VOTING IS CLOSED! How to vote:
Simply post a comment with the number of the entry, for example, if voting for Splodey_Goat's entry simply post "I vote for 1" (Number in bold)
_______________ RULES:
Spoiler: Rules *PLEASE READ*
Each month a new topic will be picked (by the previous month's winner)
To enter, just post your entry here
Stick to the theme! (This one's obvious) but make sure you enter something relevant to the theme picked
ONE entry per person. You can submit one character/sprite design and it can be as little as a single frame, or as large as a full set! Up to you
NO USING OTHER FAN SPRITES. Even with permission, we want to see your own creative works. Editing official sprites is OK though.
Be creative! Simple recolours are not allowed. At least 2 character sprites edited together with a unique colour palette counts as an original sprite. Also drawing custom outfits/costumes from scratch for existing sprites is also acceptable.
Example: Acceptable:
(Custom drawn costume, or a splice of 2 or more official characters, with a unique palette)
Unacceptable:
(Basic recolour of official sprite, or minimal editing of official sprites)
Please create an entirely new sprite for the competition. If you made a character you think really suits the theme, then you can still edit that sprite into a new one for the competition.
Both AA and AAI styled sprites are acceptable, except if the task specifies one or the other.
You get 2 weeks to vote after submissions close. This way people have time to look at the entries and vote.
Voting will be done after submissions have closed and, as CR has no polling system, all you need to do is post a comment saying your favourite.
You can vote for 2 of your favourite choices.
You are NOT allowed to vote for yourself.
You can use sprites/characters/poses from any RELEASED Ace Attorney game. This includes GK2, DD and PLvsAA. NOT DGS just yet! (Wait until CR officially allows DGS spoilers before using those characters)
You can edit your sprite and resubmit it as many times before the cut off date (preferably by editing your original entry post). These can only be minor edits to your existing entry though like fixing some messiness or anatomy, no brand new sprites that you've made. Have confidence in the first entry you make!
RULES FOR HOSTS:
Spoiler: Rules *PLEASE READ*
Make sure you pick a topic that hasn't been done before (Unless it's been over a year since it's been done)
Make sure you COPY the rules into your posts to notify everyone!
Name your topic as "Monthly Spriting Competition! - Insert genre/topic here"
You have creative freedom with selecting topics, provided the entries are in the AA style of sprites. Ideas like a 2 person team collab, or situations like "Twins" where 2 characters are in the 1 sprite are also allowed as potential topics.
For clarity's sake, make a quick sprite as an example of what you're expecting from contestants, and post it in the OP)
YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF COLLECTING VOTES! Unfortunately, CR doesn't have a polling system, and so votes will have to be through individual comments (to prevent people voting multiple times, we will stick to posting alone)
Once the voting is closed, it is up to you announce the results (1st, 2nd and 3rd place), and the winner.
You can take as long as you want to start up the next competition thread. If you don't want to be the one running it, you can let 2nd place be in charge.
You CANNOT enter if you are hosting, but you can vote.
If 2-4 entries receive equal votes, announce those who tied, and hold a tie breaker voting between those. If 5+ to/or every entry ties, the host can pick the winner.
If a tie breaker ends with another tie, all those tied win, and they decide the next host amongst themselves.

Spoiler: Original Post
I have received the all-clear from Commander Bolt Storm , and now CR will have it's own monthly spriting competition!
Simply put, Each month, a different category/genre will be set by the previous competition's winner, and you need to make a sprite that fits their criteria!
This month....
~From April to May... ...BluecorpEmployees!~
I'm starting things a little early (seeing as tomorrow is April 1st, people might confuse this for a joke!)
Seeing as it's April, moving into May, my mind instantly thought of April May's punny name, and I thought "DRESS EVERYONE AS APRIL MAY!" Then I thought that would be an army of heads cut onto April's body, so...
This month it's your task to expand the Bluecorp personnel. You can either dress an existing character in a Bluecorp CEO or Assistant's uniform (Like I did with Edgey! ), or create your own custom employee, updated Bluecorp uniforms or even a new CEO to replace the currently jailed Redd White! There's a lot of freedom to this!
To summarise, you can:
- Make an official or original character wear an existing Bluecorp outfit (a la Redd White or April May)
- Create your own new Bluecorp outfit for an official or original character (There's none for male employees!)
- Create your own original character who works for Bluecorp, adorned in a Bluecorp uniform.
DEADLINE:
The competition will run from April 1st and ends May 1st.
(I will leave entries open for an extra 24 hours after the 1st of May, as most timezones run slower than Australia )
Good Luck, and happy spriting!

This is a cool theme. I actually came up with some Bluecorp OCs sometime last year XD There was something I wanted to test out anyway, so I'll try make some time for this.

Anyway, for voting, you might want to consider using strawpoll? If thats allowed.
I thought of using an alternate site for polling, but that means people can just cheat and vote multiple times, or get their friends to vote. I want to keep this fair and just have it between members. I'll look at this site, but I want to see how commenting goes first. (It'll be messy, I know)
My very first thought was "Put Redd White in Godot's vest" but that was one of the samples... I'll have to think harder, but I definitely want in on this.
Added some rules about voting ties and what to do if everyone ends up voting for themselves and no one else votes. Please PM me if you see any problems these could cause, and i'll make sure they'll all be fixed by the next competition. (It'd be unfair if I change any more now that the competition has started)
This is my first entry here and I'm not entirely sure if I need to give any information beyond just the picture, so I'm gonna go ahead and cover my bases. Hair from Manfred, face from Gumshoe (slightly edited), body made from Edgeworth's, colours taken from young gumshoe and Edgeworth for their respective parts, Lisa Basil for the jacket, and Damon Gant's tie for the vest. I didn't give much thought to the character himself other than he's probably some sort of executive. Low-level employees don't wear bright colours and 'Murica pins, after all. And special thanks to TheDoctor who convinced me to edit this sprite in the first place.

Our first entry! You've made history, my friend!
Looking good! Love the little US flag pin! 'Murica!
Don't worry about saying what parts you've edited. (I've used/seen all the sprites so much I can tell ) But thanks for covering the bases.
-Base : De Killer
-Arm : Tigre
-Suit lapels / Shirt / Tie : LeTouse
(I hope it's okay if I re-used my Akbey Hicks sprite for the body of this one, because I thought it fitted him well. Otherwise, I could redo it, I just want to know)

Thanks Silver! And Don't worry! You sprited that Ackbey one, right? So it's still your work. I just said don't use other's fan sprites.
It's a good clarification to have though. On AAO, the rules are to create an entirely new sprite for the competition. It can be based off something you've sprited before, but it can't be an already existing sprite, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, kind of makes it difficult to find a winner if the only voters are contestants themselves (unless people can actually bring themselves to vote for someone else's work when they've clearly been bested, but that almost never happens).
Here's my entry!
Name Lilia Porpora, occupation: CEO of Bluecorp.
Description:A woman who looks and behaves really nuts! But for some reason I can't tell if she's a friend or a foe...
Extras:I decided to make her look like she came from the Phoenix original trilogy, that's why she has only about 16 colors, and she's supposed to be tall, that's why she's going to look tall comparing her with another character form the original trilogy.

Spoiler: entry
Why does she remind me of Ms. Kashiwagi from Persona 4? Do you suppose it's the pose?
So, I tried going back to using a canon sprite as a base and I think I've actually gotten to the point where my scratch sprites are better quality. Any future entries I make in this are definitely gonna be 100% from scratch.

Thanks! That's Entry No. 5!
Don't worry if you use another sprite as a base! It looks really good! I can't tell what it was based off!
EDIT: I forgot to mention! If you want to edit your entry, you can revise (minor things ONLY like fixing lines, anatomy in certain areas, certain facial features etc. No re-doing your whole sprite from scratch!) it as many times before the cut off as you like! Just edit your existing entry post. I'll go through each post and copy the images after entries close to make sure your most updated one is shown for the voting.

If that's the case.
I think I've already accepted defeat, but I kept toying with my sprite trying to turn it into more of an original character and less Gumshoe in a cravat. I can barely draw so it's still all frankensteined together, but I'm gonna go ahead and resubmit this. Not super polished but I like it more than my first.
Haha, have confidence in your original entry though! By 'edit' I was referring to minor things like cleaning up some lines or fixing anatomy. This is fine though.
I updated the rules to specify "Minor edits only", no full remakes of something you already submitted. I don't want people to make 5 different iterations because they fear they'll lose with their current one. This is all for fun, so what you enter is what you enter! If people think allowing edits is wrong, I'll remove that rule for future comps.

Ah, yeah, that, that makes sense. Sorry. Take the original one for the contest then, I just felt that maybe I'd jumped the gun and posted the original too soon. Thank you for the vote of confidence, but I just have way too much respect for anyone who can draw their own stuff. I'm pretty new to spriting (and forums) and with so many great artists on here I'd hate to come off as anything but humble.

If you want, you can enter both as alternate poses for the same character? It may be daunting seeing others who've been spriting for longer, but still try your hardest! This is a good way to learn from other's works and so it's really good you're giving this a try!
Final warning call for entries!
In about 7 hours May 2nd will hit (for me) and Voting opens!
EDIT: I'll wait another 24 hours just in case. If no one posts here tomorrow, Voting will begin!
, and now CR will have it's own monthly spriting competition! 
), or create your own custom employee, updated Bluecorp uniforms or even a new CEO to replace the currently jailed Redd White! There's a lot of freedom to this!

But the winner gets to pick the next month's topic!
