Easter Egg Spriting Contest

What's with the weird weather . . . Let's hope the eggs don't get blown away :v

Oh, euhm... *sneezes* Sorry about that.
Hi, welcome one and all!
King Winter seems to have skipped some parts of the world [I wanted snow as well ('x ] and spring is already peaking around the corner with its temperature, so it's time to get ready for some spring cleaning an Easter Egg Hunt!

The Easter Egg Hunt usually starts in the week before Easter and lasts for about a week after, so you have more than a week to search for them. More specific details will be revealed on the 04th of April when the Hunt starts :)

We took some precautions this year, but that Smeargle managed to sneak past them and do the same thing again. Maybe I shouldn't have put my Slakoth as the look-out, but that can't be it! Once again, somebody removed the colours of our newest Easter Eggs. The spriters have other things to do with their time, so asking them to sprite all of them, seems a bit selfish. Now, what to do. . .

I wonder? If we provide you with a template, you guys can try and design your own Easter Eggs for the Hunt. What do you think?
Spriters, start your programs and take out your pixels, it's time to let your creativity out!

Reward
Now a contest wouldn't be a contest if there was no reward, even though spriting can be fun by itself, so there will be a chance to win a prize. Aside from that lovely feeling of winning, the top 20 Easter Eggs will be made the official Easter Egg Hunt eggs for this year's Hunt.
That's not all, of course. The designers of these eggs will also receive 5000 Event Points to do with as they please ^^

Again, everyone who joins/qualifies, but didn't quite manage to snatch away a big prize, will receive a participation prize of 1000 Event Points as thanks for joining ^w^

Sprite Requirements
Accepted File Types: .PNG
Sprite Size: Please download this template -

Sprite Type: Digital, full transparency [final product]
Sprite Design: Have fun with it!
These are Easter Eggs, so please stay within the lines and don't change the size.
There also needs to be an actual design. Sending in a monotone [one-coloured] egg or a simple duo-coloured egg will not get you qualified. We need at least 2 colours, aside from black and/or white.
You are allowed to change the colour of the border.
You are allowed to design as many as you like, but only up to 5 actually qualify. Please indicate which eggs you'd like to enter when making more than 5.
File Upload: Please upload it to a website which doesn't delete it within the next 30 days and allows third party viewing. It's also important that the transparency remains.
(Recommended: sta.sh, imgur.com)
Copyright: The sprite has to be designed completely by you. Aside from the black outline, everything must be sprited by you. You are not allowed to include (parts of) sprites made by others, including official sprites.

Please post your finished artwork in this thread!

Deadline
The deadline is March 20nd, 23:59.
The winners will be chosen by us, the Staff, based on quality.
The results should be revealed on April 4th, the day the Hunt starts :)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I design more than one egg?
A: Sure you can! Just keep in mind that you'll only win the prize once, as they're limited to one per user. Also, only up to 5 will qualify for voting.
Q: Can Staff join?
A: Yes they can.
Q: Why though?
A: We feel that everyone should have the chance to participate in a contest if they wish to do so. If a Staff member enters, they'll simply be excluded from the voting process.

That one cracked Exeggcute egg (x)

Here is my entry. Bringing another egg gemstone! This one has a more complex cut! I might make more eggs, though they probably won't be jewels. (x)



Second Egg! Based on a scene from a video game I like! I thought it fits Spring as this is basically the memory of a rainy day. (x)

Can we re-enter eggs we have previously made? (IE eggs we made for last year's egg spriting contest but weren't chosen)

@Sparrowwa - I'm sorry, but no ^^'

Here's one that looks like an Exeggcute
. The only thing I took from the original sprite were the colors, if that's okay. I'll probably make more eggs as well. (x)
