Why it is New Year's or Winter related:
I present you all, The Ghost of Christmas Past! It's more Christmas related but..meh.

Parts used:
I used Dusclops as a based and scratched everything else, the glowing, psychic outlines, present, stocking, candy cane, santa hat and beard. I also changed the colours of Dusclops's body.
Most of the scratch stuff is custom colours, if that's okay. :/

I'm glad the deadline was extended. c:

Why it is New Year's or Winter related: It's St. Nick (Delibird) with two of his reindeer, Blitzen and Rudolph.
Parts you used to edit: I took Stantler and Delibird sprites for the Spriter's Resource to use as the bases, then drew the reins in on paint and added Rudolph's nose which is Tepig's tail.

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.

Well, this is awesome. XD
Anyway, congrats to the other winners as well! c= Everyone had amazing sprites!


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

Congratulations everyone! ^.^

aragornbird January 2nd, 2011 4:26 PM

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

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.

The 100 Mega Shock January 2nd, 2011 7:37 PM

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.
