Hey there, spriters!

We've now reached June and I was thinking of starting to organize the TUGS spriting tournament.

TUGS is a spriting/ pixel art tournament that was held since the days of Pixeltendo. First of all, a preliminary round helps the jury panel determine who goes in which category: beginner, intermediate or advanced. The actual tournament is organized in duels per category.
There are terms per round and per category. The winners in each category will not face each other at the end, they are only the winners of their category.

This thread's purpose is firstly to know when we can hold this tournament, and then who is available. I'm doing this early so I can get a date early, but also so I can allow some time for the people that I plan on inviting from other communities to reply... which is something that bellyflopped last year.
If there's anything else you want to share, like ideas, criticism regarding the last TUGS... let us know!

The deadline for signing up for this event will be on Thusday, June 30th.

TUGS will start on Saturday, July 23rd, and end on Wednesday, August 10th.

We currently have 72 contestants.

i am totally in on this shit. i'm also available basically the whole summer

where doing it man

where MAKING THIS HAPEN

I'm always there for you, baby.


Can't wait to get this ball rolling

..I'd love to but I have trouble with spriting.

I'll be sure to keep up with this thread though. I can't believe we're finally having another awesome TSR event, it's so exciting!

Well since no one wants to hire me i'm available.
I don't sprite often but I still want in on this to lose

What is this?

I graduate Friday but I'm such a slow and inexperienced spriter agghh! I'll probably decide to do it, I just hope that I'm able to perservere

and get easy topics

I have no idea what this is but I'll give it a go

Edit: Just read through some old TUGS topics so I have an idea of what it's about

I'll be joining. I'm only on vacation the week of the 4th of July, after that I'm just working, which leaves a bit of time for pixel fun (which I barely do, but I love to try it when I can).

I'm available. Even if I'm busy, I'd probably end up having time whenever I'm lazily procrastinating.

I probably won't this year, sorry guys :c

good, so i wont be killed in the first round by gors again.

yeah, I won't be able to defeat you, met


WIN THIS TUGS FOR ME

FOR US


THE BULLETBROS SHALL TRIUMPH

I kinda want to join but at the same time I haven't sprited much of anything in a really long time. I'd probably be really horrible, haha.

Count me in, i should be free all summer, however i'll be moving soon so there's a chance i may not have access to the internet...but i'll say something beforehand if that's the case.
