Anyone interested in participating as a judge or donating a prize can PM me any time!! ^_^
woo exciting.
2 Frames? like front and back, or ?
Out of the 2 frames I think one of the specific frames should be required. the normal diagonal front facing direction.
Not the best sprite out there, but I don't think it's too bad for my forth one. It's a Christmas Tree!

Haha that is a good start.
interesting, i never would have thought of that, but it would make a pretty nice monster for winter maps

rofl
sweet, more ppl are participating this time
oh, haha, I just noticed how inconsistant the colors are between the two views
I'll probably make something else to enter into the contest XD
Zalge: That is a good idea, put keep working with it and make it a real snow monster, that would be so sweet.
there is no contest
Lydyn's tree is going to win
make me a judge. watch

I'll be a judge

I was hoping you'd submit that one, dude. ^_^
Is that one final or will you add to it?
damn, lots of entries
this will be epix0r

tis the season
Well now it's time for the next sprite attempt......(now to make a chocobo festive)
If I may be a judge again? Mercenaries has certainly improved since the last "release", with completely new classes, many new battles, and a few new NPC's (which the winner would be given a special beta battle release of a much later fight)

I may work on the shading of the front view to make him look like he has more of a belly, but it just so happens i'll be in NYC for the next 5 days so it'll be a little while. also, this is my first sprite i've worked on so my talent is quite limited.
i hope to finish more views too

OK when you are done say so and I'll add it to the first post.
Everyone should take note of this!!!Make sure and post that your sprite is 100% so I can move it to the front page. I want to keep them all together to make judging easier.Drop me a PM when your sprites are done to make sure I don't miss anyone.Quote from: "LastingDawn"If I may be a judge again?

Cool! Thanks for the help, LD. ^_^
That means I need at least one more judge. How about you, Zodiac? Wanna go again?
Whoa, so we need to make complete a complete Christmas Themed Sprite Sheet!? >_<
LOL! No, you just need to notify me when you're done with your entry of at least 2 frames like the rules on the first age state. ^_^
I apologize ahead of time if anyone who is actually good at spriting was thinking of this idea

I can't see this getting any better by my own work, so I will say 100% finished.
Haha this is a great start. You should work on it just a little bit more and it would be really quite good.
Bah, I was going to do a Chocobo version of that. Not bad though.
mmmk, polished him a bit. Even tried to go for a smile!
Santos L. Halper
Gabu.SPR
Haha great Philsov. Maybe make him a bit more human in the face and skin color and he will be real ready to go.
Okay Vanya I really can't see myself submitting something because of a busy schedule. So I will volunteer as a judge if that works for you.
I don't know, dude. I kind of like the evil elf look. ^_^
ok, NOW he's finalized and I can fine-tune and touch up and go back and forth on this guy forever ~_~
Got him a bit lighter skin tone, and took off the massive goblin forehead.
Noooo.. philsov I had a almost-ready-to-submit christmas goblin..
EDIT: Here they are anyway. I didn't steal your idea but I don't want my work to go to waste. If you guys disqualify me then thats cool, I just wanted to show him off.

RUMBALL! MY ENTRY IS FINAL AND I SENT A PM AND YOU WERE LIKE LOLRUM SO I'M ALL LIKE LOLBONK.
I did get all that! I've just been super busy. I'll add your entry to the first page tonight! ^_^
Can't you use my above sprite? Or do I have to submit it?
Are you going to declare it done?
This is an elf sprite I made Its not very good but I tried lol.
Yeah, it's done. Not much more I can do to it.
OK. It'll be posted on the front page... eventually. I'm feeling really lazy this week.
Lol, same here buddy, same here.
^_^
Oh shit time is a running out and I don't have a sprite submission yet.
UPDATE MAIN TOPIC WITH ENTRIES PLEASE
OK, ok! ^_^
Oh yeah, just to make it proper:

Female Oracle

Krampus
Apanda
That is wonderfully obscure!! ^_^
Is it final or finished?
Here's a link in case anyone is curious or lost:

Interesting... a very nice touch on Christmas.
Me and my Halloween-styled Christmas tree can dig it. ^_^
I am attracted to digitaldragoon's mind.
My mind is flattered Dormin Jake.
Since it is now the night before the night before Christmas, I'm making this the final one.
wow... that apanda..
damn pandas...
I thought I might as well contribute.
The #1 winnar will recieve a @ffhacktics.com e-mail account. If he already got one I'll try to find something else.
An @ffhacktics.com that would be a pretty cool present.
Awesome prize Zodiac!! Thank you for the extra contribution!! ^_^
Good idea Zodiac.
This is my official entry into the contest and for the tards who can't tell, it's Jack Frost.
EDIT: oh yes submission format

my apoligies for not entering the contest. ive been spending most of my time working on events. XD ill enter next time
Why not whip up something real fast like I did. My sprite only took an hour or so.
cauze im workin lol...... im at work right now actually
Oh well never mind then. Gotta suck to work today but meh it happens.
i didn't ask off so that i could ask off for new years eve... *crosses fingers*
Nice *Hands Zozma some Rum Nog.*.
hell yeah man! i have overproof jamaican appletons
Heh heh I've had some wine to go with the Rum Nog.
Appletons Special Reserve? That stuff is the shiznit!! ^_^
Please do put something together, Zoz. It will make my xmas wish come true to have lots of entries!! ^_^
Too late bi-aches!! Deadline has come and gone. I declare contest entry officially closed. Judges may begin posting their results at their leisure. ^_^
Who was the last judge or are you not telling for a reason.
bump for judging
Oh, I thought... we were supposed to send you the votes, eh well... my favorite had to be the Christmas Caroler, an adorable piece with a lot of sentimental value, especially since it's base was the Female Oracle instead of 20 yo Woman.
Alright that's one! ^_^

Seriously I can't believe myself I'm voting Lydyn as #1
lol
it's a good idea
OK. Since no 2 judges have the same #1 how do we decide the winner? :/
I guess the 3 #1 pics will have to battle to the death in the Arena of Doom!!
Lol or just vote me the winner..............darn I thought that would work.
Oh well, fHK isn't really interested in holidays, she would rather drive a sword though someone/thing. ^_^
Yay AD is back from hibernation.
Negative, I've been super-lurking.
Ah gotcha.
