***SPRITE CONTEST THINGY*** Winner to appear in a Mysteries Comic! - VGF

**Sean P Kelly** · 01-31-2005, 11:38 PM

I really liked the "Winner appears in NC" contest in October, so I thought to hold a similar contest for Mysteries.

The rules are the same as the last contest. Just in case you forgot:

Under no circumstances are straight-out recolors accepted.
Editing must be done at regular, 1x size at all times. Resizing it up to 200 or 300 percent and drawing on it is a disqualification. (you can, of course, zoom in to edit it. However, you can not resize the image to edit it.)
Put effort into your edits, for the love of pixel. Drawing a hat on somebody without any form of shading or deep-down editing is not acceptable.
LvK may not enter.
The sprite base must be as big as or larger than Megaman Zero style Zero.

OTHER THAN THAT THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER. HAVE FUN CREATING THE SPRITES.

Oh, before you start posting your sprites, I should give a warning about the prize:

Quote:

Please note that, I, Sean Kelly will use the winning Sprite in any way I seem fit (even if that means getting decapitated in a deathmatch

). Please submit at your own risk.

You may submit until March 15.

Now, let's see what you can come up with.

**Sean P Kelly** · 02-01-2005, 02:02 PM

^ No, just one entry per person (I can't see what made you think that)

The Protector of Goombas · 02-01-2005, 03:10 PM

Are the sprites posted in this topic?

**Sean P Kelly** · 02-01-2005, 03:18 PM

^ Yes, post away already!

thunt · 02-01-2005, 03:38 PM

If customs are allowed, here's one I made a while ago.

Everyone knows it's the Mystic Fish.

RMC · 02-01-2005, 04:47 PM

Here ya go!

If the Speakers are to big then I can modify them

**L007 is Undecided** · 02-01-2005, 06:30 PM

^ It has to be larger than Megaman Zero style Zero.

And I would like to assure everyone that Sean Kelly has NOT done a deathmatch in a long time, so being decapitated in a deathmatch is a no go. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Of course, there are the other Mysteries comics... **Flash of lightning**

**Sean P Kelly** · 02-01-2005, 06:43 PM

^ Oh, don't be so sure.

thunt · 02-07-2005, 08:37 PM

I sure hope people will submit soon, or I'll win by default.

**L007 is Undecided** · 02-07-2005, 10:40 PM

We still got most of the month, so chill.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 02-07-2005, 10:45 PM

Tis' be Gavin.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 02-08-2005, 07:12 PM

Are sprites from Non-nintendo systems allowed? Or characters? Say, like an edited sprite from Megaman X5 or something.

OK, I'm gonna say it now:
This contest needs more organisation.
What bittage? What style? How many poses? What!
Heh, I'll enter good 'ol stingornet, if it fits with what you need...

Mikhail Gorbachev · 02-12-2005, 06:15 PM

^You just nearly eliminated everyone else's chances of winning. Here is my shaded sprite sheet thing.

By the way, I forgot to mention that I'm only entering the big Mario and Luigi in the bottom right.

The point is, any bittage, any style, any amount of poses you want. The idea was a free-for-all spriting contest, nothing big and organized like BnG, mate. Maybe one day we'll be holding contests for female sprites, animals, mechs, or what-have-you, but for now we're sticking to the basic free-for-all.

Xanthous · 02-13-2005, 05:29 PM

This'll be CARP to judge...

ludwigvan · 02-13-2005, 06:01 PM

Actually, he's only going on quality for a minor contest with a small amount of entries and mostly subpar sprites for his comic.

Yyyeah, I don't think it's gonna be crap to judge.

Xanthous · 02-13-2005, 06:21 PM

Not crap, carp. K?
But, say, if somebody enters a masterpiece in 8-bit and another person posts a moaster piece in 16-bit, which do you choose? Even between different styles in the same bittage. But heh, I'm thinking a bit too deeply here. That problem will prolly not arise...

ludwigvan · 02-13-2005, 08:29 PM

Take a good, long, look around this forum, and tell me if you still think the problem of two masterpieces shall arrive. But I digress.
