[Vanya]

Nice work guys! Keep it up! ^_^

[DarthPaul]

Some very good looking entries. This year is shaping up very well.

[MiKeMiTchi]

I'll be the last judge, now. (Kage wants to join and enter)

[Seushiro]

2nd Entry. . . Got lazy in the front view cant make pants look like leather

Sprite: Lieutenant Raziel (Vampire)
Parts: Revamped Izlude and Monster

[SilvasRuin]

I'm purposely refraining from comment until it comes time to judge these things.

[jimmyjw88]

Well, we'll just have to enjoy the sprites and wait until the final day for the comments ^^

[Vanya]

Well, I made a point not to judge for a reason...
Very nice, Seushiro! That's awesome! ^_^

[Vanya]

Just posting samples taken from Bastard poetry's entry.
Guys, keep your entry pics down to a few frames, please.

BTW, Zalge, you might want to add a stem to your Pumpkin Bomb.
Remember there's no need to stick to the original palette! ^_^

[MiKeMiTchi]

Now that I'm a judge, I can't enter my sprite now.
Hahah. Here's my WIP sprite before deciding to join the judges.

Can anyone use this? haha. Just kidding.

Count Pumpkinstein!

[Vanya]

Nice! ^_^

[Sen]

going over the palette limit? that's... $^#@! lol

I'll still stick to the limit
I am actually making my sprites to be used on an actual patch

[Xifanie]

Remember there's no palette limit for these sprites. You can go over.

Rules:
[...]
B ) Sprites must not exceed 16 colors, but do not have any restrictions as to what colors are used.

[Vanya]

That, Ser, was the alcohol talking! =P

[Zozma]

i must say, these all look quite impressive.

and a new generation of spriters. how nice!
lol looks like im old news now. Keep up the good work

[Tersius]

That, Ser, was the alcohol talking! =P

Which time?  

I'm considering doing an entry, but if I do, I'd want to do the entire walk animation and use a sprite I'm working on but that's not 100% completed as the base.  Would using an incomplete base sprite disqualify the entry?  Also, would it be bad if I submitted an animated gif in addition to the required image?

[Vanya]

No. You can use any previously unreleased sprite as a base.
You can do any animations you want, but you don't need more than 2 frames. (preferably in different directions for humans)
If you want to show off more frames feel free, but I'd prefer a separate entry image with the minimum frames and sizes.

I was doing sprites before, but finished nothing

[Zozma]

and so you are part of the new generation <3

[Kagebunji]

Lol, I didn't said I don't wanna be judge XD, I said "I don't mind being a judge". Besides, my computer on wich I work, got malfunction, and I don't know when it will be repaired, so no sprites (and testing too Zozma, sorry).

[Zozma]

its all good
