WAR

[Marshall]

seeing the names joining 13thzone so far, there need not be a war anyway because we all know which side is gonna win

The following would be key:
YinYin
Chishio
Luti
Betit
Timmie

assuming the latter three joins LFE, then it could be something.
BP and Reaper are almost certainly joining LFE of course...

13thzone is pretty much dead right now. And the fact that Harle is gone doesn't help. As you have already noticed, there are too many participants on LFE side, to rule out the newbies would be harsh and unjust. I suggest making a tournament. Everyone who wants to participate, state your name, that you're in, or vote in the poll, then someone write down the names on pieces of paper, mix them up and choose the names while not looking, pair them up, each of the pair's winner progresses further to the top until only one is left. The voting system could be on one poll, you choose one from the pair that you think is better and vote. Pretty simple, effective and fair. What do you think about doing it this way?

Well this was supposed to be a teamwork thingy, but I like the idea of a 'sprite tournament', too.

Edit:
Do it this way:

yes, tournament sounds like an excelent idea, drawing 2 pieces of paper will be totaly random so no one will complain that its a war between expirienced only...

Besides id like to get drawn againt a ramdom guy, that makes it exciting

[Jahvansi]

so if it's not supossed to be for experienced spriters only i would like to join 2

[klodasmone]

Let's set a date. Everyone who wants to participate - vote in the poll until 20th of May. In the meantime, you can suggest spriting themes, which too will be drawn by luck, for the competition. Though I sense that there will be a lot of wins by default, because of mysteriously empty entries, or maybe that's just the homunculus cynic talking in my brain. But let's hope for the best.

[Chishio]

If we are still down for this. I am going to have to side with the 13th zone (if they will still have me after my extended absence...).

[klodasmone]

Instead of doing the pile of homework that I have, I decided to procrastinate and bring some order, call out from the shadows other spriters and come up with some themes.

23 22 in total. If you’d like to withdraw – state so. Also, I’d like to hear an answer (to the question: joining or not?) from:

Trickity
YinYin
Marshall
BP
Betit
SirFrog

As for the themes, it’s actually pretty hard to come up with something original. My suggestions don’t sway away too much from what was already seen in the sprites sub-forum.

Anthropomorphism,
or simply animal’s (head, tail, etc.) and man’s (two legged, two handed, etc.) fusion. Examples include a minotaur, a Medusa, etc.

Bikini,
because I think that nude (one of the most popular Art themes) is frowned upon here. Simply, a naked man’s or woman’s figure, of course, covered with something, from bikini to grass, to etc.

Angels and Demons.
Pretty explanatory in itself, unlike the book. You can draw inspiration from the Bible, because that’s what started the fad.

Historical heroes,
as in real-life counter-parts of real historical figures. Cleopatra, Napoleon, etc.

Self-portrait,
or you as a little fighter. Some have done it before, even made full characters, so I think this should be interesting.

Humor,
a funny pose, ridiculous body or face, everything what you would consider comedical in one sprite.

Six themes should suffice, unless you have complaints and declare a better one.

@up
Idea looks cool

About list: chase123 is not anymore (see his profile: last visit a month ago).
:I think there should be other members of 13zone who don't have account here and so can not post.

About topics: self-portrait should replaced with a random face-pic.I mean just to make a face-pic,not your real one.(we have a thread for drawing your self-portrait see here)

[klodasmone]

The preparations are being made. I still need to root out all the inactive participants, replace them with new ones, get some nice descriptions of themes and some examples for them, and so on and on. In the meantime, you can familiarize yourself with the tournament chart. Also, I drew some sketchy promotional art. Also also... Glad to see that betit joined, as did BP. Also also also... Does anyone know if Gad is coming back? I'll probably have to cross him out. One way or the other, all hell will break loose on May the 21st.
