School is a bitch. Anywho, the final round is nigh!
- The theme for this round will be, of course: CHARAS
- You will create your sprite and submit it to me via PM. As always, we recommend Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com) or ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.us) for image-hosting needs. Any difficulties with this can be asked in the thread or to me.
- DO NOT SHARE YOUR SPRITE WITH OTHERS
- The deadline for sprite submission for Round 3 is 12:00 Noon EST on Friday, September 5th. If this doesn't work for you, sorry, but you were warned about tight time restrictions.
- At that time, the thread will be made for the matchup and the sprites will be presented. Posts in the voting thread will be for VOTES ONLY and will consist of nothing except the name of who you vote for. Discussion can wait until the post-round summary.
- Previous rules all apply, and you can look them up for yourself(NO PREVIOUSLY MADE SPRITES, for example).
NEW RULES FOR ROUND 2 AND ONWARD
- Sprites can no longer be "scenes". Likewise, in order to better provide a quality sprite and standardize results, you may not include multiple "poses". You can make more if you want to, but only submit one sprite. The general deciding factor of whether a sprite is a scene or not is the presence of things that are not a part of the subject of the sprite, IE trees around them or a background. Accessories like boxes or vehicles that are a part of the main sprite object are allowed. Not sure? Ask me.
- All sprites must use a palette of no more than 8 colors. This is an experimental rule - we must remember that this first sprite off will be a big experiment. If you are confused, what this means is that you can only use a max of 8 colors in your sprite total. Here is an example of a sprite palette (http://cardgallery.tales-tra.com/tut/palette.gif). Yours can look like whatever you want, but there must be some sort of palette table included in your sprite to verify that 8 or less colors were used. Background color is NOT included in the palette (For now :P)
As a reminder, these are the winners from the last round:
In terms of the theme, you may do anything that is associated with Charas. Remember that the new limit is 8 colors and there must be a pallette made! I'm sorry that it took so long to get this up, I severely underestimated my schedule at school this semester. Trust me, the next time we run a sprite off it will be better. :P
Anywho, ZKX and Prpl, get to it!

No.
Anyways, good luck to the both of you. It'll be interesting to watch you duking it out. *Sits on modthrone in the colosseum's VIP box*
-
Cool. I'm serving refreshments up there later. Perhaps we can chat about the event?
-
8 colours huh? Well this might just be interesting.
I got 5 days now, gotta find something to summon inspiration.
-
You know purp. I'm sweet and sexy. Sprite me and you'll win everything.
-
And here we go!
-
I believe in ZKX. :D

Awesome. I've been looking forward to seeing this.

Due to unforseen complications with both of the finalists, the deadline will be extended. The good news is that this will result in better sprites overall. Bad news? You guys have to wait.
Whenever the next sprite-off starts the first thing that will be hashed out will be a schedule. This one was sort of thought up as we went, so hopefully the next sprite-off will be more organized. :D
-
I saw this one coming. Like, from half the universe away.

Wow. I put that to the tune of "Go Go Power Rangers!"...>.> Its been FOREVER since I've seen that show.
-
The first ones where the best. Or maybe the fact I was like, five, or something, made it look best.
The new ones kinda suck =z
-
No, you were right. Power Rangers used to be awesome.

Due to a lack of submission a week later, Prpl_mage wins by default. Although not as suspenseful as a vote-off for who can bring it harder, Prpl's still got the mad skills.

The harp is kind've odd though.
Congrats to everyone who participated (Weeks ago) and who didn't complain as much as I expected for the frequent delays and such.
-
What? If that was what he submitted, I would have seen the epic win that Zeek could have received. I know both of them could do better than that... Oh well. Congrats, Prpl.
-
Yeah, I didn't complain about it, but honestly, had it been a bit more streamlined I could have gotten it done. School and general life got in the way, as really all my time goes to school, looking for work, or just relaxing. Too tired to sprite lately.
Oh well, 'grats dude. I told you you'd do something good.
-
God. Prpl didnt even bothered to try and he still won. He is so awesome. XD
Grats man
-
yay... so.. when is the next one?
J/k.

0.0 lol....I don't think the servers are liking the contests
