Alright.

Since the opposition seems to be letting the same bloody point go through their skull without comprehending it, there is only one way to settle this argument.

–noun
1. a person or thing regarded with special favor or preference: That song is an old favorite of mine.
2. Sports. a competitor considered likely to win.
3. a person or thing popular with the public.
4. a person treated with special or undue favor by a king, official, etc.: favorites at the court.
–adjective
5. regarded with particular favor or preference: a favorite child.

People are going to vote for their favorite, and the majority's favorite just so happens to be BwdYeti. If you're going to bitch about someone having a favorite when that's what this contest is about, there has been a lapse in communication.

I voted Yeti because, scarce as they are, his animated work is incredible. The last one posted as an example animates so smoothly that it's uncanny. The amount of frames used is high, and everything in it sparing the HUD and background is most importantly custom made, and it looks pro at that.

Yeti has always been a background sort of character. You'll note that no one mentions him much, until the subject of sprites comes up, particularly animations. That's because he is legend when it comes to that, and it is because his work is so well known that he is remembered and very popular in that area even though his pool of work is small (or ancient as some might argue), and even though he appears inactive (though I saw him on the user list last night).

Love ya Perry and Luke, but you're just wrong here. Sorry.
