After the high demand to be involved in the second time around, I've created the second competition sooner than usual.

Our champion from the last one (Hats Of!) will be defending his title against all the up and coming contestants.

Here's the competition chart, if I'm not mistaken I've gotten a confirmation from everyone on it.

Ok, so the first challenge will be something small. I would like to see everyone create their own Ghost. I'm sure everyone knows what a ghost is, so there's no need to elaborate.

I'm looking for creativity. C-R-E-A-T-I-V-I-T-Y! The bar was set pretty high by some of the sprites given last time, so let's see some creativity people.

As usual, there's a twist. As we all know, ghosts can come in many colours and shapes and such. The largest the ghost can be is 120 x 120. The smallest is 75 x 75. There's a certain colour I'd like to see on all the ghosts, and that colour is . Odd colour to see on a ghost, but I'm sure everyone here can do it.

Get to it! I'll give a little extra time due to people realizing they're in this. I'll PM everyone to let them know of course.

GET TO IT AND GET CREATIVE.

Ok, here it is, in my opinion it's not great but I think it's good for my first ever sprite. The ghost is supposed to resemble the pacman ghosts a little. He's trying to sell a toy version of himself.



Please comment. (In case you didn't know, this is Chris310.)

I've recently adjusted the chart due to the fact that people aren't participating who said they would, so I had to rearrange. My apologies.

Here he is....



Gangsta Ghost in da hood, yo.

He's wearing a clock necklace and the brown is in his hat.

I tried some shading, but it blurred when I resized it. I'll try to put up an enlarged version.

Dimensions: 100 x 120

A ghost that's a clown? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? It doesn't even have any ghostly parts....

Who said it had to look like a Casper style ghost. It's a resurrected soul of an evil clown, have you never seen scooby doo?

Boo. You just drew a regular clown and called it a ghost.

+ Isn't this technically Sprite Contest #3?

I hope i get through, even by default! This is my first sprite so I'm not going to be suicidal if I don't.

Dimensions:91x107px
The shading of the Evil Ghost is the required colour.

Caveghost taking home his ghostrabbit dinner. The leopard spots are the sample colour. This colour is a favourite of most of the caveghost community.

This wasn't intentionally supposed to look like harry potter. It was supposed to just be a wizard-ghost type dude, but It just kept looking like Harry Potter >_< I removed the other one...

Sample colour is up the sleeves!

Arhh, matched up with Hat's. I think Gryphon hates me.

EDIT: Meh, I'm fairly happy with the results...



The compulsory colour is on the amulet. (It's only a few pixels, but you didn't say we couldn't do that).

Ok, well as soon as I thought of ghosts, I thought of chains. I seemed to have been matched up with an art master, which kind of let me down a bit, but oh well. Here he is:

The colour is on his chains. He moves like a snake, that's why there's an odd looking bit of cloth, because it's following his main body.

Ok forget clown and welcome, The ghosts of Fan Arts Past. FA1 is an angel (not that I know wether it was any good or not), Fan Art 2 is the devil, full of dodgy art and crap jokes, and Fan art 3 is stuck in limbo having died so young. Oh and although you can barely tell the angels bow and the devils forks handle is the brown colour.

This is a cyclops ghost. He committed suicide by burying himself with shit. (Shovel is shown) (Shit on the shovel and in his mouth is the required colour, and the handle of the shovel is outlined in it).

I'm giving one more hour for anyone to hand in their sprite if they have not already.

NOTICE: If you notice about 20 posts up, I've recently adjusted the chart due to the fact that people aren't participating who said they would, so I had to rearrange. My apologies. Oh and I didn't wanna have to redraw the chart, so yeah. Hurray for laziness.

Also: Dubskills/Chris310, you're disqualified for being TO'd and plus isn't that multiple accounts?

Due to switching around spots and such because of the others not participating, some people were moved around completely.
