Wow! Has it been a year already? Well, guys and gals, welcome to the second annual Halloween sprite contest!! I can't wait to see what our spriters can come up with this year! So get to it!! ^_^

*Some of you may notice that the contest is starting and ending a bit early this year. 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.*

All who want to participate need only post their Halloween themed sprites here!! =)

1 ) Most importantly you must have fun.
2 ) Obviously the entries have to have fit the theme.
3 ) Entries should be in PNG format.

5 ) The base sprite must be an official Square FFT/WotL sprite, or a custom sprite from scratch in FFT style.
6 ) Entry must have at least forward-angled frame and one other, with additional frames optional.
7 ) No resubmitting of old sprites.
8 ) Judges can't participate, duh.

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

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