Sprite(avatar) Creation Contest
Introduction
This contest is intended to allow Merlin fans(or anyone who wants to enter) to easily create something that can also be easily added into the game. For those unfamiliar with some game terms, a sprite is like your avatar. It is the 2D(fake 3d) representation of the player in the game or of other characters as well. Below is an example of a sprite.
Contest Rules
1. Sprite must look similar to the style presented above. You are encouraged to use this site Looseleaf to make your sprite, and are also encourage to later edit the sprite once made.
HOW TO USE LOOSELEAF: Unfortunately once you are finished making your sprite on Looseleaf you must press the 'printscreen' button and then paste(Ctrl+V)| into a picture editing program such as paint or GIMP and edit away the unwanted screen capture in order to save your work.
