Alright! Then the theme will be designing the medal.
I've got Uzo, now I need two more volunteers to judge.

I'll update the first post shortly.

Will judges be allowed to participate in contests?

Or do we make it so if they are a judge for that month's particular contest they can't participate?

That way we could switch up judges each month.

Hell no. Of course the judges can change between contests. If you're not judging you should be able to participate.

I'll judge and not participate.
After all, I could just make one...
...but this is a community! Make some stuff so that you can say "Yeah! I added to it!"
It would make the forum better than some generic Facebook group or something.

Get to it! The rules are as Inccubus described.

Jorge you can be the sappy judge who wants to give everyone a 10/10 for effort.

Now we just need the Guest Star judge who doesn't know jack shit about sprites and is easily impressed. Then the CVD reality show will truly be complete.

I could probably be that judge X-D :-P

But seriously, I'd be willing to judge (though I think you're looking for mods, one of which I am not).  I'd love to be a part of the contest, but I guess I'd probably actually satisfy the "...doesn't know jack shit about sprites..." criteria mentioned by uzo.  I don't know where or how one would even start to make a sprite, so I don't expect I'll get to participate in the actual designing of sprites, unfortunately.  I might know enough to be an okay judge though.

If people were wanting to rotate contest judges to keep things interesting, then using only mods would make that pointless.

FINAL EDIT:
My latest, and definitive entry. Improved the sprite's animation, and I feel now that it's much superior to my previous version:





Here are the sprites that will be used if the golden bat wins, meant as preview only, and not animated since only the bat is up for judgment (yes they'll be animated too):

EDIT: OK, there WAS decided that only one award per contestant and it escaped me, and I actually did a bunch of them in the same theme. So I'm editing to only one award and removed the others.

Here it is:


And... It lives!


Gold Vampire Bat as the 1st place award. The symbol of Dracula and Castlevania itself as a fitting prize for the winner.

It has begun

P.S. On a side note, with the Music and Sound Request thread, this is the 2nd idea that I started on the dungeon that has turned into an official thread, that's worth something right..lol
Just trying to make the dungeon the best place it could be!

Now if we can just start an official 3D section for dungeonites that are making fan-games or just asking for help we will be set....

And I just noticed that we will end up with a lot of awards for the 1st place, and not so many (or maybe none) awards for 2nd and 3rd place.
