I agree with Drac9. This forum seems to love original works.
I'm still with my Succubus vote on PG rating and not M (I know everyone wants the M rated one, but we have to keep it PG) especially if there are no limits on pixel size.
What say you guys?
Why not both?  8)

My lack of internet is killing meeeeee! I'm losing all the cool stuff...

Anyways, my suggestion is one I had since a long time: Candelabra designs.

Castlevania is shock-full of different candle and candelabra designs. So the contest would revolve around creating interesting candelabras which could do other stuff beyond merely dropping hearts (like the ones in Aria that can contain souls).

I'm also in favor of the Succubus theme, so you have my vote there unless something drastically better comes up (how many Succubi designs are in CV really, like four?). Although, while I understand the need for a PG rating, where's the fun in designing a Succubus if you're not allowed to show titties? Defeats the purpose!

Maybe a PG-13 rating to satisfy people on both fronts? Things can be shown provided it's not particularly lewd (for instance, a nude frontal shot or something as opposed to Redhead showing Alucard a good time), provided it's some degree of tasteful and is properly put in spoilers with a NSFW tag on it.

Though, even if it did have to be PG, I'd still be on board. Lament's Succubus might not have the blatant nudity Symphony's does, but she's still a good Succubus (possibly better since she's a bit less generic than Red is).

Has no one suggested creating a new female member of the Belmont clan?
With a quick back story included.

While I must commit my time to other things, I would get out my popcorn and watch that shit.

So it's either a PG-13 Succubus or a female Belmont.
Which one would it be? Cast your vote on the poll.

I'll keep the candelabras in mind.

Since the theme is being decided on the poll, may I ask what do you guys think should be the pixel size of the female sprite? (Please give me specific numbers, I don't want to count the sprite sheet for X game and so on)

Hmm... Maybe as tall as Julius for max height?
