New Year's Sprite Edit Competition! [NYE THREAD]
 
New Year's Sprite Edit Competition!

Hosted and Judged by dragonite149 and Sammyskitty

So you think you have the skills to make the best New Year's/Winter themed sprite? Well then this event is just for you! Here you can enter your own edited sprite and have it judged. First, Second, and Third place winners will receive an emblem and all participators will receive one as well.

Rules


1. In order for the sprite to qualify for this event, it must be New Year's or Winter related. You must also provide an explanation on why it is New Year's or Winter related.
2. All entries must be your own work. That means, no stealing or ordering from a sprite shop.
3. You may not enter with alternate accounts.
4. No scratch sprites-only edits (A scratch sprite is a sprite you make from scratch. You have nothing to work from, apart from an idea of what you're going to make.)
5. You may not use previously made sprites, but you can reuse the idea for the sprite.
6. The maximum size of the sprite cannot be larger than 100 x 100.

Times


December 29th to December 31st: Entry Submission
January 1st: Judging
January 2nd: Results will be announced

Is it just a recolor or can you use parts of other Pokemon?

Maraala December 29th, 2010 2:46 PM

You can do both recolors and splices~

Perriechu December 29th, 2010 2:49 PM

What sprite did you use as the base? This is an edit competition, meaning you have to edit a sprite, not just throw multiple parts together. Though I'm guessing you used Tsunbeaa as the base.

Why it is New Year's or Winter related: Christmas related, for the obvious reason.
Parts you used to edit: Simply took the Blaine sprite and added a beard and Santa hat. Everything else is untouched save a few adjustments to the colors.

Why it is New Year's or Winter related: 2011 is the year of the rabbit according to the Chinese zodiac, so I made two Buneary carry a traditional New Year's Dragon.
Parts you used to edit: Gyarados for the Dragon and 2 Buneary. Everything else is scratch.

No more entries will be accepted now. Judging has started.

NatureKeeper, I have decided to accept your entry, but I will deduct points for being over the 100 x 100 size limit.

Did you mean that you decided to accept Aragornbird's entry? Other than that, I'll get on to judging the entries. I'll judge the first entries first.

Why would they? His entry is exactly within the limits, NatureKeeper's exceeds them.

PKMN Trainer Alison January 2nd, 2011 4:19 PM

Congratulations everyone! ^.^

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Congrats to the winners, but how were the sprites judged? Because Bluerang's entry doesn't look like a first place quality sprite (no offense). Just compare it to all the other winners and even some of the non-winning entries submitted.
I'm sure others are wondering the same thing. I'm just the first to say it.

It's a bit odd nothing was mentioned about accepting sprites that had been auto-resized but I'd be interested in hearing the judges opinions on the contest entries regardless.

Bluerang1 January 4th, 2011 12:47 AM

o_O I won something. *is speechless* Thank you! Thank you so much! And congrats to the other winner and participators :)

Edit: At those who are sceptical about my entry winning, I was quite suprised as well. However, maybe it's because I simply edited one sprite, and not a Pokemon sprited at that, and also that I went with the general theme/idea of New Year(2011). :)

Well, I'll reveal the secret judging plans.
Me and Sammyskitty would give each sprite a score out of ten in three categories: Uniqueness, Creativeness and Neatness. Then all the scores would be added together to get the final score. And the sprites with the highest scores win. I think the judging method was fair.

Bluerang's entry wasn't that neat, though it was quite creative and unique, so it won. It was unique because it was one of the few trainer sprites, and creative because it was one of the few New Year themed sprites.

It's also one of the worst sprites I've ever seen in my life. Your other choices were fine, and congratulations to those winners, because you deserve it, but Bluerang's entry was horrible. It's a competition - don't be afraid to be honest. Heck, you're not doing him any favours by awarding him for bad work.

Bluerang, one thing you should know about pixel art is to never auto-resize anything, and resizing manually is a bad idea in itself unless you do so in increments of 100.

Thanks for the tip Amachi.

Listen, who came what place wasn't totally up to me. Sammy helped with the judging as well. We both awarded the sprites points, which were added up. So, if it was a bad sprite, Sammy would have given it a low score as well, which would mean it would have came near last place. Anyway, we should stop arguing about whether Bluerang's entry is good now. It came first, so that's that. No need to argue anymore.

Also, auto resized? I never knew Bluerang's entry was auto resized.

Bluerang1 January 7th, 2011 9:46 AM

I don't know what auto-resize is but yes, I made the image bigger. My bad if it's against the rules. But yeah, let's drop it, let me be happy winning something for once :)

It looks blurry, and isn't the original size of that original Touko sprite from BW.

If you zoom in by about three times or so it becomes much easier to see if a sprite has been auto-resized, enlarged by a computer program or whatever you want to call it.
