The Contest of Randomness

๑๑๑ The Spriting Contest of Randomness ๑๑๑

I'm starting another contest because I can :P


๑ Overview ๑

Every week, ten contestants participate in a series of challenges that I give. The worst performing contestant after each challenge will be eliminated. For the first two challenges, four of the worst performing contestants will be cut. Single elimination rounds begin by Challenge 3. Those who fail to turn in their entries are disqualified.

The top three last users standing will be given trophies.

The challenges will consist of four random Pokemon sprites I will post from a random generator. Your goal is to fuse them together into one sprite. And send them to ME THROUGH A PRIVATE MESSAGE!

However, I'll be giving a twist. These twists can include themes, holidays, or a certain type of spriting style. Big points are given to those who can take advantage of the twist to its greatest value within the sprite. So be on guard so what I may throw at you!


๑ Judging ๑

Judges: Me, Intel, and {none}

Three judges (including me) will be grading based on creativity, skill, and originality. A number out of ten (the average of our three scores out of ten) will be presented to you during judging day after a weekly challenge.

All three of us will be offering commentary to why we gave you that score. We'll have the typical "first place to last place" order in one post. And at the bottom of the page, I'll be declaring an official announcement of who is eliminated for that week.

Forms to be a judge are available below. Those who apply must post three quality sprites that show their best work. I'll decide then.

YAY MOAR PEOPLE!


I have a question. Let's say the ten spots don't get filled. If we morph into our alter-egos and then sign up as them, does that count as more people?

xDD

Yeah it has been slightly irritating me on why we don't have more people. I wish spriting was bigger here. It somewhat makes me disappointed :( I even posted an announcement not long ago encouraging people to join. I'll start the contest once two to three more people sign up. Until then we have to wait, I'll try making more members aware of this thread's existence.

Mkay. :] I think, I dunno...it seems people these days aren't as interested in spriting and art in general as they used to be. Same with writing stories. Back when Pe2k still existed and was active a few years ago, the sprite section was filled to the brim with spriters who posted and sprited daily, and the story section introduced a new story every few days, which was amazing. But now if people go there and post things, it's rare that things will get read or critiqued, which is sad. :c Then again, we don't have that many active members so I suppose it's just a lack of traffic at this point.

Kinda reminds me of Pokestadium. Go there about 5 months back and the pokecreator would be full to the brim with new creations. Now all it takes to get #1 weekly is 20 or 30 likes, which is kinda pathetic. Don't ask me how Johan feels now that his site is kind of a dead website. Hardly anyone ever even goes there anymore.
