4) Sprite sheets are welcome.
5) Everyone only gets one entry in each categories.
6) Image formats may play a factor into the overall judging of an entry depending on the quality of the image itself.

Yes.

If I sprited a pumpkin, would it be Halloween-themed enough?
Even if it was uncarved?

**Dylan** · 10-14-2006, 01:52 PM

No; pumpkins are also used in Thanksgiving. Jack-o-lanterns are fine, though.

For clarity, Halloween themes include, ghosts, monsters, zombies, vampires, etc. They also include movie monsters such as Freddy Kruger, Jason Voorhees, etc. Spooky backgrounds and settings are also acceptable. Candy is fine as long as you have a trick-or-treater to go with it (That is, keep the candy in the bag. I don't really care how well you can sprite a gumball.).

Link CDLVI · 10-20-2006, 06:21 PM

Lol,pretty good! I don't know if it's just me,but something seems wrong with luigi...oh well.Another thing, The smile with the toad dressed like a mummy looks like part of his costume. Pretty good overall.

Irby · 10-21-2006, 12:08 PM

Good one!

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS · 10-21-2006, 03:19 PM

Here's my entry.

*Hides from the horror*

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS · 10-21-2006, 09:20 PM

I was going to misspell everything, but that's even more horrible.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 10-21-2006, 09:27 PM

I think the "lol this iz a sprit3 comec" thing is really unrealistic. I've seen that, even though my first comic was abysmal to the degree that it would be illegal, (due to the Geneva convention) it only had 1-2 grammar/spelling errors per page. Seems more realistic spelled this way.
Horror is difficult to evoke from the audience without suspension of disbelief.

REDJ · 10-24-2006, 09:43 AM

I drew a comic, although I might redo it (if comics can be more that 1 page)
HOWEVER, if I cannot scan this comic you guys will have to deal with seeing a jay-resop style stick people for a few characters unless I can find a sprite version of inferno, and nightmare.

Vapor · 10-29-2006, 03:00 PM

A spritesheet I made for one of my battlefield characters. Not exactly made for halloween, but halloween-themed enough.

He's a scarecrow, by the way.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 11-01-2006, 12:57 AM

Here is my last-minute, rushed, poorly done entry in the sprite category.
It's a vampire pumpkin, which a few countries believe in. Not joking.

Sweet just enough time to finish comic.

Edit:

Done!

MC Luigi · 11-01-2006, 07:52 PM

^heh. Well, here's mine. Pretty good, and I'm not one to compliment myself.

**Dylan** · 11-02-2006, 03:14 AM

Winners will be announced soon. Stay tuned, kids. Until then, the contest is over. Thanks for playing.

-Dylan

P.S. I know it's after 11:59 CDT, get off my case.

REDJ · 11-02-2006, 12:04 PM

Due to technical diffuculties I was unable to get my comic hosted (stupid imageshack... kept going to a 'page cannot be displayed' when the internet is working perfectly fine).

[Whoops, forgot to lock. -Dylan]
