This competition consists in creating a sprite of a legendary or mythological character. In other words, your character will be a creature (like a dragon...), a mythological god, or hero (like Merlin the Magician, Ulysses, etc...)

You need to post the sprite here, as well as the name of the legendary or mythological character you have chosen. You can post the story of the character if you want.

Your entries have to respect the site's rules, including what qualifies as appropriate, what qualifies as spoilers, and what clarifies as plagiarism.

In Polish folklore, Skarbnik (Treasurer) is an underground spirit who inhabits mines. He's a shapeshifter that can change into a mouse, spider, dog, frog, fly or even a horse. Usually, he appears in a form of white-bearded old man man with a lantern in his hand. Skarbnik is the guardian of mines and protects miners from danger and leads them back when they are lost. He rewards the good, hard-working and honest people by leading them to gems, crystals and veins of ore. However, he does not tolerate people who are lazy or greedy. Skarbnik can be very vengeful towards those who insult him and don't pay him proper respect - he punishes those wretches by pushing them into dark chasms or even sends tunnels crashing down upon them. He's also said to be a ruler of the souls of miners who died in the mines.

Any creature from any mythology is okay, right? Can I do a character inspired by a mythology rather than specifically being a character from it?

Just ask a moderator to move it to the main Your Art section. This subforum is just for past comps.

Haha, great theme! If most of the entries follow the ompetition host's example sprite (Merlin the magician), I feel that somebody here in AAO should make a case called "The Live Action D&D Roleplaying Turnabout". I want to see what happens.

Majority of that sprite is a custom sprite by MercurialSK, so I don't think you can just add a book and call it your own work... Maybe draw Athena from scratch?

I'm not a very good spriter (this took me two hours :yogi: ) If it's not admissible as an entry it's OK. It's up to Phoenix Ace Attorney, right?
