October Monthly Contest

Ho ho ho kiddies, that's right, it's back!

Since this is the first one in oh I don't know, forever, I'm going to pick a quite cliche and easy theme, Halloween

Easy huh?

Here's the catch(es)
No recolours You can't submit a basic recolour, if you do, it'll simply be disqualified. If your entry is disqualified under this pretense, you can resubmit a new, legitimate entry.

No sprite theft Pretty obvious, use your own work, if you use someone elses work and it comes to light, you will be disqualified, no questions asked and no chance to resubmit.

Your entry can be an edit, scratch, mix, heavy edit, large pixel art, animation (although it has to use sprites) or an old piece that is relevant (obviously not your entry from the 2006 Halloween contest)

Normally there's two threads, one for discussion, and one for submitting entries, however I feel discussion about the contest should just be held in the Pixel Art showcase/discussion thread that we already have.

Anyone who comes below 4th won't have their "rating" publicly displayed, but if they want, they can PM me and I'll tell them privately.

Deadline is 29th October 2008

I am judging.

I have no name for my splice :/
too many pokemon mixes to make a name

Ninetails/Luxray/Jolteon/Tauros/Umbreon mix

i could've done better :/ might be that i change to another sprite i like..

What does it have to do with Halloween?

Well I dont know If we are only limited to pokemon but I made a ghostly lucas

Yay!

Here's my entry. Not my best work, but I think it's scary at the very least. XD

Mobile Tsk and HappyFace, you're entries are both accepted.

Froslass, yours will be if you can tell me how it's relevant to the theme.

anyway it's an devilish sprite :P

>:D HERE IS WHAT YOUVE BEEN WAITING FOR! MY SPRITE FROM SCRATCH!

o.k. then can I enter this one

All are accepted. Froslass I'll let yours in on the technicality that a Demonic thing does tie in with Halloween.

okay i changed it a little bit to make it look more demonish is that ok?
here it is:

That fits in more with the theme. Accepted. Remember guys, this is the entry thread, discussion should be kept to the Spriter's Showcase/Discussion thread.

Bwahahaha...

It feeds on insects...and blood.

Accepted. It's a skeleton of Glizor right?

Yes, a Gliscor skeleton it is. XD

Alright, here's my submission:



A scratch pumpkin for whom I have no name.
(Btw, subdued the colors a bit from the original. Thanks for the suggestion Foxhound.)

"Get a move on, Hutch!"
"MY NAME'S NOT HUTCH!"

...

Glad to see another monthly contest in motion. I decided to put a fun twist into the Halloween theme by using two of my favourite characters, Cassidy and Butch. :D

Time taken: 4 hours.
Sketched and coloured on MS Paint.

If you don't get the joke behind this piece, you should watch this.

Shiharu, that looks brilliant, but you need to work on your textures a bit. Her hair, for one, doesn't look right.
Other than that definately fantastic.

What is it with the line "however I feel discussion about the contest should just be held in the Pixel Art showcase/discussion thread" That some of you aren't getting?

Sorry.

I was going to put my entry in that post but I couldn't find it.

My mistake.
