I like this one a lot. Clearly a lot of work was put into it. On the technical side, the shading and dithering make it really obvious that the grey material is chain mail and the red material is cloth. All in all, a very solid entry.
Steampunk Gentleman
Creativity: 43 Execution: 43 Effort: 32
This is another excellent entry with a lot of really useful pieces, but I have to knock some points off of Effort for the incomplete suit. Kudos, though, on dividing this up into multiple independant parts.
Starsteel Barbarian Armor/Claws
Creativity: 40 Execution: 45 Effort: 39
This is definitely a fun one. The scar and the beard make him look rugged and fierce -- not the kind of guy you'd want to pick a fight with. Also, he comes with his own weapons, which is cool.
Male Armor and Hair
Creativity: 38 Execution: 38 Effort: 45
This is a cool submission, but I have to knock off a few points for execution -- something bothers me about the way the armor is shaded. That said, it's quite usable, and the hair is excellent. A very good submission overall.
Top Hat - Lolhat
Creativity: 35 Execution: 25 Effort: 20
This is a fun entry, but it's a lot smaller than the rest, and it needs a little more in terms of shading. Still, I can't help but like it.
Turnip Armor
Creativity: 50 Execution: 45 Effort: 10
This is hilarious. Unfortunately it's not eligible to win because it doesn't cover all of the frames. Someday it would be pretty cool if someone would pick this up and finish it.
...people do it anyway. Unfortunately, in order for this archive to grow, we had to accept the fact that people frequently GPL their art, even if it's not an entirely appropriate license for it.
My understanding is that if you use GPLed art, you have to open your source code. GPLed code can be distributed with *art* that isn't GPLed, but I'm fairly certain, given the requirements of the GPL and source code, that GPLed art must be distributed with GPLed code.
Just a quick clarification:
* Anything based on the base sprite(s) is fine. There are no restrictions. You can even edit the base sprite. Don't worry too much about compatibility with other modifications, as long as you have a good idea.
* Editing or adding frames to the base sprite is fine.
* Multiple modifications in one file are fine too. You can also enter the contest multiple times, but you can only win one prize total.
This is why we need art packs. It's going to be a big feature, and I need to wait for things to die down a bit at work before I can really attempt it. I'll take some time, both in planning and implementation.

I'll work on this.

Good catch. This issue has been fixed. :)

I was outputting the wrong field when I printed the link. This is fixed now.

My rule must be misfiring. Should be fairly easy to fix, though.

At the moment, I'm not sure why it's happening. I'll look into it.

Thanks for setting that up. :)
