Greetings, my friends. I represent a certain... organization. You see, the world is not what you have been led to think. Your tinfoil-wearing crazy neighbour might be onto something. Ordinary citizens who honestly earn their living day-by-day and pay their taxes are surrounded by various… anomalies and abnormalities. Some of them hide in the shadows, while other try to blend in with human society. Our job is to identify and secure them. But don't worry, most of them are rather harmless. Well, usually - unless ██████████ ████ ████████ ███ █████████████. ████████ ██████ ███ ████████████ ██████. As you see, there's nothing to be afraid of. No, really.
Take a look at this poor fellow. I called him Bob. Say 'hello', Bob.
Hello, Bob.
Oh, isn't he adorable?
We seek for young open minds who want to help us in our mission.
Look around your surroundings and report your findings.
For the sake of our cover-up called Monthly Spriting Competition, your task is to create a sprite inspired by urban myths, conspiracy theories, or unresolved mysteries, be it a humanoid or other creature. It can be a re-imagining of already existing AA character (I bet Will Powers is a werewolf!) or a brand new original character. You can also take a character/creature from different media and redraw it in AA-style. I want to see extra-terrestrial life forms, sasquatches, chupacabras, men in black and, of course, Elvis. And don’t forget about █████████ who are secretly controlling the government.
Please remember to write what your character is based on.
Rules:
Have a good fun and remember - THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

Please remember to write what your character is based on.
Rules:
- Only special sprites made for this comp may be entered.
- You can submit a whole sheet, animations, or just one sprite.
- You can submit ONE entry. However, you may sprite two or more characters in one entry if necessary (think about Machi and Lamiroir, for example).
- As long as the submission period lasts, you have the right to update and improve your sprite.
- The entry submission period will last from May 4th to June 3rd at 8:00 PM CEST (I won't be picky about the timezone part). The deadline can be extended if necessary. Voting period will last for two weeks after submission close. The judging method will be a poll.
- EXTRA (optional): You can name your entry and write a short backstory for your character.
- EXTRA: You can create your own urban legend. If those guys succeded with Slender Man, why not you?
Have a good fun and remember - THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
Spoiler: ORIGINAL ENTRIES, with detailed descriptions:
1. ann-nna
Her name's Astra. A possible non-human? Further investigation is required...
2. Mister Gruel
The Atwoods Monster.
Apparently based on the Flatwoods monster.
3.Ropfa
Barack Obama, president of the United States of America.
At least that's what they WANT you to think.
The eyes, did you see that? It was totally there for a split second. Don't try telling me it was just lens flare. He isn't human, I'm telling you. None of our world leaders are.
4. Vitor-Leal
Meow. Contrary to appearance, he's not a genetically advanced cat, but an alien from Planet Betelgeuse.
5. Virt
Yuki Onna, a yōkai from Japanese folklore. She's kind of like a snow witch who lures people in and then freezes them to death.
6. SiberianHunter
This is a witch from Russian folklore. Her name is Baba Yaga, and she likes to eat children that get lost in the woods.

Spoiler: ORIGINAL RULES
- 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) Also, try to don't use characters or spoiler poses from AA6!
- 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!
Spoiler: RULES FOR HOSTS
- 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.
