IMT offical Sprite of the Month Contest #1 July 2012
« on: June 27, 2012, 10:18:54 AM »
Hello and welcome to the offical IMT Sprite of the Month contest!

How is this differnt contests in the past you ask? What makes this one so offical? 
Well for the first time in IMT history, the 3 placing sprites will each win a trophy avatar designed by rare and unrequestable Darkgargos! Shoot for gold people, because one lucky first place winner, will win a golden blade unlike any other before.
Thats right folks, not only will your avatar be made by Darkgargos, but first place will win a special golden sword.
First place will also get to give 3-5 suggestions for the next contest that will be voted on by IMT staff.

 :thumbsup:

So im sure by now your wondering what this month's theme will be. Well after hearing the suggestions of the last contest winner, and voting. Our theme will be

Homeless/Hobo Heroes!
Everyone is down on their luck, and forced to live on the streets they protect. How would batman look working on a budget of nothing.
Would iron man have to steal from a junkyard to make repares? Instead of masks and helmets, are heroes using cardboard boxes or paper bags? Use any of those ideas or come up with one yourself!

You have untill Sunday July 22nd at midnight PST to get in your sprites.
Voting will begin on monday morning. Send all your entrys to me.
I would like to encurage all of you to make something, even if you feal your skill really isnt on the same level as others, try and turn something in, you never know who will like your sprites and you may win.

Same rules as before; send me your sprites, you cant post or talk about your sprite for the contest anywhere untill the contest and voting is done. So no posting them on other fourms or deviant art untill next month.

Remember the prize! Shoot for gold!
Beleve in the me, that beleves in you!

 :O*D

Honestly I want to earn a golden sword. It's one with to give yourself a sword for being admin, it's another to earn one because you're good at something.

I don't know much about these contests, can IMT staff participate in these contests or is this only for normal members? If you can enter, I say go for it. Then you might earn yourself one of my Golden Swords.

Remember people don't feel bad if you don't win gold, the second and third place prizes will be just as nice  ;)

Normally "Swords" are for staff only, this is a way for people to earn one as a exclusive prize from this contest. Not only that it will be a specially designed "Golden Sword" to boot. So I think it's a great angle to get people to enter, there is no need to get all jealous or drink the haterade. This is all for fun in the end so there is nothing wrong. We should be encouraging spriters and giving them a fun reason to enter, this spices things up and makes for an interesting contest.

Besides I'm also designing the second and third prizes too, they will be nice as well. So it's not just the sword.

lol @ that vid, yeah no one likes a party pooper and the thing is this is all in the name of fun and to encourage spriters. The sword is just that ultimate prize waiting for a winner that earned it.

Even if you don't win the sword the second and third place prizes are nice too, so if you get second or third you still get something made exclusively by me  ;)

And Lo, My inability to sprite has once again toppled my dreams. Boy, does it suck when you have a great idea, plan everything out, then find out you are unable to implement it.

I say go for it. I'm trying quite an ambitious sprite myself, and worst case scenario you don't win. I've made some pretty bad stuff for this (look at the pocket contest) and sometimes it turns out good.
