Crap, I actually forgot all about this.....DG is in trouble now. I won't be able to get those prizes done today and the First Place winner is going to prove a problem for me. Oh boy, I got serious work ahead of me.

again the same, last place

SanjiSasuke · « **Reply #6 on:** July 30, 2012, 10:28:00 PM »

Ramza, I think the only thing that went wrong this time is that your entry was mostly considered to not be a 'sprite'. Pixel art normally needs a ton of shading work, etc to win. (see Warner's entries) To be honest I liked the scene.

My entry was actually only half of my original idea. It was also supposed to have the Hobo League of America, too, complete with a Batman with a ski-mask/rope-belt, etc and a ripped-up patchwork costume Superman.
Still, happy to win my first contest with enough entrants to count.

This was a funny theme, I liked all the entries. Congratz everyone.

To be honest, that Captain Homeless sprite of mine is my rushed work. I tried my best to finish it good. I was without a laptop so I didn't sprite because my charger was not working anymore and my laptop's battery dies fast when I leave it unplugged. By the time you (Spidermew) posted we needed to finish it before deadline, that's when I started to sprite for a few hours and uploaded mine before I got to bed. Glad I entered. But now I'm the first person receiving the second place and a silver.

My favorite is hobo spiderman, its fun and inteligent, well linked to the theme... Captain Homeless came good its so original, who could plan to make a Captain Commando sprite art...
The captain america with SNK hair and all sprites with ripped clothes, ehm I dont saw any original idea in, but it won maybe cuz... Avengers movie had a good marketing

I think this contest could have unlimited entrys by users, or 2 per user, cuz theres low spriters/pixel artists that attend the same contest... Sometimes one user can have 2 good ideas

At first, I thought Shadaloo did that Ghetto Avengers till the winners were announced and in which, it turned to be SanjiSasuke himself.

By the way, did you guys notice I edited the baby's face? If you want to see both the baby and the cage I made individually, I can show them to you here.

sure your sprite entry is very original, well done

Alright contest winners, I apologize for the delay, but here are your prizes. The Golden Star Sword is awarded to SanjiSasuke. The Silver Badge goes to Enzo. Last but not least the Bronze Badge goes to Laspacho. Again, sorry for being late my Photoshop went on the fritz and of course there was cutting out of sprites which I wish would have not been necessary. These are not of the quality they should be, but they were a pain to do. And with that I bow out of these contest prizes, I just don't have the time or willingness to do them. I'll probably just give the templates to SpiderMew then he or someone else can do these up from now on.

Wow....

Enso · « **Reply #14 on:** August 03, 2012, 07:59:43 AM »

I think you got the wrong spelling but it's okay. Mine is Enso though. I'm fine with that spelling. When I first got to register, I was going to use the name Enzo but it was taken. I planned to use the name Enzo from a character from a 3D TV show called Reboot.

I might use my sprite as my avatar.

Darkgargos · « **Reply #15 on:** August 03, 2012, 08:10:41 AM »

I apologize for the misspelling, it should be fixed now however. Had to fix it twice now, I caught it saying third place instead of second place. I had to rush these together and so they may be all messed up and of very low quality so again I'm very sorry.

I know I and even SpiderMew promised you guys these awesome prizes and I failed to deliver on that. I understand if you are all disappointed or upset, I just couldn't deliver what was promised. But to be fair, I made these quickly and I was restricted in what I could do with them. If I had all the time in the world and complete freedom to go crazy with these then they would have turned out better, but I already made you guys wait long enough and I wanted to get these to you.

So sorry, and that's why I'm not going to be doing these anymore. Hope everyone can forgive me.

It's okay. Everybody has their own times.

I put that shield as my avy.

What's so original about my sprite?

Darkgargos · « **Reply #17 on:** August 03, 2012, 08:50:42 AM »

I'm still sorry that I wasn't able to truly deliver what was promised. You don't have to use the avatar for my sake, if it's not to your liking then don't use it and I'm ok with people being upset with me or just hating the outcome of the prizes. So much for being a Photoshop Wizard....can't even make avatars right.

I'm just done with this sort of thing, I just can't do it. *goes over to the corner and cries*

Well, at least SpiderMew is happy with the outcome. Thank you, I did what I could.

Dude quit freaking crying. God dammit! So what if it ain't your best. We ain't damn machines. Ain't no perfection. Besides art comes from the heart. If your heart ain't in it then it will show. But still this may be bad for you but its miles ahead of other people can do. Also who care if they don't like it what matters is if you like it and had fun doing it. we all have bad days. I'm not proud of everything do produce but NEVER lower my head. You have no reason to EVER hang your head or doubt your self. Your one of the most talented people I met online good sir. Take it easy. I'll see you around the net.

If yall want tho I don't fully support this contest I'll do the avys. Its only three a month.....
