Yes, that's much better-looking.

I think "Hydra" traditionally refers to the Greek monster with the multiple heads, but if you're thinking something more in the direction of what Gyarados is, that's fine too.
Angels or mermaids will be fine. I don't think shamans would exactly constitute for "mythological creatures". Their powers may be myth, but the people themselves are not... UnseenIdiot, unless you can tell me exactly what mythology your entry is supposed to come from and provide me with a reference image of the creature, it is disqualified for not adhering to the contest theme. Pandoras Box, your entry is disqualified for not fitting the contest theme. Even if you could point me to a mythology that involves green cats on fire, your entry looks like an Espeon on fire, not a green cat on fire, anyway. Mr.Tumnus, your entry is also disqualified for not fitting the contest theme. It looks like a winged Rapidash, not a winged horse - I specifically warned against that in the contest rules. |
Shamans are not classified as a mythological creature as Dragonfree stated in her post.
Quote:
Shaman originally referred to the traditional healers of Turkic-Mongol areas such as Northern Asia (Siberia) and Mongolia, a "shaman" being the Turkic-Tungus word for such a practitioner and literally meaning "he (or she) who knows". The Tungus word has been further connected with Chinese sha men "Buddhist monk," ultimately from Sanskrit. śramaṇa "Buddhist ascetic" (see shramana). Accordingly, the only proper plural form of the word is shamans and not shamen, as it is unrelated to the English word "man". In its common usage, it has replaced the older English language term witch doctor, a term which unites the two stereotypical functions of the shaman: knowledge of magical and other lore, and the ability to cure a person and mend a situation. However, this term is generally considered to be pejorative and anthropologically inaccurate. Objections to the use of shaman as a generic term have been raised as well, by both academics and traditional healers themselves, given that the word comes from a specific place, people, and set of practices. Wikipedia Article For reference to mythological creatures, Encyclopedia Mythica's Bestiary section should be able to point you in the right direction. |
Orophin is disqualified for art theft. The funny thing is, it's my sprite he stole, so it seems pretty darn thick to enter it in a contest that I'm judging.
The original sprite: http://jupiter.vilhjalmur.com/butterfree/006.png |
I have a couple questions (if they were covered in the rules, feel free to slap me):
Are we allowed doing pixel art based on a sketch drawn with a tablet? Is there a size limit for the picture? Are the use of any specific art programs prohibited? And.... Yeah that's it. |
Yes, no, and no unless you use the program for some kind of filter or aid or something that would be regarded as cheating.

Here's mine:
It's a Manticore. http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/6130/winglessmanticorecolour4my.gif Any comment? (Accept that it still needs wings.) Oh, and it's not allowed to post two entries, I know. But is it allowed to edit your entry? |
Quote:
Now about the sprite; I don't like the over-dithering to much. More comment i can't give. And yeah it's a good question. 'Can' you edit your entry? |
Yes, you can edit your entry - just be sure to note when you have edited it so I'll know to look at it and re-judge it.
|
Would the Loch Ness monster be considered a "mythological creature"?
This site has legends about it(in the first three paragraphs). |
Quote:
so, now you know. ~shadowfuse |
I also made an edit.
Just thought I'd note it. http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2282/manticorecolour6xw.gif Discuss. And I just noticed Red Lugia's sprite is a bit pillow-shaded. |
Yes, Loch Ness monster is fine.
|
um this is a little OT but who won the last one?
i never heard |
If you'd looked down a little bit in the section or on the second page, you would've saw Cowrie did.
-_- I was going to do Loch Ness, then half-way through, gave up. That's how I pretty much am anyways. |
can i submit something already made? or do i have to make a new art/sprite just for this contest?
|
ok ok i admit that i lost again...
i never win any of these things =) |
grr...guess I was disqualified XD I knew my speite wouldn't last...but I like the entries ^^
