ya rly. Eh... It'd be better to just send the prize to whoever you like best. All of these contests have been dead lately.
Here's my entry - the Nautilus: It floats around in water, and lauches spikes at Sonic when he approaches. Here it is in Labyrinth Zone.
Very nicely drawn, Hivebrain, and an interesting concept. =P It beats me why a lot of people don't enter these contests; I had a lot of fun designing for the last one even if I didn't come up with the most original designs, and would have entered into this one had I not already won something last time.
Nice one. Although the colors are a bit off, but that doesn't matter much. Here's another mockup, with the correct palette:
I assume I won by default. ICEknight: I changed one of the reds deliberately, because I thought it looked too bright. It actually looks okay with the original red underwater though. I'll probably program the Nautilus into a ROM hack (maybe South Island Adventure).
God, how do you people make such flawless badniks? The only decent one I ever made didn't follow any kind of pallette rules in any of the games, it looked like a couple lines attached to a circles and all it looked like was a chronically depressed frog.
