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.

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....
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.
Good Luck, and happy spriting!

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

) But thanks for covering the bases. 
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.
