There's a bunch of cool entries though. Neat turnout for a first comp here :)

ooh okay, I'll vote for Hesseldahl's (4) sprite! Because she looks really elegant and it does actually look like it would be from an AA game!

Nearavex · Post by **Nearavex** » Sun May 03, 2015 12:11 am

Voting for #4!

I must say, there's some real improvement in Hesseldahl's works - this one looks really amazing.

I really like the Maggey bluecorp outfit! I'll vote for #3

I vote for 4! Hesshie's sprite looks beautiful!

Question: How come you didn't participated on your very own competition?

I made the Edgeworth in April's outfit as my example of what people could do.

Hesseldahl · Post by **Hesseldahl** » Mon May 04, 2015 6:29 am

I'm voting for 3.
I really like it!

Splodey_Goat · Post by **Splodey_Goat** » Mon May 04, 2015 6:52 am

One more vote for Hesseldahl.

Ropfa · Post by **Ropfa** » Mon May 04, 2015 7:56 am

Hesseldahl for me

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Mon May 04, 2015 8:40 pm

I vote 5, He looks badass

Mr. Onizuka · Post by **Mr. Onizuka** » Wed May 06, 2015 2:14 am

I vote Hesseldahl. Besides it looking awesome, it's a full sheet! Amazing work!

Mayu Igiyooki · Post by **Mayu Igiyooki** » Fri May 08, 2015 9:42 pm

I wonder how many votes Hesshie has got lately. (Probably 5-7) No love for Spoldey_Goat.

Hesseldahl · Post by **Hesseldahl** » Fri May 08, 2015 10:18 pm

6 exactly.

Dont' worry spoldey, I'm sure one day you will get a lot of votes if you keep practicing.

Oh, definitely, I jumped the gun. I'm not feeling bad about anything cause everybody else here definitely deserves the love their getting

. Happy to get to say I submitted the first contest sprite but next month I won't jump in so quick and submit something that might actually be able to compete '.';

You made history being the first ever entry into the monthly sprite comps! That's an achievement!

Mayu Igiyooki · Post by **Mayu Igiyooki** » Mon May 11, 2015 6:53 am

I thought Spoldey_Goat was unhappy that he isn't getting any votes. Oh, and Mij, you're right in that spot that Spoldey got the achievement of being the first entry in the competition.

By the way, if double-voting was allowed, I'd vote for milaza as well. His sprite looks pretty cute. But I sincerely doubt it. (I think people can only vote one spriter, I guess.)

AAO allows you to vote for 2 people, but our spriting community here is a lot smaller, and we only had 5 entrants, so I thought 1 vote per person would work. I am seeing it is a little unfair, but it's too late now. (To be honest, hosting this I've come to like all the entries! I'm waiting until the last day to cast my vote because I'm mentally deliberating who should get a vote XD)

Maybe next comp we could have 2 votes per person, (depending on how many votes/voters there are) Or maybe in the last 3 days I can open it to a 2nd vote per person? Like "Turnabout voting" XD

(That might make things uneven, but I'll hear your opinions on this before acting).

Also, it's only 6 more days until voting closes. I've been keeping a tally, but I'll wait until the end to share the results!

Mayu Igiyooki · Post by **Mayu Igiyooki** » Mon May 11, 2015 7:48 am

@SuperAj3: Hmm... A User voting 2 Spriters could be great in the next competition.

Other than that, ♫ iittt'ss voottee couuuuunnnnnnttttttiiiiiiinnnnnnggggg tttiiiiimmmmmeeeee! ♫

Vote Counter wrote: Spoldey_Goat = 0
SilverGS = 0
milaza = 2
Hesseldahl = 6
Ropfa = 1

Although the voting session didn't ended, this is the total amount of votes now. Hmm... I think I should count the total amount of votes too when the last day to vote a spriter comes. Would be pretty interesting. Especially if Mij plans to write down a Vote Counting "thing" in the first post in this thread...

SuperAj3 · Post by **SuperAj3** » Mon May 11, 2015 8:05 am

Thanks Ace, but I didn't mention the counter just to keep the suspense.

I've been writing it all down myself, so provided people don't change their vote, what I've written is accurate. I will recount again after votes close just incase.

Backburner26 · Post by **Backburner26** » Mon May 11, 2015 4:47 pm

When do the votes finish Mij?

16 or 17 May.

Mayu Igiyooki · Post by **Mayu Igiyooki** » Mon May 11, 2015 7:47 pm

Even though, Hesshie's sprite being very simple here gets all the love for some very odd reason. Even from me.

JAZZ TIME!

Tomorrow's (16th) the last day for voting.

I might as well throw my vote in now, before it's too late

(I really wanted everyone to get at least 1 vote

)
I couldn't pick who I should vote for, because every entry I loved because I was happy people wanted to participate, so I asked my mum

Her favourite was 2, so there's my vote XD

Also, next comp, everyone can vote for 2 of their favourites. I see now why that's the case on AAO, will update the rules after voting closes.

In case you don't know, Spoldey_Goat didn't got any votes.

Pierre · Post by **Pierre** » Fri May 15, 2015 8:47 am

Vote: Number 4

(Closely followed by number 1)

He could still get one (I hope). I'm giving honorary mentions for being our first ever entrant

Notice: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE
By the end of the day voting will close and I'll begin tallying the scores.

EDIT: Still a few more hours to vote, folks! ATM It's about 15 to 6(pm) here, and I'll close them at Midnight.(So about 15 hours after this was initially posted)

SuperAj3 · Post by **SuperAj3** » Sat May 16, 2015 9:50 pm

Voting is closed! Results will be up shortly!

Behold! First ever triple post!!!

Sorry... I really had to go there! XD Anyway... Looking forward to see the winner of today's competition.

SuperAj3 · Post by **SuperAj3** » Sun May 17, 2015 6:05 am

LOL Announcements warranted it

Congrats again to Hessehl for winning! I look forward to the next comp! I can't wait to see what theme he picks!

Mayu Igiyooki · Post by **Mayu Igiyooki** » Sun May 17, 2015 6:34 am

I knew Hesshie would be the winner after some days of the vote.

I guess it's time to lock the thread.

Don't jump the gun just yet. I'll signal this thread's closure when Hessehl knows he's won and when he starts the next one.

Hesseldahl · Post by **Hesseldahl** » Mon May 18, 2015 11:57 pm

I want to thank everyone for their votes!
I couldn't win this without you guys.
And don't worry about the next competition, I'm still organizing it.
Here's a small teaser about the new theme...

SuperAj3 · Post by **SuperAj3** » Tue May 19, 2015 12:01 am

Congrats Hessehl! I look forward to what you're working on!

Mayu Igiyooki · Post by **Mayu Igiyooki** » Thu May 21, 2015 8:18 am

No, milaza. We won't be reusing the thread. There is a primary reason why.

Other than that, Congratulations, Hessel!

I was going to let the winner host the next one, so they can do so when they're ready. Things like counting votes can get clunky if it's all in one thread. If we had a polling service here we could easily use the one thread, but this way winners can make and edit their own threads and the previous one will be sent to the archives.

I want to wait until Hessehl makes his thread and has copied and pasted the rules so that they're not lost. Then this thread will be locked.
