awesome.

here's my entry.
(its nothing fancy)

its a bald eagle because i live in the states.

this is the shading that worked best, i went through a lot of versions.
and i honestly don't understand how to sprite eyes,
maybe i'm just too out of practice. lol
i attempted making a captain amer-eagle, but that turned out terribly
in other words: C+C would be greatly appreciated

Sent my Contest entry in too

I sent in my entry for the tournament and I'll see if I can attempt to whip something up for this round, I tried doing a Royal Guard but the hat killed me XDDDD

SOME IDEAS FOR Y'ALL

Canada:
anything involving a maple leaf (maybe a canadian version of snivy?)
anything beaver (canada was founded on the fur trade)
there is a Jumbo the Elephant statue in St. Thomas, Canada
The Royal Swans are a flock of swans of two varieties (the Mute Swan, and Black Swan), maybe make a pokemon based off of them

USA:
statue of liberty trainer sprite?
make a thanksgiving turkey (because its a super-american thing)

UK:
temple bar monument in london has an awesome statue of a winged dragon on top
the statue at the centre of Piccadilly Circus represents tthe Angel of Christian Charity, maybe make something based off of that

Australia:
sydney theatre house overworld sprite maybe?
The Golden Wattle is the Australian Floral Emblem, idk what to say about that, just throwing it out there
australian coat of arms has a kangaroo and what appears to be an ostrich on it:



idk, i think it might be too late,
unless judging hasn't started yet,
has it Pheonyx ?

well,
i would say that if there aren't any more entries by tomorrow night it will be because nobody will have anything made,
i feel like i've given enough ideas to impair the "no ideas" problem that many people face when spriting.
but i didn't give very good ideas, i just gave enough to help kick-start some inspiration. lol

quote King Chaz

Good Luck with the Tournament Pheonyx, hope it all goes well! =]

LURKER ALERT

I sent in my entry too! I'm just too busy to make more than I absolutely have to at the moment otherwise I would enter the normal round.
