Congratulations to our winners, and thanks to everyone who entered and participated. Since turn out this year was so much higher than last, I'm already planning on holding the contest again next year. See you then!

The winners were a little too easy to predict, I fear.

Dera Deval (37) 2%
Milla Pe (17) 1%
That's odd. The work put into scratch sprites must be overlooked around here... or maybe Milla just wasn't interesting enough.
Hopefully I'll do better next year...

I'll need to get clearance to release my address, but you'll have it by the end of next week. How long do you think it'll take for the cards to come?
EDIT: I also invite all to read my fanfic over at its thread. There are effects there that weren't possible in the file seen in the contest. The link is the award in my sig.

I really admire your ability to work from scratch, Seka. Seriously, I'm not kidding! I tried it once, and it was quite difficult. -shot-
And thanks to everyone who voted for me, the judges and Croik! X3

Look, you made it to the finals wich means your sprites are of good quality, but you're way too fixated on the concept of recognition from others.
Instead of nagging about the fact that you didn't win, take pride in that you made it this far and continue to hone your skills.

I’m very disappointed with the results of the contest this year. Very disappointed… I worked really hard on my sprite sheet. REALLY HARD. I thought people could appreciate the fact that someone could actually make something from scratch and have it look decent. I’m glad Yesi-chan won the contest. Her sprite looked good, if not, a little too cartoony. I’m not sore that I didn’t get 1st place. Second place would have been great and 3rd would have been just fine. But when I see the edits that pushed me to second to last, it just irritates me that a lot of people got they’re friends to come to the site and vote for just them. I didn’t ask anyone to vote for me, because I thought I could win with my skills alone. That and I thought it would be unfair. And I’m sorry but some of the entrant’s sprites just looked way too frankensteinish. And yes, I understand that making sprites isn’t easy, especially Ace Attorney ones but resized heads on a body just seems like poor work to me. I also know I didn’t write a plethora of things about my character, but I figured a brief description would have been more efficient, considering this part of the contest dealt with sprites. I don’t think I’m going to enter next years contest if this is all my hard work is going to get me. I thought I could impress people with MY skills alone, as a sprite artist. I was wrong…
Well...sorry you didn't win, but you know...you were not the only one who worked hard. Even others' sprites look poor to you doesn't mean they made less effort. If you think you failed because of the brief description, I hate to say that but it was all your fault.
I mean, come on, it's a contest, not your birthday party. For sure everyone enter the contest because they want to win, but I would say they should be ready to lose at the mean time.
Sorry if I've said too much, no offense.

To be honest I'm glad Yesi and Yuanfang won, as their sprites were probably better than mine anatomy and style-wise, but it's just extremely disheartening to see that you came in dead last just because AA fans don't care about pixel techniques.

It's not like your entries were pummeled by a several-hundred vote lead in the category, and it was blatantly obvious they were a winner based on popularity.
And then you get passed up for Croik's Choice, which goes to that very same champion.
And then you had to deal with the champion's very bad behavior in other parts of the community.
Have I said a peep about it all? It's been a year now, and nope. Nothing. Not until now.
If I can suck it up, so can you.

your's was fanfiction.
Fanfiction and sprites are a very different matter. I feel your pain here, but I doubt you understand what I was just talking about with use of pixelart techniques.

It's a surprise that the fanart entries I supported (apart from me) didn't win XD; Although, since this year's entries are really good, it's not surprising to see the winners are not who I expected ^^
Now if you excuse me... *goes to a corner to swallow the bitter taste of truth*

This contest, though fun, is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. So cheer up, eh SilentBob? I have always been a fan of your artwork since I first came to CR, and I admire your ability to do work from scratch, and in the end you've already more than proven your worth as a capable sprite artist. See how far we made it out of so many entries? That's a victory in and of itself.
Congratulations to all the winners! I hope you enjoy a little glory and a sweet pack of Ace Attorney cardy goodness. Thank you SO much to everyone who voted for me. ^_^

Tajiri: yeah >w< it's only winning out of a mere 60(?)something entries and a pack of rare ace attorney cards, it's no big deal, there's always other contests coming up OvO i think...but no reason for the sprite winner to not enjoy some playing cards and a little recognition XD

You silly betch, you. I'm glad you liked my entry enough to make a fancy little button for it! *A* LOL
This contest was interesting, to say the least. It's hard to say which one is the "best", to be honest (at least in the fan-art category)... but I guess I can't really complain. I ended up choosing a very obscure entry, actually, so I chose from either the "looks good" and "sounds awesome" categories (obviously the latter, because a few of the lower percentage were pretty damn awesome & hilarious).
ANYWAY. I'm just glad that people would even vote for my character at all, ahahaha. Great job, guys.

I'm more concerned that the most formulaic fanfic won. It's pretty much 1-1, done up to look different. *shrugs* I'm glad that Croik chose Chancellor Moore to be her favourite, because that was the one I scored highest. It was, shock horror, the most original.
EDIT: Okay, that was uncolled for, and I apologize. I don't want to make any more drama.
I'm sorry you feel that way about my entry. It took me over a year to write, so I can't help but feel disheartened. This is the way the people voted, and you can't change that. It's just a contest, after all.
Be assured, I have nothing but absolute respect for each one of my fellow finalists.

As for some of the drama in here concerning the results: as a judge, I consider one of the most important criteria to be how well a character fits into the overall Ace Attorney world. This is particularly important in the sprites category as they are meant to resemble in-game style moreso than fanart or writing. A big question to ask when looking over sprites is "if this sprite was placed into the game, would it look consistent and natural?"
I can certainly appreciate the difficulty of making sprites from scratch, and I believe that if you could see the judge's initial scores that ranks for originality and technique would reflect as such, but the double-edged blade there is that the sprite is done totally in the style of the creator, not in the style of the official in-game sprites. I consider this kind of tradeoff to be unique to the sprites division. Also bear in mind that not everybody understands the effects of advanced pixel techniques and people are voting based on the character, not necessarily the amount of effort put into the work (as that may not be completely obvious to someone glancing through the entries).
In the end, though, this contest is meant for fun and to show off the community's creation. If the result of that is this sort of competitive after-the-fact negativity, it may not be worth it to continue holding the contest. I would hate to move on with this knowing that people are coming out of it with sour feelings.

As for the foks sore about the rankings, hey, remember that voters only had a tickybox. They couldn't make allowances for, "This was really cool, but ...". There were a lot of entries that I thought were interesting or technically impressive, but didn't quite match the PW world the way the contest was looking for.
These things can help you grow. Just be proud of the fact that you gave it your best, and work on making your craft even better next time.
Thanks to everyone who voted for Cherry! Check out the To Each A Tempo CR thread, there'll be punch and pie!

I only voted in one of the categories because I didn't have the patience to read everything in the other two, but anyway they all looked great.
