The rules for this contest are quite simple:

  • If you want to enter the contest, design a sprite and post it here.
  • Each person may enter up to two sprites each.
  • Prizes are 20 posts for third place, 30 posts for second place and 50 posts for first place.
  • All other entries receive 10 posts.
  • Ribbon is given out if both of your sprites place first and second (this is also pending on how good the sprites are, and how many people enter.)
  • Ribbon is only given out if at least three people enter.
  • The winning sprite will be added on the list of Contest Winning Avatars (unless it's tiny, e.g. the size of one of the Power Discs in my sig).
  • The deadline for this contest is the 15th of December.
To finish, here's an example of a sprite (it doesn't have to be any bigger/more complicated than this):

How do you sprite? I never really understood what the term "sprite" means. Does it mean to recolor? Resize? Make another similar? Or all of the above?

Spriting is using a simple drawing tool like MS Paint (which is what I use) to make a small 2D image.

I normally use a reference when I'm spriting. For example, for the swordfish above, I used google images to find a reference picture.

Not sure if this counts... drew this a while ago.

If it doesn't, I'll sprite something else.

OK,then.

I could enter with one of my previous sprites, if I can find any good ones. Hiyawoffa did most of the good sprites in my game :P .

Maybe if I do this again, I should give it a theme, then?

OK, so by default, Michelle is declared the winner.

You can move this to the completed contests forum, and I'll start up a new one with a theme.

Well, one of Daniel's rules was that it's only given out if at least three people enter.
