I adore this topic. I'm thinking about doing one of the other options for fun.
Ooh! So that's what this is called; I've always liked this era of clothing. I'm definitely entering.
I'm actually working on sprites for a game that has a similar (albeit more colourful) style right now lol, I'll probably end up putting my entry to use.
Indubitable, Murphy, I do say!

Space Boy won the competition mainly because he stuck with the story and create an interesting design for the ocean based civilization. Congrats!

If you had rather someone kept with the story, and it was such a decisive element in choosing the winner, it would have been better to have made it clearer, no? Objective 3, in particular, does not seem to have to relate to the story at all.
