Yeaaahhh. lemme start this off by apologizing for the colossal wait. I can't express how much I feel I've let you all down with this, however life's little problems got in the way. Real sorry guys. Anyway, as per usual with me, I've only written up the top 3 entries, this doesn't mean I've ignored the other ones, and if you didn't make the top 3, but would like to receive a constructive write up for your piece, just drop me a line.

Really nice entry, at first I didn't pic up on the unique quality of the design but after careful observation it really hit me. The pallet is appropriate, the pokemon itself is a sturdy and believable design and the fact you went to the effort to make icon and overworld sprites for it really impressed me. I think the most outstanding thing to me was the feet, they're like ice skates/snow shoes, it's a really nice little design quirk. You've definitely earned yourself this victory, well done!

Max, it's a nice sprite, don't get me wrong, but when I look at it i can't help but think of Snover, I dunno if it's because they're the same palette or because of the green tummy. Which brings me to my question, if it's made of just ice and stone, then why is there such a green area? It's a nice sprite but I can't say I;m digging the design much, sorry bud. Still, you got second place
3rd place

I know you didn't try as hard this time to give others a chance, which was nice of you, but your entry still makes the top 3. The warm yet subdued palette is a real treat and instantly reminds me of the fading green hue to the leaves that is associated with autumn. The little pumpkin was an awesome touch (since, they're like, the autumn plant lol) and the little critter instantly reminds me of an animal preparing for hibernation. Well done.
Well done to all those who entered.
And a quick note guys. Keep your eyes open for a topic in the main Pixel Art forum about some exciting changes with contests that will be taking place in the new year.
