Thread: The Official PolitiSprite Contest!

This competition will officially end at 12:00 PM U.S. Central Time on October 13, 2010.

The Ultimate Test of a Spriter's Skills... Can You Sprite... A POLITICAL FIGURE?

All forms of Spriting are acceptable, this includes:

• Scratches
• Recolors
• Splices (That Would Be Interesting)
  

Only one entry per participant will be accepted, but the thread will be reviewed prior to judging, so you may edit your post to include a new entry if you wish to replace your existing entry anytime prior to 12:00 PM U.S. Central Time on the final day of the contest. Posts shown to be edited after this time will not be eligible for judging.

The Criteria On Which Entries Will Be Judged:

• Creativity/Originality
• How Well Your Sprite Resembles Your Political Figure
• Recognizability (Don't Choose Someone Nobody's Heard Of)
• Political Correctness (No Insulting/Derogatory Sprites - i.e. 'Derp' Sarah Palin)

Any well known political figures will work, I'll be doing the judging and I keep up on World politics fairly well, so as long as it isn't some terribly obscure person, you should be fine.

Do you have to have a pokemon next to your dude?

No, that's completely up to you. Although I do like Blaziken's Palin/Sealeo combo.

Does it need to be a trainer?

Awesome!

The entries so far have been added to the original post.

Does this have to be a current political figure, or could it be someone like Eisenhower or Lincoln?

Well known historical figures will work, as long as they're political.

So, uh... It's been a few days since October 6th...

Are we going to get the results, or are we going to extend the deadline so more people can have their chance? 쓰

YIKES! Very sorry about that! Yes, the 6th came and went... Deadline extended to the 13th. My apologies, very poor communication on my part.
