The reasons behind this are 1)This is when it popped into my head. 2)There are a lot of projects going on and most sprites are already involved in them the various degrees. 3)October 31st it my wedding day and I'll be indisposed on Halloween and the following week I'll be at Epcot Center for my honeymoon at the Food and Wine Festival.*

that is the idea! great shit always comes from these contests... i'll get started on ideas for mine now

You can use any sprite you want as a base as long as they are Halloween-ized. ^_^

I'm signing up too, I have even something prepared, just gotta do another frame ^_^

I can help judge this one.

Done!!

I think i could judge (if possible)

Done!!

Since I still suck at spriting and therefore am not participating in the actual contest, I wouldn't mind judging.

I already have an idea, how many can I submit, by the way?

Done!!
