I might run an alternative sprite contest if anyone would be up for it.

I love seeing what different ideas you guys come up with in your sprites. ^~^

In regards to this contest, I'm sorry about how it turned out. Ultimately Bisharp had the complete say in how the contest was to run, and with him being absent/busy it was difficult to put into action. I guess you guys can either compete in a new contest when its up, or if BB comes back, try to continue with this one again.
