This week's topic:
The Well-Dressed Villain
It may sound cliche, but there are many possibilities. Here are a few examples of totally different executions of this theme:

It's supposed to be a real mean though guy gangsta-boss. ;D
This is villain wannabe.
His trousers and sandal are representing his evilness.

This idiot thinks he's cool. well he aint. So I started doing it, and it looked ok, so I decided to finish it... yet I didn't. but he's dressed well and he's bad to the bone. Yes, all the money for the clothes are drugmoney.
Here's mine, in action nonetheless!

I hope it don't have to be an original character, because I just spent hours on this sprite:

Dick Dastardly, head of the Vulture Squadron. I've always adored his stylish purple coat.

Looks like your sprite and my sprite belong in the same story.Ã, I'm not sure who I'd bet on. :P
Heres my entry. The creepiest well dressed villain I could think of... Scissorman from Clock Tower *applause*.

If my clock is correct this competition is finished, yes?
not totally, you can still enter today
here's my rendition of a well-dressed villain (she has a tie!)

And here's a different color palette (I actually prefer that one, what do you guys think?):

Well, I've started something, but I won't finish in time. Oh, well.
Nice entries, guys. Good luck to all of you.
This was a good competition, but it must end.
The Ivy, I liked your simple execution, although it's doesn't exactly strike me as villainous.
Buloght, I liked your idea, and a pirate captain makes an admirable antagonist.
Hillybilly, a non-original adversary was indeed welcome. Good job with the rendering!
Seaduck, your idea was good, too. It's been a while since I've thought about Fat Cat. Oh man, the times we've had.
But ultimately, Progzmax's entry wins this. It's an excellent interpretation of a classic villain -- such an elegant protrayal of the Big Bad Wolf. (Although for a game sprite, he'd probably lose the dithering.) The color contrast is particularly striking. Congratulations!
I win? Yay! Thanks you Big Brother type person, you!
Now for a new topic...Something sexy, methinks...STAY TUNED!
