I can't believe this never crossed my mind before. <_< I'd like to thank Gogeta for making a topic that reminded me of it. (If he wasn't Graphics mod, I'd have asked him for help, but I don't want to burden him with two forums if he doesn't want it. Plus, I wanted to make things more interesting.)

Well, I'd like to start off by apologizing to everyone active in the Sprite areas. It was irresponsible for me to take leave without having someone judging/ranking sprites in my stead. v.v I accept any consequence that you all deem worthy for my ignorance.

Secondly, I'd like to find someone who could rank sprites alongside me.

HOWEVER.

I would like to have confidence, knowing that they aren't bias, that they know what they're talking about, and that they're capable of putting forth work that can actually qualify for Master Rankings (sorry to be biased towards that myself, but it's for the good of the people. x.x).

Animations aren't necessary, but... well, I'm not that good at animating, so someone who knows how to do those really well might help. I'd also like to see some versatility with different styles, or at least an extreme mastery with one style.

I say that we hold a contest to see who can help me out... with the approval of the Mods and Forum Team, of course. ^^'' I'd like to see someone who can beat me to help me out. Would you grant me permission to start such a competition, and, for normal members, would you be willing to participate if such a competition were avaliable? o.o

Heh, I'd love to help. But first I'd have to actually DO some sprite work... aside from the tiny bit I've worked on.

A good idea, though.

I would try but if I did thoretically enter a master sprite (Be a trick XD), I'd have to wait 3 more weeks to get it judged by yeh XD

Ooo! Ooo! Pick me! Pick me! I'll finally have something to do!

I would own you guys in spriting and animation but I unfortuantely don't have the free time for judging becuz of Maple Story. But I will enter and pwn if there's a competition :P

You can do whatever you want to decide the next sprite judge.

I can enter the recolouring division XDDDD

I'm cheering you XD

GO LUIS! GO!

Yay! =jumps up and down=

Go qwerty Go!

does beating you once count?

hmm

hmm

...
...



I'll enter! do we have a sprite or whatever to recolor/modify?

Ah ha, ah ha. Laugh it up, smart guy. x.x

No, beating me once doesn't count. :P

(Edited)

Now, let's begin.

Each of us shall have the task of modifying one sprite and one mug into a Fire Emblem or Golden Sun character from any of the games. However, no mugs from the Fire Emblem series may be used, and the same applies for the sprites. (Same applies for Golden Sun.) They will be judged on the 'trueness to the character', the quality of the color, the amount of customization, and the mastery of the sprite as a whole.

To put it simply, take a sprite from any game (or make it pix-by-pix) to create a Fire Emblem or Golden Sun character. You need both a sprite and a mug, so look through various games to find what you need to accomplish your task.

Ingenuity and originality will be rewarded, as well. Sadly, exclusively recoloring sprites cannot be rewarded in this competition.

Those who submit animations that are at least 10 frames long are exempt from making the mug, though talking mugs will not exempt you from spriting. Use any style you wish, but make sure to keep the base handy; any entries without bases will be automatically disqualified.

If you are interested, post here with the intention to enter. The due date will be assigned after I assess the number of positive applicants, whom I will give three days to register. Thank you. ^_^

I am interested.

(Oh, and check your PM Inbox. If you wish, post in my topic. You are allowed)

So we do an FE in another games style or animate? But what do we animate? And can we do both?

No, you take a character from another game and make it FE style.

so are we supposed to do something like pix by pix?

or can we take a FE mug/sprite and modify it to what we disire

i dont understand

Actually, I'm wquite confused.

Do we make an FE or GS person into another style? Or vice versa?

>_>

Vice versa. x.x Hold on. Let me edit my post and clarify things a bit.

Edit: Better?

Thank you.

(And check your PM Inbox)

nope still not getting it....

so just say yes or no...say i take cloud and edit a FE mug to make it look like him would that be acceptable?

...No. If anything, the other way around. For example, if I wanted to create Eliwood, I could take a Cloud mug from FFT and create him. That's what I meant.

[notes that he's an original judge of that area >_>]

Oops... I'd forgotten about that. :mellow:

My apologies, Aien. :( Can I still hold this competition, though?

If you waaaaaant.

But he never judged.

True, but... but... hey, you got that banner from the Gaia Grammar Guild, didn't you? :XD

Oh. But, anyways, I'd like to ask Aien if he would allow me to continue, first...

Gaia grammar guild? No. Afriend on another forum had it.

Sure. Dun care.

XD

I rarely judge anyways, even though I am one.

Good, good. Thank you very much. ^_^

Hmm... I'll make an official topic I guess.

EDIT Actually, Kurai, post it in the Updates forum if you can. If you can't, someone else will.

I am not authorized to. Would you do it for me, Luis? Just quote the necessary posts and cut out what's irrelevant.

Done! :wub:
