: Sure! I still have more to post from Denzi, I'm just trying to space it out still. :) It was indeed a task, but I spent the whole time saying "wow! these are amazing." as I sifted through it all. Good times.
Nope. CC-BY or CC-BY-SA is fine, but, like mdwh said, you'll have to give proper attribution:

No idea if it's related or not, but try downloading the smaller .7z file I just added. I don't know if you have 7zip, but even if you don't it should tell us if it's cutting out at the 10MB mark or something.
"...when you have stuff ready to re-submit, any thoughts on trickling it out, maybe throttling it to one submission every couple of days or so?..."
Yeah, I don't really like when other new submissions get buried. I think "trickling" submissions may occur naturally, anyway; As I get each category organized, I'll submit that, but it'll take me some time to get the next one up. I'll be sure to space them out intentionally if that isn't the case though.
@dannorder: I dunno, man. I think there is such a thing as orphaned works. If the artist is dead, their artwork (child) is, by definition, orphaned. I don't think the suggestion is to disregard the license or their wishes just because the artist is dead. I thought the discussion was about looking at the license, but also asking for permission anyway just to be extra sure. If the artist is dead, we still adhere to the terms of the license they released it under before they died, but we can't do that extra step of asking their permission "just in case".
EDIT: I guess we're saying the same thing on this, because I actually agree with everything you just said. :)
"Someone is looking through those to see if we want to go back to those original art sources for permission. A lot of those submissions have issues for various reasons."
I knew several of nikita's submissions were questionable, but now that I am going through them in an attempt to get solid permission, I am finding a lot of the ones I thought were ok are riddled with commercial rips or other content the artists didn't intend to be shared risk-free. Nikita's list of viable submissions is smaller than I thought.
Fortunately I got the go-ahead from one artist so far. However, the first artist happens to be DENZI. his set is freaking huge, so organizing the artwork and uploading it is becoming quite a task. Also, it looks like Nikita wasn't really paying attention to what licenses DENZI was specifying. DENZI has some stuff that's CC0, some that's CC-BY-SA, and other stuff under a proprietary license not compatible with OGA. I am only working with the CC0 and CC-BY-SA stuff.
A little off topic, but I am thinking about making several submissions for DENZI's stuff, categorising each submission by style, like "16x16 oblique projection", "32x32 orthogonal view", "64x64 isometric", stuff like that. Then putting all stuff with DENZI's work in it into a DENZI collection. Whadda think?
yep.
Those are jpeg preview images. Also, jpegs aren't lossless.
The third preview image is a gif because it's animated.

I think newra was having a similar problem on an unrelated download: http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/unable-to-download-large-files

Unable to duplicate problem opening archive. What error are you seeing?
Ah. I see. In that case I think the only disagreement is about semantics regarding the word "orphan". I agree with what you're saying.
