Oh Noes! An evil scientist has created a ray gun that makes inanimate objects come to life.....eeeviiil life!
The job I pass onto you is to create any inanimate object (potted plant, flashlight, stick of gum, whatever) and give it whatever evil life form that you can concoct.
-No color limit
-no size limit, though please keep it reasonable for a sprite.
-No robots (to obvious lol)

Watch out, Admiral Flapjack! It's your arch nemesis Professor Pan and he's on the prowl! Watch out for his face - it's sizzling hot and you'll be burnt to a crisp! Best get out of the kitchen before you're all out of butter.
It's the evil pencil!

After his son died Dr. Humbrey lost his mind en spend all his time finding a way to bring his son back from the dead. When he created the '(re)surrection'-beam he accidentally aimed for the mug his son has made for
the world's bestest daddy. There was however a side-effect: not only did the mug come to life...it absorbed all anger of the Humbrey, and turned evil. On that day the mug killed its creator and decided to live for a single goal: to take over the world and become it's General and Dictator (the usual stuff).
All hail the General!

And here's the evil alarm clock! ! We'll not sleep tonight...

(I hope it's not too late for my entry.)
not at all.
I have double shifts today so the winners will be announced late tonight. Until then, the contest will remain open. ^__^
OK the time is right and my decisions are made (and i'll explain my decisions as well ;) )
And the Evil-Rockie's go to.....
[1st place](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/EdLoen/INANI_EVL_1st.png) Misj'!
At first I didn't want to choose this one because it's the most hi-res piece and takes full advantage of the no color limit (Not that that's a bad thing lol) and looks more like character art, versus character sprite.... HOWEVER, after looking over all the entries, this entry does have the most character, and is thoroughly well designed for what it's concept is.
[2nd place](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/EdLoen/INANI_EVL_2nd.png) Ben304!
Ben get's second place for the sole reason that with only four colors he made a very exquisite pan whose expression is also quite dead (a cookie to you if you put that bad gag together lol). I do know that I would not have been able to do that quite as well as Ben did so kudos. You deserve every bit in this comp.
[3rd place](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/EdLoen/INANI_EVL_3rd.png)petazzo
This choice had to have been even harder for me then first place. I was torn between petazzo's clock, and monk's trash can. But in the end I give it to petazzo. The clock shows some nice pixels and you utalized the face hands not only as eyebrows, but also as an effective 3/4 view. Just watch out though, monk's Can may now chase you down for sweeping 3rd with an entry right before the wire lol.
Now then, i must say this.
Honorable mention goes to IndieBoy... Just because the pencil's expression makes me laugh XD.
And... can you please give me some feedback on what is wrong with mine? I didnt even get a mention so I'd like to know where I went wrong please.
congratulations to all winners! huzzah!! :D

Thanks for the honour, and please give me a few days to set up the next iteration of the SpriteJam.
On a sitenote, I think the character is quite usable as a sprite, although it would require classical animation (like Torin's Passage, Monkey Island 3, or King's Quest VII). It's based on a relatively simple shape. It may be a little big (200 px high), but considering that George in Broken Sword is approximately 150px that should work for an entire character.
Anyway...thanks again of picking me (Yay!), and I'll try to come up with something chalanging and interesting.
