Guidelines for Participants:

-Contestants can post as many entries as they want and may update their entries freely before the submission deadline.
-You may withdraw any entry at any time before the judgement begins.

Important info: Due to some controversy regarding the use of sprites from other members from our contest be sure to mention from now on if you want your final entry to be open-sourced or not. Meaning other members can or cannot use your sprites for their projects! (Just so we are clear.)

Guidelines for Judges:
-Judgement will use a point system.
-4 points awarded for your first place choice.
-2 points awarded for your second place choice.
-1 point for your third place choice.
-When posting your scores write up an explanation/critique of your judgement.
-Additional rounds of judgement will be used for tie breakers.
-Judges cannot participate in the contest.
-There will be a poll to vote for the most popular sprite and this popular vote would serve as an extra judge.

I see I'll have to bring out the big guns 

Also, this candle is goddamn funny for me, for some reason that might or not be the fact that the skeleton is desperately grasping at its own head which is on fire.

[Dracula9]

That's the idea, heh.

I've got another, possibly larger one planned, but its design will take a lot longer.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Whoohooo! I can't wait to see the larger one, D9.
Oh and D9, what should I call it? Fire Head?

As for the rest of you, please join in even if you're just a beginner. People here will help you out.
For the veterans, bring out the big guns! hahaha! 

[Dracula9]

"Searing Headache," I guess. 

As for the bigger one, all I'll say now is to imagine Gustave Dore's illustrations for The Comedy, and you're in the ballpark.

[Jop]

Im thinking and thinking and dont have a good idea, this day i think i have something but it will take time and i dont know if its going to be great or not but in the time im going to make that here is something i make yesterday:

Pumpkin Liberty
     

[BLOOD MONKEY]

Seeing as I don't have much free time, I'll be a judge this time round.

[Donoffrio]

I'll just put these here then,

''Save statue of Death''

yes its a trap

[Shiroi Koumori]

Thanks guys! I've added all entries and Bloo's name on the first post.

[theplottwist]

My first entry - Flaming Horse

   

I say "first" because I might do one more.

[Dracula9]

'Bout damn time you got something in. I was starting to think the big guns were staying holstered.

[theplottwist]

Next entry - the Mermaid

 

I might STILL have something more up my sleeve heh

[Donoffrio]

Dammit Plot, now I'll have to up my game a little.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Added plot's entries.

There is still time to add more entries.
