My thoughts on the entries

Entry 1: The way Pharaoh Man looks zombified in the first entry is pretty creative IMO

Entry 2: Frank West is happy, even when he's dead lol

Entry 3: This is a real zombie for sure, because this really reflects an undead person that've been through alot of fatal injuries, and it reminds me alot of Resident Evil, which makes me love this entry

Entry 4: Even though the entry is kind of good, I don't think Hulk is zombified enough. He could look more injured, like in this picture

Entry 5: This one is made in an excellent way, but I don't see black lanterns in this picture... in fact, I don't see any zombie inspired thing in those hands as they don't look bloody or anything alike (I don't consider random hands coming out of the floor as zombies)

Entry 6: My main problem with this one is that the zombie getting shot is standing on a pool... never seen a zombie doing that. Some of the blood effects look very blurry, and as well the stage and the fat zombie

I refused to vote on two entries and only voted on the Zombie Sagat as it was the one to most reflect how zombies should be like... that's just me, though

I think you were over thinking the entries too much. A dead person coming back to life is a zombie, they don't have to be missing limbs and covered in blood to make that point. Given, going that way is fine but they're not defined by it.

I mean, the Hulk entry is done very well and they could of been very lazy about it but you can tell a lot of editing went into Hulk. Even though he's not missing limbs or covered in blood I can tell he's a zombie regardless. As for the Black Lanterns, they are technically zombies as their rings bring the undead back to life (in a zombie like fashion). Probably would need to read up on this to better understand but the point is Spawn is a zombie now that the ring brought him back and he carries the symbol of the Black Lanterns.

I do agree more or less on the rest of of your opinions. Except I'm not so much a fan of the Frank West one, not because the sprite doesn't look decent but because when someone makes their sprite into a joke, feels as if voting for it might be based on it being funny at times which is kinda cheap IMO. Either way though, this seemed to be a good week but there were comps in the past where there were a lot of great entries and was much tougher to choose.

I like all sprites!!!  Especially, I like entry #5; Greatest cape I've ever seen.  :)

That's good point!  ^^(PM)^ :)



Entry 2: Frank West is happy, even when he's dead lol
Wait...  How did you know that is Frank West, Tsuken?  8-}  :DxDie

Thanks to Demonkai.  I got this MMPR photo.
I didn't know your name was :D. That's an interesting name.

Those are the same clothes, short hair and he's holding a camera. It is Frank West

Batzarro: There's a difference between undead and zombies, you should know that. One more thing <- Clicky

And that vote on the Frank West entry wasn't even mine

The dead coming back to life are considered zombies. They can be called undead as well. Unless you mean it as undead = living, then that's just an odd way of saying alive. Not sure what your personal definition on the term is but that's how most people seem to view it.

I still stand by what I said on joke sprites, I mentioned it wayyy back in like one of the first comps as well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Just feels as if it's trying to put comedy in over work/quality. Again though, just my opinion on the matter is all.

I don't recall seeing an entry with a joke getting overrated in any of the contests I've seen. And also, it's not cheap, it's just fair, and it makes the entry distinct from the others, not to mention there are users who make something on their entry to get advantage, like the quantity of sprites in an entry (some entries with many characters have quality, others don't, it doesn't always work). Quality is what makes an entry the best, but I see that some times, users here ignore the quality and care about quantity or something like that, I've seen many entries getting the first place because of quantity when I looked at the hall of fame topic, and all the comedic entries I remember seeing didn't get many votes as you've mentioned, so it rarely works

I do agree that a lot of times I have seen quality get outdone due to quantity and that is the worst. Hell, sometimes it's not even quantity, sometimes I just don't understand how one thing outdid another. Guess it just comes down to what the majority around here like, it'll always be a toss up. Unless it's someone like Warner entering, he'll win 99% of the time without a prob. XD

As for the joke sprites, still sticking with what I said, that's not gonna change. Looking through the thread of winners I do see a handful that placed because of a joke within the first two pages alone. Again though, just my opinion is all.

Someone that understands how I feel C:

What you said about Warner is true too, I can't remember seeing him lose a single contest

Actually, Warner lost once. Don't remember to who but it was in an Anime comp, which is one of the last comps I'd expect him to lose in. Funny thing is, he'd been winning comp after comp for a while there but once he lost he just kinda vanished. Haven't seen him really around since. Maybe he was just a wondering soul seeing if anyone was ever strong enough to defeat him. Now that he has been defeated, his soul can finally rest in peace.

:D

I think he's been beaten more than once, actually. I'll check.

Edit
warner's Record:
Grand Winner(?)-Two
Wins (1st)-12 (including one where he was the only entry)
Ties (1st)-1
2nd-3 (Anime, Week 48 and Free-For-All)

We should have a scoreboard. :D

These are some really good edits. Wish I would've been sober enough last week to sprite something lol, but then again I couldn't really think of anything as creative that was already done. Hulk looks like he did in Marvel Zombies (loved that storyline :thumbsup: ) and is really well done not to mention the wolverine part.

As for the comedy thing I don't think there's anything wrong with it, as alot of these themes seem to leave alot of room for it, however quality should always bee the first consideration. Stuff like quantity , comedy, complexity etc I feel are good edges for those neck & neck edits who are the same level quality wise but only after quality has been considered...you know as long as it respects the art....but hey that's just my opinion :-??

@GTF & @Batz Lol those some pretty good points on what makes a Zombie a zombie we should start a discussion thread to define zombies :P ...but seriously though, GTF does make a good point you wouldn't call a Vampire a Zombie or anyone resurrected from the Lazarus pitt a zombie (Jason Todd etc) I do agree that the black lanterns can be classified as Zombies though easily they fit all the sterotypes lol....but in the same breath can Zombies be defined just by their undeadness look at ResidentEvil and more recent media most Zombies these days aren't even undead anymore they're infected with a virus(sometimes even manmade). lol I think this would be a very interesting topic to discuss in the general section or something.
