Considering that this is gonna be freestyle, do we really need a 2x sprite for the higher-res ones (e.g. Guilty Gear X's style)?
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

I wouldn't think so.

The 2x ones are for those in the Castlevania portable games style. I'll make clarifications on the rules post.

mmm I have 3 questions:

1) I can use a Character make by another person? In Devian I make a female Belmont from the idea from a person from devian and I want to know if this is okey or not? obviously I send a note to that person if its okey to use his work in this contest and for now she told me she is going to think about.

2)I say it I will lose the surprise factor but I need to know this, Can I use a Female Belmont that exist but only appear and have like 3 sprites and never battle? the persons that see my Deviant perhaps know of the character I want to use and I know its will be not create the character but its something I want to know if its okey, im going to put in spoiler the character I want to use:

(click to show/hide)

3) in this contest is not a limit of entries?

Thanks to god Im thinking in another Ideas in case this dont get accepted.

@Belmontoya: Thanks!

@Jop:
1) Yes, as long as that person grants your request.
2) Well, since this is a free for all, and her sprite sheet is incomplete, yeah you may use her. But I think you have to change a bit of her sprite to make her "your" version.
3) If you want to submit a lot of entries, fine, go for it. Each one would be judged individually, as per usual.

I need 2 more judges!!!

I might be willing to judge...I'm still thinking though.  On one hand, I don't want to "hog" the position.  Also, I wouldn't mind participating in another contest.  On the other hand however, I've been busy with work and kid, and for this contest I don't have the slightest idea what to do/where to go with it -- am wondering if I should maybe research some more, do some simpler stuff (perhaps just post it in the sprite forum for feedback?).  Maybe I can consider which way I want to play it for another day or few?

I don't mean "hold a place for me" but rather, "If I can wait and get back to you shortly, and if (at that point) a place is still available..."

@darkmanx: The poll will either be the 3rd or 4th judge depending on the number of people who would volunteer.
@Android: Ok, I'll wait.

BTW, people can still volunteer for judging even if the contest is nearing completion, as long as they haven't submitted an entry and there are still judging slots left.

Thanks, I'll take that as a complement!

I didn't want to stray too far from the style that has already been established...
