ROUND 1: Steal This Sprite (Voting)

[Virtuaboy123]

also also you should post the guidelines of the compo in this thread so we know what exactly the criteria for rating the entries is

-You may use ANY sprite or set of sprites from both the Sega Genesis and SNES sections on TSR.
(http://www.spriters-resource.com/genesis/, http://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/)
You take any sprite you want as inspiration, and have to remake it in either a different style, or completely overhaul it's design.
Feel free to take liberties with any current design, but you may not deviate from the palette.
-you can enter As many entries as you'd like but only ONE will be considered able for judging.

The subtheme in this week is working under another artist influence. How can you ever hope to work in the industry if you can't handle a design that isn't originally yours!

I'm honestly not sure about this theme now that I think about it. Remaking it in a different style and overhauling it's design are stated in a way that says "you only have to pick one of these, rather than both," and, because they're the main criteria, make this feel like two separate challenges that are happening to run concurrently. Also, the different style aspect (coupled with the subtheme), seemed to imply we were supposed to remake it in someone else's style, which only MegaMario and I did. Although that's probably a misunderstanding on our part.

On another note, wouldn't a more fitting title be "Remake This Sprite" ? This doesn't really fit under the definition of sprite theft, at least as far as we aren't taking anything other than the palette, and we aren't trying to pass off someone else's work as our own.

I felt the same way about this but I went with the"keep the same pose" and "redisign the sprite" rules. It is a very broad competition so in the end you just have to use your skill.
