For coming first, you will be given 3 points, which are added to the scoreboard. For coming second, you receive 2 points. For coming third, you will get 1 point.
Any sprite graded from A- or higher will be added to the Hall Of Fame.

Rules
To ensure that this competition runs smoothly, we have to lay down the law.
Just some rules you need to read before doing anything, so let's get this out of the way.


  • Sprites, Dungeons etc MUST be submitted in .PNG or .GIF format. If you submit sprites in any other format, not only does it ruin the quality, but it'll get you disqualified.

  • Do not enter more that one sprite unless stated in the round. If you do enter more that one sprite per round, the first sprite you entered will be judged.

  • Make sure the Sprite follows the theme, if it does not follow the theme the sprite will be disqualified.

  • Flamming, Spamming and other disturbances will not go unpunished. If you are caught, you will either get a warning or get banned, depending on the severity.

  • Please only give critique if the creator asks for it. Make sure you give constructive comments and constructive criticism so the creator can take that into consideration.

  • If you edit your post you will be automatically disqualified. This is to prevent people from changing their sprite. If you must add something or forgot to type something, this will be the only time you will be allowed to double post.

  • Stealing will not be tolerated. If you steal a sprite you will get a ban from the Darkness Contest depending on the severity.

    Current Round: Names
    Using the first letter of your real name and the last letter of your real name, find a Pokemon that begins with both of those letters and fuse them together.Using your favourite colour, recolour the final product.
    If you want more of a description, please don't hesitate to PM Jazz or The Killing Light.

    Oh, I totally forgot, and I went on a massive road trip today, I was supposed to come home about 4 hours ago. I'll do it first thing tomorrow.
    Edit: Judging.



    Judging Time!

    Luxor007

    [B] Now what do I have to say about this sprite? Well first off the shading seems to be coming from a different direction then normal, it should be coming from top-left, down to the bottom-right, shading is a problem that most people screw up when making Pokemon sprites. Secondly the sprite is quite well done, except their seems to be a lack of black outlining on the 'Drum STicks', the Drum Sticks would look better and your sprite could of got a much more substantial grade, then what you have now, if you added a bit more of the black outline. I don't have much else to say about this sprite, but it has been done quite well, and I believe it deserves this grade, good luck on your next sprite.

    Megamaster37

    [C+] You might not be over-ally pleased by looking at your grade to the left, but it was hard to place this sprite, mainly because the other sprites had been done quite well. Ok, first off, this sprite looks ok, but it seems extremely plain, and you should of added a bit more detail, maybe a necklace or something, just something to make it look like it isn't just a recolored Team Galatic person. The shading is ok, although there could of been more shading on the mask, just to improve it's quality, not much more I can say about this sprite, but that you have to remember to take time with your sprite, if it isn't up to your standards don't submit it right away, keep working on it until it is up to your standards, and I'm sure you'll get a higher grade.

    Pheonyx

    [B+] This is obviously my favourite of this round, it looks quite good, the shading is done quite well, and you've even added quite a bit of detail, unlike someother entries withing this round. First off, the lines on the arms could of been shaded a bit lighter, so it dosen't look like the arm has been chopped up into sections, but that is only real problem I have with this sprite, it looks quite good and for your time, it has won this round, congratulations Pheonix.

    Placings
    1st- Pheonix
    2nd- Luxor007
    3rd- Megamaster37

    Ok, I've done the judging for you guys, but this contest is pretty much dead.

    sorry for being impatient, but wasn't judging yesterday??

    Sep 22, 09 07:21PMwilson7555


    If you guys can wait until the 26th, I'll judge, then I might request closure of this thread, mainly because it has always been quite inactive even when I had started it.
    So yeah, wait and I'll judge for you guys.

    Unless Jazz or one of the judges says otherwise or actually does the judging within a week(28th September) I guess I'll judge.

      Ehmmm yeah. About that. Heh. If you want truths, PM me and ask for them.


    Sep 09, 09 05:28PMbgg1996


    That won't help...

    Jazz was on at the fifth, but the killing light hasn't been on since August 24th.

    Either Jazz needs to get on and judge, or someone else needs to judge.


    Sep 09, 09 04:11PMMegamaster37


    Might a Round-Up help to get judging done earlier?
