So we had some of the directors and art directors at WayForward vote today. Each voter selected 3 freeform sprites and 3 Boktai sprites. The artist with the highest number of votes between their two sprites wins, and that was:
Faceless - Congrats! Your sideview sprite got 4 votes and your Boktai sprite got 2 votes for a total of 6 votes between the two. You win the cash prize. Please PM me your mailing address and I'll have a check cut.
Alex actually got the highest number of overall votes (with 8 total) across 4 of his sprites, but comes in second with a combined total of 5 votes between both sprite types. Hondo tied Alex with a combination of 3 votes and 2 votes (for a total of 5). Here's a breakdown of the votes:
Faceless: 4 + 2 (6 combo)
Alex: 2 + 2 + 3 + 1 (5 combo)
Hondo: 3 + 2 (5 combo)
TakaM: 3 + 1 (4 combo)
Ahrimanes: 1 + 1 (2 combo)
Panda: 1 + 1 (2 combo)
Captain Blood: 2
Dhaos: 2
Istvan: 1
Omenith: 1
Pixelaro: 1
Schu: 1
Toby: 1
: Highest-rated freeform sprite (4 votes) by Faceless

Thanks to everyone who entered! The entries were incredibly (but not surprisingly) well done. Very creative stuff and I'm always amazed just how much pixel talent is out there on the web.
