A new event! Character sprites!

[Rand]

Come one, come all, and hear my evil scheme. I hereby declare that we of The Hunting Grounds are officially sponsoring a new event. This event involves creating a character sprite set, completely original (no edits) that you'd envision of your perfect icon set for whatever class you pick. Male, Female, I don't care which it is. It can be any nation, also. The rules are as follows:

-- No edits, as stated previously. All work must be original.
-- The minimum size for these must be 40x40, with the maximum of being 64x64
-- Nothing allowed that breaks any of the normal server rules.
--Animation in your sprites are not required but definitely encouraged.
-- Be creative! Want your sprite to have a battle victory animation? Give it something a little closer-sounding to it's own class or nation!

This event shall run until February. Why so long, you ask? Because art takes time and I don't want some people to feel left out because they were gone for a week or two.

The current prize list is as follows for one deemed the true artist of them all...

Either 1,000 gold on the character, or a 5% experience boost, of their choice. This is subject to change or addition.

Thank you, and have fun!

[Sur Realis]

But does the winner's creation be put into the game? Are they given a job? =P

[Jumin]

.... 5% experience boost??? omg i wish i knew how to make sprites now...

[Rand]

That kind of information, Romashi, is for me to know. Maybe, maybe not.

[Kyou]

So, how do we submit an entry?

[lordphoenix]

I see wut u did thar. I should so try this.

[Rand]

Entries may be submitted to me via MSN or AIM, both should appear on my profile. This'll teach you all to look in there, too.

Hello, my words must be brief as my time in online is a figment of my imagination. About the only time i get to get on, trying to write to the many new topics that have been made. Basically, i hope i will be active by February so that i too may join in this exciting event. I will try to make one and look forward to seeing the winner, good luck to everyone! =)

Well I've submitted my entry to Rand already. (Although I've edited since then.) I really hope I win and maaaaayyyybbbbeee get to use what I've created as the my icon in-game. But that's just me hoping. *wink wink nudge nudge hint hint*

[Rand]

Sorry, bud, but that we cannot do. If the Brotherhood ourselves can't edit our icons...

[Thornreaper]

Publicity stunt for the masses? What a shame because I actually have a BUNCH of FFTHG sprite pre-made etc. I've worked on them for a while (You know... What is it now.. almost 3 or 4 years or something?) and even showed some BH homedogs them during the v8 stages.

It's also a shame that that harddrive is currently in a computer that is non-operational....

You're all lucky... lol.

[Rand]

You're welcome to send me whatever you like anyway.

Hey Rand!

Who won the sprite art contest!?? Eager minds want to know!

Will you post the art of the winner for all to see?? ;D

[Rand]

I never said it's over yet! I may as well though. I've gotten more responses asking a question about laundry on Wsay before.

[froozen]

Weeell. Up at the top in your first post you said it would be until February so I figured that meant that it would end at the beginning of February. I know that it was subject to change but since nothing has been posted stating a change I figured I'd ask.

[Takahashi]

...or it could mean until February in the sense of 'until it's no longer February'. That would also qualify as a valid interpretation.

[froozen]

Not really you posting fool!

[deathguise]

Well, it's almost the end of February. Let's hope the winner is announced soon.

[Rand]

I'm expanding the time limit another month since I barely got anything. And let's try to keep the size requirements in mind this time?

[Sur Realis]

You people make Nate sad by not submitting! >=(

[deathguise]

I've already submitted my entry to Rand, and last time I checked, they met the requirements.

Explain yourself. Who the hell do you think you're talking to?

[Rand]

Since no one else has even asked me about this, let alone sent something, I'm declaring a winner. I'll admit I got more than I thought I would, though I'm still a bit disappointed. Anyway. After careful examination, it's obvious who wins this crown.

Enni, your submission of the blackbelt was both humourous and inventive. I name you winner of my contest.

[Sur Realis]

Congratulations, Enni.

About time something happened concerning this contest. :3

Mew, and I thought Realis would've asked if there was a Second Place Prize. =3

Congratulations to you, Enni~! ^^

[Sur Realis]

Lulz, Hikari-mascot. Normally I would have but this contest was just so long I'm glad it's over. =P

[Hikari]

I think it was also a fairly long Contest, but I think it's also nice that it's ended. But normally there are many Contests in general that take forever to end, so compared to others, I don't think it was really that long~! =3

I am glad the event took place; especially since the result was not foreseen. I congratulate Enni on my behalf, and upon seeing your icon, the BB wasnt what i pictured, but i did like the various modes. Beauty, as Talent, is in the eyes of the beholder so i applaud this fantastic , and thrilling competition. BTW, i enjoyed seeing the "Merry bandmess" and "Stu rocks". Until the next event, hope to see who else gets discovered..Farewell
