LORD SPRITES - SPRITING CONTEST FEBRUARY 2010

We here at Lord Sprites are obviously the best spriters around, so it is our Responsibility to host a monthly spriting contest. Every month, starting on the first or second Friday of the month, we will be having a spriting contest. The contest will last for 2 weeks. You will have over 2 weekends to perfect your sprites, and the judging will take place on the Saturday and Sunday following the Contest. There will be 5 categories in all that you can enter in. We will of course need 5 willing judges (who can't be participants by the way) to judge the competition.

The judging will depend on the following-
Style- If your style suits the sprites, you get marks.
Contrast- If the colors harmonize your creation, it'll be marked up.
Shading- If your sprite is properly shaded or not.
Dynamics- For example, if your sprite is in a weird position, it'll be marked down slightly. If you can make it work, bonus points  big_smile


The Categories:
1. Pokemon Splicing - The fusion of several pokemon sprites into one ultimate beast. This catergory is mainly for attracting participants.

Participants:
-FloatingMagicTree
-
-
-
-
-

Judges:
-Lord
-Ace
-




2. Fakemon Creation - Fusing together pokemon doesn't hold a candle to making your own. Are you up to the challenge?!

Participants:
-FloatingMagicTree
-
-
-
-
-

Judges:
-Lord
-Ace
-Mr_X/Dan




3. Original Style Sprites - In your own original style, you will have to recreate a couple of sprites presented by the Lord. It will be very plain though, so you will have to transform it into your own creation. The more original, the better. Since these sprites are being marked based on own's own personal style, a wide variety of judges will be needed.

Participants:
-Blade-Edge
-RHY3756547
-
-
-
-

Judges:
-Lord
-Mr_X/Dan
-Ace

Extra Judges:
-
-
-




4. Sprite Sheet Creation - For this category, you will need to create dynamic movement sprites for another character made by the Lord. The characters will be revealed on the day of the contest.

Participants:
-Blade-Edge
-
-
-
-
-

Judges:
-Lord
-Mr_X/Dan
-Ace




5. Lord Sprites Assistants Tournament - A vague description of a sprite set will be given by the Lord and you will have to create them. This contest is exactly the same as an actual Assistant Exam (visit punbb-hosting.com/forums/supersprites and go to the Announcements for more info on the Exam) except you will have 2 weeks to work on sprites instead of 24 hours. Excellent completion of this contest will unfortunately not be eligible for use of applying to Lord Sprites as an assistant, you'll have to take a real Assistant Exam for that. Only Assistants and special invitations can participate in this particular tournament, and they are people who the Lord has deemed worthy in art. If you wish to be evaluated to see if you are also worthy to be in this contest, visit the Super Sprites forum and ask Lord about it yourself.

The list of people with special invitations to the Assistant League Contest (in no particular order):
-KileyMeister
-Half-Wolf-Leader
-PenguinsRock
-DoctorOhm
-Samurai786
-cocoanut
-webgal15
-alexpja
-IT COULD BE YOU

Assistants Eligable to Participate in the Assistant League Tournament:
-Blade-Edge

Participants:
-Blade-Edge
-Samurai786
-RHY3756547
-
-
-

Judges:
-Lord
-Mr_X/Dan
-Ace



6. A sprite-off against the Lord of Sprites - In this contest, a random chosen judge shall be selected. You will face off against the Lord (Yes, I like talking in 3rd person, in this case) in a spriting competition. The Chosen one will choose a random topic which he or she wants and they will post it. The contestant and I will then make our own sprite (or set of sprites, depending on the chosen's topic). The Lord will post the sprites on Punbb-hosting.com/forums/supersprites in at most 7 days. If you can create splendid sprites in the 2 week time limit of the contest, the Lord will conceed to you and bestow the name of this month's Scratch King of Spriting to you.

December 2009's King of Spriting - N/A
January 2010's King of Spriting - None
NO ONE SHALL DEFEAT THE LORD! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Participants:
-Lord
-FloatingMagicTree
-IT COULD BE YOU

Judges:
- The Chosen (Random Person)



7. Concept Art - Yes, every great sprite sometimes needs concept art. For example, if I really need the sprites planned out, I'll do a quick sketch or ask Blade to make one for me. In this category, you will be given a random description of a character. You will have to design it well, and make it entertaining.

Participants:
-16Skittles
-
-
-
-
-

Judges:
-Blade-Edge

For more information, contact Lord directly at punbb-hosting.com/forums/supersprites, or ask Mr_X, or everythingRhymes.

If you see your name in the invitation list, you have been given a formal invitation to the Lord Sprites Spriting Tournament February 2010. If you would like to accept this invitation, please reply on the actual topic (link to the topic here). If you would like more info, please visit the forum in the previous sentence.

I'll also be giving out invitations to other good spritists (But anyone can sign up for everything else as far as I know)

We now have our own account!
Mr_X will be deleting the previous topic in a minute
We will be taking control of all Lord Sprites related activity
(Also we refer to all employees in the third person. We are not a shared account but we must refer to ourselves as we since the group is made of many members.)
We are currently awaiting orders from Lord

Please sign up

Actually, us moderators are still debating as to the exact section with which to organize contests.  tongue

But I'll move it to miscellaneous on via your request.  smile

Well, requests isn't limited to sprites alone. There have been threads here open to other things such as music loops, voices, and even code scripts, so technically, the 'Request' forum is open to anybody who needs a request fulfilled and for those is fulfilling the request, be it sprite or otherwise. (Although, I must admit, I not quite sure what you mean when you say "stuff like what Blade does". Would you care to elaborate?  tongue )
