you could pick out one of the characters, add transparency around it, and have that as your entry...then submit the whole scene by itself as a separate piece without having to have the transparent parts.
I'm not fussed if it's rejected from the challenge (then I can get rid of the trans, which didn't work as well as I had hoped). I know I was pushing the requirements and it doesn't quite fit the spirit of the challenge, though I am firmly confident that it does fit within the letter of the the challenge as written.
It did say sprite, and not scene. I guess this depends on your definition. In defense, it asked for transparency, not transparent background. It does have fruit/veggie head and humanoid body, though the presence of several key figures is confusing it. This is a thinker. To the Round Table, mods!
