Voting Rules:
- You are allowed to vote for up to two entries
- You may not vote for your own entry
- You have approximately one week to vote. The voting period will end no sooner than 11:59 PM Central Time, April 20th. The cutoff time is whenever I'm able to tally the votes, so you have a little wiggle room here, but don't dawdle just because you think you'll have time later.
Spoiler : Original Post :
Luck o' the Irish
Top o' the mornin' to you all. Given how close it is to St. Patrick's Day, I thought I'd give you an Irish themed competition. 'Tis here where you'll be seein' entries like Edgeworth as a wee leprechaun or Dahlia as a banshee. Perhaps you could even submit an original sprite based on the theme.
Sure, you could take the easy route and just do a palette swap to change someone's clothes to green, but that hardly requires any effort at all, so put a wee bit o' your heart and soul into your entries! I would also encourage a wee bit o' research into Irish folklore to get some ideas.
The Rules:
-Entries must be more than a simple palette swap. And don't enter Young!Winston Payne, Lotta Hart, Cody Hackins, Ron DeLite, or Drew Misham without making some extra edits. They are already wearing green, after all.
-Tell us what your sprite is based off of. Is supposed to be a leprechaun? St. Patrick? We won't know unless you tell us.
-If the idea behind your entry is a little more on the obscure side, link a wikipedia article about it.
-Do not use spoiler sprites of GK2.
Deadline:
Starting today you have a month to create your entries and submit them. So you have until April 12th, 11:59 PM, U.S. Central Time.

lol i'm so new to the forums
Nah, winner of a sprite competition is in charge of hosting the NEXT sprite competition. So you wanna host, ya gotta win (or be runner-up to someone that doesn't want to host I guess but you get my point).
Also I'll try to do a thing for this when I have an idea.
