No Larger than 27 pixels (Width) X 43 pixels (Height) seems about right at 72 ppi.

I don't think we need to impose a size limit, just a style limit. If we say "make it fit SotN/DS titles style" then the size limits itself.

I was thinking the same thing. I personally think it would be interesting to make a rule of not using any pre existing cv styles. Perhaps borrowing a style from a different game, like a street fighter or something like that and using that as a rule would make this more of a fresh challenge.

I would love to see some more versatility in these contests.

You mean like this month's contest that everyone is ducking?

The borrowing idea is a good one...

Don't restrict, let people do their stuff. After all, if the judges prefer original stuff over re-used spirites, that may influence the participants.

Less restrictions = more people like likely participate.

Reasonable restrictions make people think outside the box, or have to work outside their comfort zone. Participation numbers don't mean terribly much if nobody involved learns something new or improves what they have.

So what's the final verdict on the size? Free for all?

[Dracula9]

I'd say so. Visual style would likely define the proper size.

[darkmanx_429]

lol which one?

Keep it up D9....

[Belmontoya]

My idea would be to have the contest be designing a new female Belmont character for a dark stalkers cameo.

That's a very familiar style. It's different. And the sprite could be used in mame or something.

Take it or leave it. That's what I would like to watch.

[Dracula9]

Keep it up D9....

Keep what up? Both the sprite and music contests have been sorely ignored.

I was being sarcastic dude, I agree with you completely....

[Shiroi Koumori]

The theme for next month's contest is to create a female Belmont sprite.
There are no restrictions to this but please state which visual style you're using.
All agree?
