Spoiler : Voting Post :
The voting period begins now!

Here are the entries. You may vote for TWO entries by listing their numbers in bold.

Voting closes at December 13th, 11:59PM PST. Any votes made after this point will not be counted.

The entries:
Spoiler : Original Post :
Hey hey hey, AAO! Been a while since I've hosted one of these babies; last time was back in early 2011 believe it or not, back in the very first sprite competition not hosted by a moderator (well, I wasn't one at the time at least). And let me say, it's good to be back! But I couldn't make my triumphant return to hosting without an interesting topic. So that's why it's time for something new, something we've never had in a competition like this before. This is The Sound of Music Sprite Competition!

In this contest, you must create a sprite of an original character or an edit of an existing AA character based on or inspired by a song. For example, the character I sprited at the top of the page is inspired by the song Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, so I designed him like he was in a radioactive apocalypse. The concept is similar to the Music into Characters forum game, and you'll be taking inspiration from a song to create your sprite for the competition!

You will post your entries with both the sprite you created and the song you based it on in your post, shown in the example above. You can also post explanations for your designs if you want; lyricless songs are allowed, but you may have to explain your thought process more if you go that route.

You are allowed to make edits or outfits of existing characters or create new original characters for your entry, but do not simply sprite a character from the song's source material. If you use the Pirates of the Carribean theme, you can't make a sprite of Jack Sparrow; it goes against the creativity of the competition!

You may use characters from GK2 and DD, but do not use spoiler poses.

Keep songs and sprites appropriate. Do not use songs that are all about sex and drugs or filled with curse words.

Character submission will be until December 1st, 11:59PM PST.
Good luck and enjoy the music, everybody!

I advise you to be careful about the contents of the songs. If you believe they are inappropriate considering our concern with swear words and such, don't provide a link to it, refer to it with the title and artist. This is to avoid getting anyone in trouble for something as silly as a genuine entry :) Of course, I am not saying you can't base a sprite on a song with some inappropriate details. As long as that is not reflected in the sprites themselves, it all depends on the host.

Well as I said, as long as the sprite itself isn't inappropriate, it should be alright. Just don't post the lyrics / link to them :P

(Although I'm guessing it's a joke xP Still have to clarify this stuff)

[sarcasm]No, it absolutely was not a joke and I was totally going to personnify one of the most screwed-up songs in history. My backup plans included "Too Drunk to ****" by the Dead Kennedys, "**** Tha Police" by N.W.A, "So What" by the Anti-Nowhere League, "Angel of Death" by Slayer, "Bodies" by the Sex Pistols, "Closer", also by Nine Inch Nails, and the entire discography of GG Allin.[/sarcasm]

Make a "Bite it you scum" live sprite character, and you'll be AAO's all time hero.

It might start a new era of fancases. The Bright Age of the Law is in your hands! :gray:
