If I had only voted for myself. o.O#
Ah well, was a pretty good turn out. Was also surprised there were about half of the entries without a single vote. Everyone did a great job though. :)

I agree everyone did a great job :thumbsup: I just figured nothing else would win with zarro's entry . I was surprised I tied .
zarro you were right not to vote for yourself .
Now as for me .....
Once in awhile I may slip something into the comp from time to time . I did it fairly . As soon as I knew the theme , I took 4 hours to make my sprite . I did it before I seen anyone elses & never changed it . Proof of that is the other Spiderman entry . Had I known in the beginning someone else was doing Spiderman , I would've done something else . I posted my Medieval Spawn sprite at the bottom to throw people off , so no one really knew I entered .
I had a couple of reasons for entering .
1) After last week & people talking about they were going to quit submitting entries . I kind of thought there wasn't going to be a good turn out this week . So I just made something to boost the entries .
2) After I kind of got beat up in my Wolvenom thread by a certain someone . I've been having some doubts about my spriting ability . I needed to prove something to myself , I guess . " That I still had it "
This was the perfect way , I thought . No one would know who made this sprite . It was just a random sprite in a competition . So people would not be voting for it because they liked me , thought I was a cool
person , or because I have something in EOH etc ..... They would be voting on what they thought looked good .
I think this proved alot to me & I feel alot better now . When I seen zarro's submission . I thought nothing else would even come close to it . In my mind I declared him the winner as soon as I seen it . But somehow my Spidey hung in there to tie for first ?
I want to thank everyone who voted for the Spiderman #1 sprite . Because I know that you voted for it , because you thought it was good , not just because it had " DT's " name on it . It meant alot to tie or even be in the running with zarro's masterpiece

I fixed your name .

That was beautiful, man. :'( lol
Anyways, thanks for thinking so much of my sprite. Believe it or not, there was a lot more I had planned for it, just not enough time. I just thought to myself, if it's truly fine with everyone else that so many sprites can be in a single entry, I'm gonna take full well advantage of it. ;*))

I kind of think you went a little overboard to make your point . ;*))
But as you can see by this week winners . I don't really think it's how many sprites you make in your entry . It's the quality of the work , originality , style used to make it & if you are doing an existing character , how close he looks to the real deal .
I think you were voted , just because yours is a masterpiece . It actually is more like a sig .
I think I won , because people liked my sprite . Plus I made him like he is in the Marvel Zombies book .
DanoArtist because that Giant man was original . I never thought I would see an entry like that & the work was done well . Especially for the shading on a big sprite .
JMills for originality & work put in . He made a bunch of characters , had a good theme & putting a spoon in Hayato's hand was genius . :DxDie
SpiderMew definately for originality . Cuclops took off his own head to shoot Magneto with an optic blast :DxDie.
Everyone think of all these things combined when making your sprites for the comp & it will give you a better chance of winning . Like I said I really think everyone did a great job this week . All the entries were excellent . It's just batzarro's stood out more to me because it was almost like a painting .
Now just in case anyone is wondering what my sprite consists of . First I took Spiderman sprites & made a " grungier " looking palette . I totally thinned up spidey to give him a more zombie type look . Then I downloaded some pics of the Marvel Zombie Spiderman . I changed the stance for reasons I will mention in a minute . I decided where I was going to have Flesh missing or bone hanging out & totally erased that . I ripped up his mask & redid his jaw & eye . Then I just sprited the rotting flesh , shredded costume & sprited the bones hanging out . Made his costume ripped & bloody flesh in spots . I did the rib cage hanging out last . The reason why I changed the stance is because I have a version with a missing leg , like after the bone broke in the book . So I needed an arm to support the body instead . But I decided to submit a version for the comp of when he first started to become zombified basically .
