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.

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.

Judging by the other entry submitted I think just one static sprite.

I might try this! I just have no ideas at the moment...

One static sprite is all you need. Although, if you want to make a full set, that's cool.

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.
