Topic: December 2015 Castlevania Dungeon Sprite Contest

[Shiroi Koumori]

Deadline for submissions: December 28th (11:59 PM PST)
Judgement: by tribunal and popular vote from December 28th to December 31st at midnight and Winners announced on January (whenever the all judges are done)

Volunteer Judges: The Poll shall be the judge.

Theme: Castlevania-fy a Christmas icon or decor. Can be any particular thing provided it looks the part (i.e. can be an enemy, or a statue, or a wall decorum, or a powerup item or special attack)
Prizes: Award medals for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.

Guidelines for Participants:
-Provide your sprite in 1x and 2x zoom at least if your sprite is small. (High resolutions sprites need not have a 2x version)
-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.

Entries:

Jop's "Santa Death"



FanOfDracula's "Pachinko Christmas"


theplottwist's "Demon Castle Globe" 1st place
Christmas ornament crafted by a giant for Dracula. The inside of the globe has its own weather, and it's said that the castle inside is a perfect miniature replica of the true castle. Skeletons are constantly looking for the best room to place it in.


AuraTeam's "Flea Christmas" 2nd place (tie)


Donvermicelli "Santa Richter and Minotaur" 2nd place (tie)
Once bitter enemies, this dynamic duo now combines their power to deliver presents all over the world in a single night.

I hope some entries come in at the last minute. (People tend to keep their cards close to their chest in these contests.)

I think for next month we should get some kind of background design for a contest. (We need more of those)

Maybe something festive celebrating the new year...?

[Shiroi Koumori]

Yeah. The deadline is the busiest.
I'll create a query page for the contest next month.

I might still add more details before the deadline.
