Welcome to the FOURTH ANNUAL Easter Egg Project, 2010, run by yours truly, Professor Geoffrey!

What is the EEP ’10?
This is the fourth annual Easter Egg project, the most recurring spriting project on PE2K; the first year, I was Absols-Darkness, the second year, I was Geoffreys-Darkness, and the third year, I was A Requiem of Verities, just in case you haven’t been keeping up with all of my name changes. But what is it, you ask? It is a collective of egg sprites to celebrate Easter, maybe not only just as a Christian holiday, but a time when… well, eggs, are on our mind! You know, like the legend of the Easter Bunny! Like Santa Claus, he comes in the middle of the night, except he doesn’t give presents; he often gives candy, but nowadays, he sometimes also gives a movie, a beanie baby, or whatever else appropriate.

EEP will run for two weeks, until Easter, and then all of the sprites will be counted! Unlike my other projects, where afterwards, I was too busy to judge and name winners, I will make sure to make time to do that this year! There are several possibilities to win. Also, I will accept graphics, but only the first ten will be judged. But please be aware that this is not a contest. I only judge what I think are the best Pokémon according to each category, and that’s that.

So, what do you want me to do?
Go on whichever program you use to make sprites or graphics and go to town! If you need help making an egg, you can use this sprite, or find a more current one. I don't care what you do to it! Sure, make it look nice, if you want, but the main part of this whole thing is a good mix between quality AND quantity! The more, the better, but we also want to see some talent here, too. The best will be chosen by a certain judge(s) and I (names to be confirmed later... Anastasia-R said she would, but since I was sick, I dunno... so, we'll see). Also, as mentioned earlier, you can make a banner, but only the first ten will be judged (separately) as this won't be a banner competition. The banners are just mainly for the top of the post.

Rules
1. There is to be no spamming, flaming, mini-modding, arguing, or even much discussion at all in this thread. Things like “Nice sprite!” are acceptable, but I really only expect feedback from others, complaints (hopefully none this year), and donations.
2. You may donate as many eggs as you so desire.
3. The egg must be a sprite, and can be AT MOST 200x200. Eggs don't need to be that big, okay?
***Rule doesn't apply to sprites that have more than one egg - varies in this case***
4. The egg must be saved as .png, or .gif if it has a transparent background or is animated.
5. Follow ALL forum rules.
6. Whining will not be permitted.
7. Donate again, and bona fortuna! (Good luck) ;D

Wow! 44 eggs right off the bat! Thanks so much! ^_^

I may donate my generic eggs again this year... =]

I'll add them later; I just wanted to check to make sure that people are at least starting to post.

[NES2]

Doesn't GPX already do this... and they actually award a prize too.... STILL, MAYBE I WILL MAKE AN EGG!

[Incandescent]

I like this one:

Egg in the center :p
all remade from the sprite.

[Ken]

Shouldn't this go in Art Contests? O.o

My entry:



^^ All done freehand (Except the egg shape)

As opposed to GPX+, this is an art collective, not a place where you can hatch eggs and collect Pokémon and whatnot. And if their copyright dates are correct, and it really is three years old, the EEP is a year older. =)

Well, in the past three years the EEP and similar projects I've made (only one of them made it into the contest section, only because I made it a contest), none of the collective projects have ever been suggested or moved by a mod to go in the contest section. The primary function of the 'EEP is to collect sprite eggs to reach a goal, but it has two other, secondary functions that allow people to donate banners and receive prizes. And it's just a title; there's nothing special you really win, and it's not even so much something you win, either. It's just an observation of which egg I think is the best. But this year, we also have another judge... or judges. I still need to contact them to see if they're still in. (Anastasia-R is one of them... =])

[Incandescent]

Living Egg and Rotom Egg.

I'll help out with this later. :]

Expect me to submit in something in soon!
