Before anything, I'd like to thank all entrants for their impressive work : 13 full-fledged characters is more than I hoped for, and the quality is certainly there.
It's also good to see entries both from the English and French section together - we don't have that many opportunities for joint events !
Anyway, the time has come to select the winner of that competition. As usual, this will be determined by a public vote.
But because the overall quality is so high, it may be hard for everyone to pick just one favourite - that's why this time I will allow every member to elect up to three entries.
The judging will take place as follows :
- In the poll above, you can vote for your three favourite entries. The poll will run for 7 days (ending on August 23rd).
Don't forget to check all the poses for each entry - they can be found by clicking the entry's name in the poll.
Since the aim of the competition is to add new characters to the editor, you may want to keep in mind the following points when voting :
- Does the entry look good enough to be featured in the editor, alongside official sprites ?
- Does the entry match the theme ? Does the character inspire trust ?
- Does the entry have an original personality ? Does the entry feature an original style, or original poses ? - The runner ups will be the three entries with the most votes, and one entry that I will pick personally (Unas's choice ! ), which may or may not be part of the three entries elected by the people.
This will give either 3 or 4 runner-ups that will be included in the editor's default database. - The winner will be the entry with most votes. (I will settle the ties if any)
The author of the entry will earn the "Trustworthy spriter" forum title.
