Congrats to all runners up and all who participated. With luck, I am in charge of creating both the new spriting and drawing competitions. This, for me, meant that I could take a little more of a risk and have themes that are a bit unique than past competitions. Obviously, you are here wanting to know what to sprite, so I won't waste any time. Today we are going to test a specific part of your spriting ability, and leave any other part out of the picture. Wondering what I'm talking about? Well, let me show you this: [img]http://i.imgur.com/SBuEQPi.png[/img] This is a lineart of Mario's head. It is your job to take said head and give it color and depth. [size=150][u][b]Using the lineart previded, fill in with color and shade it[/b][/u][/size] Yes, you will only be coloring and shading for this competition. Now, it might sound boring, but think of some unique ideas that can go with it: What is the lightsource is beneath his head? What if there's two lightsources? What if he's not normal at all? Such as maybe zombiefied? It's all left up to interpretation. Most of all, have fun with it! The choice is yours. The competition ends tone week from now, so May 5th. Extensions will be made if necessary. Best of luck.

are we allowed to change the color of the outline, and/or allowed to make different outlines different? by that I mean like can we make the mustache outline blue, then the hat outline green or something?

Are we allowed to use gradients?

[quote="UltLuigi"]Are we allowed to use gradients?[/quote] I mean, it's allowed, but gradients are more for something that is flat, and doesn't show depth really. Your call, though.
