Contest #24: Spriting Tournament

[Silverthorn]

Alright, as you can see, the results are in!

The entries, sorted by the vote-counts:

1st: Anon 2:
2nd: Anon 1:
3rd: Anon 3:
4th: @JoHo15:
5th: @Arcane:

These five will advance to round 2! Details will be specified below and in the first post!

Also, I would like to thank @AmadisLFE and @A-Man for giving it a shot! Maybe next time!


So, without further ado, let's announce the theme of round 2, shall we? There's a surprise...

Requirements (Round 2):

• Create a new sprite according to the theme: MYTHOLOGY
  
• Size: double-sized (160px or 200px).
  
• You may create several individuals interacting with each other (up to 3).
  
• Animations are not required but are welcome.
  
• One entry per participant.
  
• The top 5 of round 1 are eligible to enter and are set for the popular vote. The best 3 will advance to the final round 3.
  However, there is an exception. Others may create an entry as well; there is a chance that one of the extra-participants may reach round 3 as well (yielding potentially 4 participants then). The conditions for that are as follows:
  • There are at least 2 extra-submissions. The participant with the greater number of votes will eliminate all other extra-entries.
    Example: Anon 4, 5, and 6 joined in. Anon 4 got 4 votes, 5 got 5, 6 got 6. In that case, Anons 4 and 5 would be out.
    
  • In the poll, the extra-entry must score higher than the third place of the round 1-winners.
    Example: let's assume Anon 1 had 10 votes, Anon 2 had 9, and Anon 3 had 8 votes. The extra-entry would then need at least 9 votes to advance to round 3. Anons 1, 2, & 3 would nevertheless advance to round 3.
    
  • The two that dropped out of round 1 may enter as well. For the vote, they will fall into the extra-group. Additionally, they will retain the number of votes from round 1 in addition to any extra ones from round 2.
    Example: @AmadisLFE participated again and got 5 votes on his entry. Together with the 3 votes from the last round, he would have a total of 8 votes.
    
• Post your entry in this thread. If you wish to remain anonymous during submission- and voting-phase, you may as well send the entry to me via Private Message; I will then add your name after you either drop out or when the contest ends.
  

Please submit your entries before Sunday, March 12^th!!
