Ohhhh boy! Ive got an Awsome Idea! Im gonna turn it in asap!

ummm...nice alternating caps in your subject there.. :(|)

So, you're judge the entries this way? Why not just publicly post the sprites with a poll at the deadline?
also, will the results be posted here or separately?
Sorry for the slight derail, DT, just trying to get a lil more info.

They are going to be posted publicly, but without the creators names behind it, so people will judge the sprites based on the sprites and not who they like as a person.

Yes , I need everyone's sprites submitted by PM Friday . Then I will start a thread with a voting poll .
No one's names will be used , just sprite #1 etc .
This way no one can claim that someone won just because of their own personal popularity at this site .
I also feel , that I shouldn't submit anything ever . Since I am running the contest , I think it would give me an unfair edge .

Do people get disqualified(not sure if I wrote it right) when they send PMs to other people to vote on a certain number?
-
Do people get disquilified when they send PMs to other people to vote on a certain number?
i would assume so if there caught

that's actually a really good idea, never thought of that. :(|)
Though i totally think you should be able participate too, with the anonymity and all.

Who would I give my submission too ?
It's unfair of me to compete . I've felt this way with the sig of the week comp for awhile . The guys that run it shouldn't submit anything , so why should I do the same thing that I feel is unfair for this ?
Look I see all your submissions . Then the last day I take 3 or 4 hours to make something I think is better than everyone else or a more popular character . Now I am a pretty honest person , so I wouldn't do that . But it could raise eyebrows that I did . Plus I know what the contest is going to be each week in advance , because daniel_p & I decide . Is that fair ? I think not . I've had my Symbiote Batman sprite done since last week ;*)) So I will never enter .
@ Super_Joker
I started this comp so the first contest , I definately wanted it to be something that related to me directly . Wolvenom was just released in EOH . So what better way to start this comp in my opinion . They will change every week , though . I hope you will all compete every week just so we can keep this going for awhile . Even if it's not your favorite theme . Who knows , maybe if you think you are not good at spriting DC characters for example . This could help you improve . Let's all try to participate .
@ dragonesku
Yeah who would've thought I would come up with the symbiote thing . Can you blame a guy for trying to get some ideas for his next WIP ? :DxDie :DxDie :DxDie Joking
@ everyone
Since the submissions are not revealed who made them until after the votes are tallied . Yes it would be considered cheating to say vote for # 2 or whatever . If everyone knew who made the sprite , it wouldn't be a big deal . But that is not the case .
Now I have been already getting submissions through PM . Although I appreciate that some of you look to me for advice . Please do not ask me , what I think of your sprite , or if I think you should change anything . My opinion means nothing in this comp . You will be judged by your peers here at infinity . I may think your symbiot " cucumber man " is the greatest sprite I have ever seen . But it will mean nothing for the competition .
Also if I give you my opinion on what you should change or fix , that would be unfair since I am running this thing & have seen other peoples submissions .
I am trying to make this comp the best for all of you . I want this to be totally fair , but fun at the same time . No one should have any edge or advantage . So I hope you all enjoy it .

Oh yeah, expect a warning or worse if anyone is caught doing this sort of thing. [-X

You dont need to cheat to have a chance. lol Thats why no one's names are going to be displayed with the sprites. :thumbsup:

lol I meant if cheaters get disqualyfied. I just needed confirmation that if someone cheats he will get disqualyfied.

Like I said . If we displayed editors names , it wouldn't be a big deal if you told your buddies here " Hey vote for me "
But , the way we are doing this , no one should know who did what sprites until the winner is declared .

vote for me, i have done the antimonitor symbiote lol :D
-
Im curious, how meny entrys have been receved so far?
-
Not enough , as of now the contest has been cancelled
Just Joking >:D >:D >:D >:D
Like 7 entries or maybe 8 . If you guys entered & did not receive a confirmation PM from me , make sure you send again . PM's have been acting strange here at times . not all of them go through .
BTW Please remove your backgrounds if possible . Or else I have to do it & don't want to mess up your sprite .

i should start soon
i really need to stop procrastinating

There's something I wanna suggest for the sprite contest. In order to keep things interesting and be sure to get a good amount of variety. I was gonna suggest, that whoever wins the weekly contest gets to pick the next weeks char to sprite. That way people have an incentive for winning and more might join because of it. If it's one person choosing all the time, won't be too fair IMO.
Two restrictions I'd add to this though. First, the same person can't pick chars twice in a row. Which would mean, if the same person won this twice in a row, the second place person gets to pick what char gets sprited next. Second, I'd keep the sprite contest limited to comics and video games. I know a lot may want anime in there too, but in all honesty, not many would join for it. Don't get me wrong, I have my fair share of anime's I like, but whichever it came down to, chances are there would be less people interested then ones joining.
So, that's my suggestion. I'll be submitting my entry later.

I think if you wanted to do anime, then it should be anime as a whole, instead of one searies, I think open ended concepts like that should be valid.
Like one week we could have a theme of Robots.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. I wouldn't mind that. However, then chances are you'd end up having people vote for favorite chars rather then what looks good. Unless there's absolutely horrible sprites up. ;*))

i agree wit batzarro, winner piks next category but then he wont b playin right?
otherwise we'll have symbiotes rainin like cats n dogs ;*))
but still there shouldnt b no limits, its like discrimination against anime spritin fans, or any categoery, then they'll start their own contest n u wont like dat.
the sky is the limit

I disagree with that .
Someone wins the contest & they already have sprited a bunch of say , Spiderman villians . Of course they will pick that as a theme . I decided to run this thing & never enter for a reason . I thought it was fair .
No it will not be symbiotes every week , either . Since I started this up , I figured the first week should be linked to my latest character .
Next week will be different , it will be spiderman goblins :DxDie :DxDie :DxDie
Just joking .
besides no one else seems to be complaining about the theme . I have entries this week . Some people even made a couple because they changed their mind what they want entered .
You may not like the theme each week . Either grin & bear it & challenge yourself to do something you normally wouldn't sprite . Or wait for next week's theme .

Becides, its not like suggestions cant influence the theme. ;)

>:-(-|
has there ever been a demo-goblin sprite... or better yet a char?

My Hobgoblin does change into demogoblin . It' supossed to be a complete transformation , with a different moves set . I just never finished it .
So to answer your question , Demogoblin sprites exist in my Hobgoblin & Acey sprited some for a Green Goblin intro .
But there has never been a complete Demogoblin character .

Well, I know for one I wouldn't just pick something I'm already spriting as the contest theme. What would be the fun in that at all.? This is suppose to be for fun, so I'd choose something I'd wanna see others take on. This isn't about anything challenging either. I don't know what's coming up so there's no way I can tell if it'd be hard or not. It's about giving others the chance to pick what the next theme will be.
Either way, it's not complaining, just suggesting something that could make this better. In any case, it's fine. :)

That last part was more towards Super_Joker . He was complaining earlier in this thread that he wasn't going to enter because he didn't like the theme .

YES? i think the winner should choose the contest from next week.

you could prevent this by not allowing the previous week's winner to participate. How else could the winner be rewarded? @^@
