1. Is it alright if I photoshop in a picture of Samus just for scale? I would prefer not to have to re-draw Samus

2. About how long would you like the explanations to be?

3. Is it alright if an entry contains two creatures that cooperate?

I am ready to send in my submission, but I can't do so until I know the answers to these question. Thanks for your help.

1. Yes

2. Use your best judgement. There is no specific limit.

3. Yes

Is there a preferred image format and either resolution or file size limit? The image are in svg format initially, is this okay or would prefer it in jpg or png?

by **Infinity's End** » 11.20.10 9:31pm

standard format like jpgs are fine. I can open up any image filetype you throw at me, however.

One done-ish, two to go! :awesome:

Just wanted to clarify: the contest due date states 12am midnight on Friday the 3rd, but what I really meant was THE END of Friday, which is technically SATURDAY the 4th. Guess this gives everyone 1 more day to make any final touches. Sorry about that, folks! -_-;

I just finished my entry and sent it in. I hope black and white pictures are okay!

I'm glad I got to enter this one. I wanted to enter the Make a Metroid contest, but just couldn't get anything done. And to think I didn't wait until the last day like always! No way!

I can't wait to see everyone's entries. This seems like such a cool idea.

EDIT: I just got a confirmation e-mail! Really nice feature. I always worry if the e-mail didn't get through, so that's very reassuring.
