I've been put it charge of SOTW #5, so here we go.

These are the final rules! No other adjustments will be made.

TOPIC: Sprites

Details: This includes any sprite you want from any video game. I know that megaman sprites are easy to come by, for example (theres a site devoted to them).

WTF is a sprite?: "... a sprite (also known by other names; see Synonyms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_%28computer_graphics%29#Synonyms) below) is a two-dimensional image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image) or animation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation) that is integrated into a larger scene. Sprites were originally invented as a method of quickly compositing several images together in two-dimensional video games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game) ..."
-Wikipedia.org

There you have it. Examples:

(A Megaman "sprite sheet")

A Sprite sig:

My sig; NOT MY ENTRY.SIZE: 415 x 135

DEADLINE:Next Thursday; November 9 @ 12:00 PM EST. No submissions over this time will be accepted!

VOTING: Begins on November 9 @ 12:01 PM. Will end Monday @ 12:00PM.

Remember that I can only receive 10 entries. If I get at least 10 more (which I doubt it), I will set up the voting in two topics, but I'd rather not do that. Once you've entered your sig, you cannot revoke it! If it does not fit the guidelines, you will be disqualified.

Is this any anime or only ones in manga comics?

Well if it is an anime without a manga, I guess you can still enter it. What anime were you thinking of btw?

None just wondering. I think anime is too broad. Should be a series atleast.

What should I do then. I wanna include manga, but how should I narrow it down?

None just wondering. I think anime is too broad. Should be a series atleast.

Well depends. The broader the subject, the more creativity a person is entitled to. The more it's narrowed, the harder that person is pushed to do something new.

Maybe you should narrow anime to one series, manga to one series, and comics to one series.

Like this.

Anime: Magical Shopping Arcade ABENOBASHI
Manga: Bleach
Comics: X-Men

I am in, i will start from scath(if i can find I cannot find a good render)

edit: take it back, i found a good one

Ok check what I have now. Is that good?

sounds good to me. i think im making a naruto sig. sasuke? is that from naruto, i hate anime, so i dont know. never watched one in my life.Lol yeah sasukes from naruto. You can also do superman!....?

ehh, i already started oh well

this is what i have so far....

Ah, anime, my most hated form of cartoons and animations...

Well, i won't be participating, so good luck to everyone else.

Funny, I talk about it like it matters that i don't take part...

I'd presume the regulars will win, just have to watch I presume...

yeah i hate it too, but i wanna WIN!!!!!!!!

This is stupid. We should be able to do any anime. Count me out.

Ok HOLD ON. I'm going to redo this. So what should the topic be?? I asked this before but hardly anyone responded, which is why I picked one. So should it just be manga/anime? Or comics/anime? Or something else? I'm going to make a new topic and request this one to be deleted.

There is no point in a new topic. This is why we have an edit button. Make it all anime, all manga. All comics. This will be fun. Better yet.. make it ANIMATION. So much shit goes under that. That means some more people will be happier, so they don't absolutely HAVE to do anime. Kk? Kk.

why are you changing the topic?

why are you changing the topic?Because a few people seem to have a problem with it and on second thought, I don't,think it's that great either. If enough people like it I guess I'll keep it...

noooooo! please, please, PLEASE!!!! I think this is an aoverused theme! try something new, like you wanted us to do for sotw 4!!

KCBlack,
do whatever theme YOU want to do.
My idea of SotW is to see how people adjust to different themes.
Allowing pretty much ANYTHING (Like Kultfire said)
doesnt really have much of a point to it.
the best way (IN MY OPINION) is to have the same theme and style for everyone.
HERES WHY.
It's hard to judge two COMPLETELY different things.
If you went up to someone on the street and said,
Which is better,
this monkey or this pie?
theres too many things to consider.
too many variables.
"Well the monkey would be more playful.. but the pie would taste good.. however the monkey is cute.." and so on.

(Wow that was rant-ish..)
Long story short,
do what YOU want to do,
You cant always make everyone happy,
and thats not the idea behind SotW's.
If a couple people dont like the theme you picked,
THEY DONT NEED TO ENTER.
they can wait till next week.

yeah, I'd still do the current theme, but I'td just be the same old.

Thanks Halfblackk. And with that, the final theme is Sprites. Any sprites you want from any video game. I will make this adjustment to the first post.

thanks, u only did that cause u know i started already, kareem!

I was just started making a batman signature. XO

I was just started making a batman signature. XOLol sorry bout that. I promise this will be the final change.

Wow I just relized that sentence made no sence at all, "I was just started making". It's okay sprites are cool. :D Their unique.

Yup, which was my aim for making the topic. I see very few to no sprite sigs around here. Also, if anyone is unclear on what a sprite is, I've clarified it in the first post.

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p170/dorosi/sotw5v4edit.jpg

That looks sweet, good job.

Yeah TehRice! Very nice!

Thx sniff:( haven't been complimented much......ever...

(not making a new thread to show it cause... well I don't wanna hear comments good or bad(especially gigabit's comments)

http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/7940/roybahhhto2.gif

I hate Imageready..

Nice try..
too twitchy though.

I acually like him moving like that, makes him look angry. If there was acually a background to go with it, it would have been my favorite.

Haha thanks guys. I tried lol.. Imageready just hates me. I had to make do, because all the side windows you're supposed to have... weren't there. I tried EVERYTHING to get them back. I don't know what happened. So it was MUCH too hard to add a background afterwards lol.

Edit: I also don't know how to center everything in the exact same spot.. :(

Edit: I also don't know how to center everything in the exact same spot.. :( Lol Imageready is annoying. But if you added a background, yours would be like one of the best sigs here. Though you can't change a submission once you entered so it doesn't matter. XD

Are you shitting me? You guys have retarded rules, no offense. You should be able to edit your damn sigs. Improve on them. We should be able to delete them or whatever, and try again... ahh well..

Yeah though, Imageready really is a bitch.. lol.. and I did have a background, it just didn't work properly.. because Imageready is a bitch. Haha.

Actually you could've made a thread, then get some comments. Then improve it abit then you can post your sig here.

Ahh well, whatever. Next time.

Actually you could've made a thread, then get some comments. Then improve it abit then you can post your sig here.Exactly. The reason I didn't allow revisions is because I don't want a whole bunch of posts like "here's my sig; o WAIT here it is!; no the edit; ok ok final ver.!". Lol but yeah you should've just started a topic outside of the contest.

Well I know that now, lol. Thanks. I'll laugh if I still win, haha. I won't but.. if I did, I'd laugh. Even though i'm not going to..

Can we make our own sprites? :Pffft: >_>

Of course you can, it will just take longer.
