Introduction
Spriting is defines as the art of making pixel art of characters usually for 2-D games, like Fire Emblem. And in this tournament, we will be testing our fellow forumers skills at making mugshots.

Format
This tournament will be held in a Double-Elimination format. Contestants will be randomly paired with each other using an RNG and judges will be assigned to give a theme for the round.

Rounds will last for one week. During that time, contestants may post their sprites and/or request critique as long as they post the final version of their sprite on this thread.

Brackets will be decided when I feel we have enough contestants.

Scoring
During judging, 3 judges will give their scores for each sprite, out of 10. The spriter with the higher score will be the winner of the round.

Sample round
Theme: Make a male Sacaean swordmaster.

LionsLight109:

Judge 1: Impressive. Shading on the left arm's off, though. 9/10
Judge 2: Pretty darn good. I want a jacket like that. 10/10
Judge 3: Excellent. I can't even recognise the parts. 10/10
Total : 29/30

Darktiger333:

Judge 1: Ick. Face's broken. It doesn't even match the theme. 0/10
Judge 2: It may be mostly custom, but it still sucks. Sorry. 1/10
Judge 3: I think even Franzerk would be disappointed. 0/10
Total : 1/30

LionsLight109 wins.

Okay, I'm looking for at least 8 people before I make matches. I also want 5 competent judges with some experience in spriting or judging sprites. Contestants can also be judges but they may not pick themes or judge their own matches.
