Title: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Hiemie on Jun 24, 2010, 08:08 PM
Hey! Hey you! You ready for action, excitement, women, men... something else? Well get your luggage packed and your tickets purchased, because it's time for the VOID Invitational!  Tell your friends!

The Void Invitational is a new Tournament looking for fresh faces and even fresher blood!  Been wanting to get in?  Come on in! Have a friend you've been trying to get to join?  Send 'em over.  We're opening our doors with a tourney with new people in mind!

Entervoid is the premier Internet comic battle site.  We've been pitting artists against each other in sequential combat for over seven years now and are looking for new talent!  You can come here to compete, improve, and/or just mess around.  It's all up to you!  Swing by the FAQ (http://entervoid.com/FAQ.php) for additional information, or check out the comics competiton in action (http://entervoid.com/comics.php)

Normally to get in, you'd need a bunch of images and a biography of your character, but for this tournament only, you can skip all that if you'd like by providing us with some form of proof of your artistic skill (deviant page, links to gallery, etc.)... but having pages doesn't hurt.


Details:

* You can only participate if you have never had a character or all of your characters are currently dead.

*To enter you need to post your character's name and design sheet in this topic and also submit them through the site (http://entervoid.com/create_character.php) (You must have an account and be logged in to make a character).... OR YOU AREN'T GETTING IN.

*Entry through the site must have a design sheet, a bio, and some proof or artistic skill. Sequentials being preferred or most welcome, but failing that some proof of ability is required.

*You have until July 24th to enter. A month is plenty of time to get your entry ready.

*Artists are given one week each round to complete a comic with a minimum of 3 pages.

*The winner of the tournament will be declared Grand Poobah of the Void Invitational 2010.

*All characters who get into the tournament become permanent characters.

*It is recommended that you read the FAQ (http://entervoid.com/FAQ.php) and check out the comics competiton in action (http://entervoid.com/comics.php) to get a feel for the site.

*Even if you aren't participating, tell your friends.  Let everyone you can know about this, the more the merrier. I'm actually really hoping you spread the word.

Post by: Charlie on Jun 24, 2010, 08:17 PM
Well seeing as my SDT character is dead and I'm at a roadblock with my actual character for here right now, it would be a good chance to try other stuff out. I'll start getting something ready for this!

Just wondering what happens to the characters that lose, does that mean they have to go back through the normal procedures or are all characters put into this that are accepted permanent VOID characters? Or is it a death match thing again haha? I'm just curious as to what happens is all.

Either way I'm game, I'll get started on something.

I am very tempted. But I don't want to join until I know my schedule... so you may hear something later from me! = D

All characters who get in are permanent characters on Void.

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH


seriously join.

It's a free character.

Yeah, I'm gonna join for sure : D. Gonna get started on something tonight possibly.

I'll be sure to whore this out on my DA and any other galleries.

Post by: Orion on Jun 24, 2010, 08:33 PM
Hmmm... I have a first character I have been working on and this could be a great way to start but I have been working on the first comic pages for him... Depending on how long this tournament last (I start college back up in mid august) I would want in, but establishing the character now would give him more time to do stuff sooner and for me to get ready for it with some comics under my belt...

If we apply for this with just a character sheet does that mean we can battle right away before the Invite?

Well, it should start in late july, and it's as long as however many people enter. Like a 32 person tourney would be 5 rounds, so 10 weeks. It depends on how many people enter.

And you'll get in whenever the tournament starts, so you can't fight before it starts.

Okay, so I could still submit my character the normal way and then enter after the fact since I am a new guy anyway?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!

It's nice to go through the proper channels, but that's sort of defeating the point.

It's nice to have intro pages if you do want to use them to enter, it would help.

If you enter through traditional means and not for the tourney so you can fight before the tourney,no, you can't get in.

But if you're entering your character for the tourney so you get in when it starts, then yes, you can get in.

Gave up four years ago.

Well if that is the case, I think I can wait a month at the very least to get battling. It'll give me time to polish what I have.

This ought to rock.  8)

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

Pft... WEAKLINGS! I have 2 level 80s on WoW and raid on there but dammit I get comics done. You guys just need time management skills to still play games as well as get stuff done

And yes Pi, you would be eligible as you have no living characters unless I read the rules wrong. The same would go for any people who have just done the SDT and stuff.

Yay I'm not the only one :D for a lot of my friends they have to choose to play games or draw, don't have to choose when you can do both! I think I drew half of one of my battles while leveling fishing on WoW but in most cases of course you're not gonna do them at the same time

But yeah, any newcomers reading this thread you guys should post some links to examples of your work so we know what to expect!

I think you should have to NOT DEFAULT to get your character permanent in Void though. Anybody that makes it into the tourney but defaults at any point should not get an auto-in. That would keep this tourney pretty default free.

We submit a design sheet and a bio and then when July 24th rolls around we're assigned an opponent out of the other design and bio guys for a one week battle? Can it really be that easy?

Well, if someone thinks like that, they're just too lazy to do comics anyway and their score will suffer. Anyway, I think we shouldn't punish new people for defaulting like that. Let's say one nice guy defaulted for reasons beyond not being lazy. He might be awesome and legitimately interested in the site, but since he caught a raw deal, he loses the character he wanted to use.

We should be more welcoming, not punishing.

It wouldn't be a punishing thing. The artist could still do a 2 to 4 page intro and submit the character to the site regular style if he defaulted. I wasn't thinking he/she would be banned with that character for good, just wouldn't get an auto-in... but it's your idea, I just thought I'd throw that out there since I personnally hate defaults, hate tournaments that have defaults in them, and thought defaults turned this years SDT into one of the biggest jokes I've pretty much ever seen on Void. Just an idea though. Like I said, I realy do think it's one of the coolest ideas for an event on Void that I've seen!

Eh, we shouldn't overcomplicate it. And not letting them in if they default is a punishing thing. I know they suck, but they happen. Void isn't a job, it's a hobby.

And how was this year's SDT the biggest joke ever?

Liam
Age: 19
Currently attending Void University

Liam is a Ulfhednar (or Berserker) Werewolf who does not transform during a full moon like regular werewolves, but instead changes when faced with any type of overwhelming stress be it from emotional breakdowns, life-threatening situations, temper tantrums, etc. Liam has a very negative self image and trouble trusting people as he's had bad experiences with socializing before, especially with his condition, so he prefers to keep to himself. His werewolf self however embodies everything that Liam isn't in his human form. Where Liam is weak-willed, the werewolf is strong. Where he is passive or self-repressive, his werewolf self is aggressive and uninhibited.

*Forgive the lack of detail, but I'd like to keep things simple so people doesn’t have to read 3423402 paragraphs just for a 1 week battle, if that's okay with you guys.  I'll add more later if necessary.

DA gallery (old): http://himura-chan.deviantart.com/gallery/ /  Comic work (recent, different account): http://braindeadmareep.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2hhevf

I also have a few questions...
-When exactly can we submit to the site? Is anytime before the deadline on the 24th alright, or should we submit it specifically ON that date?
-And is it alright if I don't have my character's bio expressly on the reference sheet or should I add it on there?

I wanted to know, would it be better to exhibit a character in this tourney, or are we still allowed to just apply through the incubator and the approval committee n' all that?

And which would be a better idea?

Without knowing anything about your current skill level, the odds of getting in are much better through this tournament than normal means.

You may get more out of trying to go the normal route and all the comments and critiques you'd receive that way, or else you may get more from just jumping in and doing some comics.

Yer call.

I also have a few questions...
-When exactly can we submit to the site? Is anytime before the deadline on the 24th alright, or should we submit it specifically ON that date?
-And is it alright if I don't have my character's bio expressly on the reference sheet or should I add it on there?

Er, sorry for all the questions, I just want to get things right. :'D Thanks for your time!

you can submit anyitme before the 24th

the bio is to be included seperately when you submit your character thru the site.....don't paste it onto your design sheet



I would suggest you check out the main site for both the FAQ (http://entervoid.com/FAQ.php) and the existing character profiles (http://entervoid.com/leaderboard.php)....this will better explain what is required

In addition to Toast's response, it also depends how ready you think you are to take on a 1 week long battle. If you think you can handle it, awesome, join the tourney. But if not just go the regular way. Not everyone can do it, I know I sure as hell can't haha

Bain Carter
Age 16
Primary Source of Power: His left eye. Through his left eye, he can control his scarf and use it like an extra pair of arms. Due to the compressed fabric, the smaller and tighter it gets the harder they hit. The farthest they can reach while attached to him is 100 feet. Once tightened they have the strength to lift 1 ton.
Uses include spring boards, extra pairs of arms, and parachute.
Other than fighting with his scarf his has little experience with hand to hand. Essentially he's a push over without it. His best asset is his speed, however his reflexes are usually impaired during stressful situations.
Alone he's loud and boisterous, enjoying cups of coffee and the occasional day time soap opera. He avidly watches Wendy Williams and generally watched Maury. Around people he's skittish and nervous, almost to the point where he might cry if someone's mad at him. He hates fighting people and prefers to run away or try and talk it out, using any path and method possible. Polite and extremely apologetic, he'll say bless you no matter how many times someone sneezes, and would continue to mutter it under his breath after someone asks him to stop. However, if there's a robot of giant monster its a completely different situation. He loves shows like Power Rangers and Kamen Rider, even to the point of collecting helmets just for the heck of it. Ever since he was ten, he would go out looking for big things to fight, mostly bear cubs and an old rumbly car he found abandoned. Despite his excitement, he still only goes as far as scaring away whatever monster he was fighting or just tries to knock it out.

Double defaults. A three way, but then no three way when numbers are uneven again. A bye week for one member... but then that member defaults on his next fight. A double default again I think but can't be sure because the record of it is not even there at all for some reason? Deleted like it never happened.

My zombie character Tod: (Madelyn's presence may be a bad omen :P )
(in short)He came from a 19th-century town getting overrun by the zombie plague, and became one of the living dead. He was one of the subjects experimented on to become a passive zombie on the side of the township, and managed to be the only success, but escaped.

He doesn't understand that people's mortality is different to his own (causing some nasty accidents), but is usually well meaning with a little kid's mind (and loves small animals...though they tend to get sat on). As he no longer needs his vital organs, he usually stores things inside his chest wound, and is always having to stitch himself up.

http://x-riot.deviantart.com/ is my DA, but seeing as that's just full of lazy pinups and such, i'll prolly draw up an intro anyway before the deadline.. (here's to not running away this time hopefully-will submit proper once i have some better evidence)

Mortimerr is a dandy demon. His interests are: Women, baroque music, dancing, your soul, playing with mortals...
Always polite and honest, very sensitive of what people think of him, even if he tries to hide that fact. Just because he's a twisted soul collector, doesn't mean he doesn't want people to like him... or respect him... or at least fear him.
He has inverted colors and the left side of his body is scarred and dead-looking. He is always like that (though he has not always been, he was "normal", a long, long time ago), but his invertion effect on his surroundings is limited to casting a light instead of a shadow.
He can manipulate his blood and turn it into any material, but not back. The blood does not move particularly fast. He canto make objects that are too mechanically complex.
He collects soul. The more the person seems to have a strong will, the more he will want their soul.

I find he is easier to understand when inverted... that' something to work on.
But hey, http://fred-s-kaed.deviantart.com/art/inverted-Mortimerr-169527071 !

And I think the way we did it via the SDT was that you just submit your design sheet in place of intro page 1 and 2, otherwise it won't let you pass.

Edit: Yeah, just do this :

Post by: Kuro on Jun 30, 2010, 06:41 AM
I gotta say I am in favor of what Carlito originally suggested though about defaults. Maybe not that the character's just written off entirely. Perhaps a holding pattern status?

I mean, say someone defaults even while having this free pass to get in. Well-intentioned or not, it's still pretty bad form. People have an opportunity here & if they still blow that, they should have to show something to get to an active status on the site. So instead of just saying the character's dead, can we put it on a temporary retired status or something until maybe proper intro pages are given? I mean the proper channels of getting a character on the site are ultimately not that intensive, just something I feel a lot of people put off doing. If the character's already in & all they need are a few intro pages to get battling, it doesn't feel like asking the world.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Darius Corry on Jun 30, 2010, 07:12 AM
I think if they were to default on first match/battle, a beyond battle would be a redeemable action worthy of being  reactivated. Maybe of their introduction or their absence in battle, heck even the battle they missed out on, SOMETHING so we know they intend to exist/particpate in the site and not just dropping in on the opportunity just because
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Hiemie on Jun 30, 2010, 08:40 AM
Well, is that the popular consensus? The default/redeem thing is entirely up to Toast then. I'm super welcoming anyway. If they enter just to drop by, then default and never do anything again, then what's the point of making them redeem themselves if they're never coming back?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Jun 30, 2010, 08:53 AM
I'll back up Hiemie here. Getting defaulted on sucks ass and yeah, it is cheap to get in an easier way and drop the ball, but eh... I know how people are, if they default and get their character taken away they're never going to do that BB to get unretired. I'd rather they stick around and potentially do more comics.

Defaulting sucks but you get over it. I got defaulted on my first battle and I'm not laying awake at night crying about it haha

That was recommended to me actually by someone. A signup thread and a rules thread.

Anyway, exactly what Angie said. We want people here, and making comics. Void was founded by people who didn't know the site. A bunch of random people with fighting characters who sometimes turned in, and sometimes didn't. Our first tourney was a disaster if I recall, riddled with defaults, but those people still brought new people and still made comics afterwards. We should be embracing this new crowd.

Yes, you might get a new defaultmaster-Johnny (No offense Johnny, you're still a cool person.... and winner of King's Cup...) but you also might randomly get a new Sheldon. It doesn't even need to be those extremes. People should be allowed to make mistakes and grow.

As long as people are making comics and enjoying themselves, what's it matter?

I welcome wholeheartedly all of our new participants.

It can't be a comics site without comics though. If we're nixing the intro pages for this tourney, then hopefully the artists will all provide banging comic pages. If one of them instead gives us nothing, how's it unfair to ask for some actual comic pages before officially becoming active? Like I said, this whole thing's an opportunity. If they can't capitalize on that opportunity, they're not penalized, they'll just have to go through the proper channels. Others have been doing it for a while now, & so will those stumbling onto Void in the weeks following.

Besides...

Post by: Cherubas on Jun 30, 2010, 10:45 AM
To my understanding we've already established that the more people sign up for this the longer it's going to take. If we end up with a lot of competitors and someone pops out two impressive comics in a row for the first two weeks and then on the third week his girlfriend dumps him, his mother dies, his computer explodes, and his sidekick is blown up by the Joker, he's still not allowed to default? I understand it's frowned upon and yeah, I'm not part of the family yet so my opinion may not carry more weight than a wet paper bag, but I also see there are people with several defaults who are already in. The guys who make a character just to have one and default on their very first battle, fine, throw them to the dogs and do whatever, but this whole "if someone defaults at any point" business is too much in my opinion. Just throwing in my two cents.

Because some people WILL come back. Not all of them. We can't expect every flower to bloom. We're expecting to get new people an additional audience. You know what happens to people who default and never turn stuff in? They have low ranks and bad scores. We don't need to babysit them.

People know who they'll want to fight and who not to fight. If someone doesn't turn in, no one will want to fight them. We don't need to instill additional discouragement and control what other people are using the site for.

Even if they never submit, they might bring it up with their friends, who might be REALLY interested. No one new is talking about Void. It's become very inclusive. It's like how a country's population is low and getting lower because no one is reproducing. We should worry about the comics that are submitted, and not just if people ARE going to submit.

And Cherubas, I really like the point you just made. That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're giving outsiders this awful "NO MISTAKES EVER" impression.

Yes, the real world is all "DO THIS OR ELSE", but jeez, this is a comic's hobby site on the internet.

Who cares about the first round? It just means they don't get further in the tournament, their scores suffer, and they lost. That's plenty. They try to do another comic and fuck up? There's 2 losses by default and more shit scores. If they're like that, no one is gonna fight them because they never turn in. We don't need to make them prove themselves. Don't associate not handing in comics with not being good. Remember Canaan? He never turns in, but he's talented and even has professional work.

I still really don't see what the big deal is, defaults happen, it's not the end of the world.

This whole tourney is to get people to come to Void and have a chance to just get in and experience in it. We have such a reputation of being hardass jerks and by proving that we're hardass jerks by taking away people's toys doesn't really help our image. I think this is one event where we should just be chill.

We also have a lack of new people, the approvals have been dry for a few months, anything to bring in some new people is great. Sucks if they drop the ball but hey, if they do an awesome comic down the line that's great.

If this was a super serious SDT or Arma or Heavy Weight or some other established event we hold in high regard, it would be different. But this is just a fun little tourney to get some new people in.

Something to consider for future reference is the lower half of the body feels a little stiff compared to the upper body, but it's nothing earth shattering that needs to be fixed right now. Looks good!

To my understanding we've already established that the more people sign up for this the longer it's going to take. If we end up with a lot of competitors and someone pops out two impressive comics in a row for the first two weeks and then on the third week his girlfriend dumps him, his mother dies, his computer explodes, and his sidekick is blown up by the Joker, he's still not allowed to default? I understand it's frowned upon and yeah, I'm not part of the family yet so my opinion may not carry more weight than a wet paper bag, but I also see there are people with several defaults who are already in. The guys who make a character just to have one and default on their very first battle, fine, throw them to the dogs and do whatever, but this whole "if someone defaults at any point" business is too much in my opinion. Just throwing in my two cents.

You make a good point. Good comics for 2 rounds and you win both and then life happens... does seem like punishment to take the character away. I didn't mean it that way. Plus I'm ALL FOR this tournament and really excited for it. I was just thinking about the beginning rounds mainly.
Do whatever, it was just a suggestion.
and Mishi your stuff looks SICK!

Well, for the sake of making my interest to enter clear. I present my 10 year-old teleporter/martial arts prodigy.
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/182/d/2/Yet_Another_by_Cherubas.png)
Name: Boek Aestrin

History: When Boek's mother told Boek's grandfather that she was pregnant, the man instantly gagged to death on his ham and swiss sandwich. Boek is named after the last noise that said grandfather made, as a reminder to the boy of the destruction he brings to everything he touches. With his 11th birthday approaching Boek has discovered he has the ability to teleport. He has no idea why and knows that his mother won't explain it to him any time soon because that would require more than a six word sentence, but the boy chooses not to look his gift horse in the mouth. Boek knows that having a super power in Void City means only one thing: You fight. Having spent most of his life being taught how to fight, Boek makes it his goal to learn one thing from every fighter in Void. The boy reasons that by the time he's done that, there won't be anyone in the city he can't beat. Boek is a generally upbeat, somewhat naive kid. He seeks to impress others in everything he does and never backs down from a challenge. He's often (unintentionally) found to be irritating because he's overly childish.

If we're 2 short, we should totally let Ronin and Airlight enter.

I was actually considering that if we're like a few people short, it'd be cool to have some regulars in reserve. I'd rather let 2 oldies in than let 6 people be excluded.

And I think the tourney should start on the 26th. Having the 25th be the day of deciding and maybe a superlastminute deadline for people.

Name: Ms. Clean
(Real Name Unknown)
Species: Human

Favorite Color: White (Though not usually a part of her clothes.)

Mission/ Objective:
Make the world (VOID) a CLEANER and better place.

Intro:
After Ms. Clean arrived to Void City she knew that was where she was supposed to be. The place was filled with dirt and grime as well as dirty and grimy people. She knew the job would be difficult but also that she would conquer scum in any shape or form and come out on top. Can you imagine Void clean!?!? She sure can! In order to make a living she plans on selling her cleaning products and cleaning houses so she can clean up the community in her spare time.

History:
Once arriving in Void she sort of forgets her family and just remembers she wasn't appreciated for her talents. When she was younger she created a solar-powered vacuum ( 3rd grade) and then developed a super concentrated chemical bleach (9th grade) that may cause perminent damage if it came in contact with skin. Ms.Clean is constintly looking for other cleaning products she can create. She has a toolbelt filled with helpful cleaning tools like a toothbrush, bleach spray, sponge, rag, etc. She has a brown teddy bear called Dirt Buster (D.B.) who she talks to sometimes when there is nobody else. She doesn't have OCD (Obsessive -Cumplusive Disorder) but does go through some crazy episodes when triggered.

Personality:
Overall a pleasant girl. Gets attached easily and is very protective of loved ones (currently only DB). A great friend to have because she'll always have your back and clean your place for free. Is independent but easily confused and nervous. Isn't afraid of a fight, even though she's inexperienced.
        Hates: When you dirty a place she JUST cleaned!
                  Rude people!
        Likes: To CLEAN!
                 Creating more efficient and quicker ways to cleaning.
                 Vultures - Nature's Cleaners

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/Otamie/BEEFthevoidrefDEF.jpg)


BIO:

Full name: Unknown
Nickname: Beef
Age: 20
Height: 5`4" but can get longer due to ability
Music taste: Country, Modern Country, Industrial Country, Industrial Modern Country

Back-story:
Beef comes from a big family of miss formed children. These children seem to adjust themselves to the creatures from their direct environment. Beef has a high affinity to Frogs, Snakes and Piranha's deeply nested in his DNA and it shows. This also enables him to use a few things from his animal counterparts which will be explained later. How he lost his left arm? Some say a fisherman caught him in his net and while chopping up all the fish he cut off Beef's arm while he was still asleep. Others say that he caught a decease and he chewed his own arm off to get rid or it. When asked Beef will only reply with the fact that he doesn't want to talk about it.


Characteristics:
Beef is the kind of guy that likes to get his hands dirty. Up close and personal is how its suppose to be. This however doesn't mean he's stupid. With the cunning of the snake, The quickness of the piranha and the serenity of the frog his personality is surprisingly balanced. This makes him a quick thinker a daring guy and a fast learner. But all these animals have one thing in conmen. Fear, Both the Frog and piranha are not one to embrace danger and the snake wouldn't dare it. This makes Beef a nerves guy at times and he is quick to run away when things get hairy. Beef always feels underrated to people with two arms. He will clearly state that "you shouldn't be so full of yourself with those two arms" and "Well, what did you expect from a guy with one arm?"

Abilities: His abilities come forth from his animal side's

The Frog:
The tongue and the legs are the weapons of the frog. Strong legs to jump high and to use powerful kicks even in mid air. A long and sticky tongue to grab hold of pray and corner them.

The Snake:
The snake's body slips its way out of danger. So does the stomach area of Beef. He can "stretch" or "grow" to a freighting abnormal length and can even wrap himself around his enemies. The right arm holds the quickness of the snake. It does not pack a strong punch but is extremely fast. It strikes and attacks just like the head of a snake.

The Piranha:
Snap snap snap! a swarm of piranha's can devour a whole cow in mere minutes! (not actual fact) Now Beef here has only one mouth but its the size of a human mouth and can snap as fast as a piranha! Though this is mostly Beef's last weapon of defense. He doesn't like to bite people. Punching and kicking however, is not so much a problem.

Meet Auvre!

http://i45.tinypic.com/rm7i2w.jpg (http://i45.tinypic.com/rm7i2w.jpg)

(http://i45.tinypic.com/zx4pd0.jpg)

Full Name: Auvre de Soare

Age: 22

Height: 180 cm/5'10"

Weight: 79 kg/175 lbs

Background: Although born into the noble family of Soare, Auvre certainly didn't live the life of prosperity one imagines. His mother had passed away early in his life, while his hopelessly romantic father quickly married a selfish, greedy gypsy by the name of Tiganja. All luxuries and fancies were available at the snap of a finger for Auvre---except the love and trust of his own family. Despite being a rather spoiled rotten child, Auvre still tried is best to win the love and affections of his father, while keeping a keen eye on his avaricious new mother. When he turned sixteen, he was outraged to find out that his step-mother had received deed to all his father's riches and how deliciously foolish Ciaj was to throw around his treasures for the sake of his infratuations. After Tiganja admitted to only having commitment to her husband for the sake of fortune and not for love, Auvre snatched the contract from her grasp, and threw it into the fireplace. His own step-mother then called for the family guard to burn his arm as punishment for destroying her deed. To add to his misfortunes, Ciaj did not believe that Tiganja was responsible for his injuries, as the feeling of cold betrayal lead him to believe that he was not loved or even wanted by his own family, causing him to run away from home---that is, after stealing some of Tiganjya's beloved golden artifacts as well as carrying his deceased mother's pendant around his neck. He now lives in The Desert City of Void as a treasure and bounty hunter---even a thief if he must---,with the conclusion that money could really buy all the happiness in life---that happiness, for him, being solid with the awesome lustre of gold.
Personality: Acts like a spoiled child, throwing violent paroxysms when things don't happen the way he sees fit. A bit selfish, and usually disregards the feelings of others unless they are in dire dependency. Uninterested in sexual conduct. Addicted to gold and its color, but starting to become fond of the bloody hue of crimson as well. Has the habit of stroking anyone's hair that resembles a golden blonde. Hates cold weather, young children, and silver; fears most insects---even harmless ones.

It says i need to make an Introduction Story if i want to submit my character to the site. But we didn't need one for this tournament am i correct? So do i still need to make one to get in or is there some other way? Sorry if this was explained before but i can't find it anywhere.

It's explained somewhere in the thread but basically just post your design sheet again and again in place of an intro story (Where two is the minimum requirement of pages so you post your design sheet twice).

Is it possible to make an introduction comic even after you already submitted your character? And what else can I change after submission (I read somewhere that you need to update your ref sheet when you get a scar so i know you can update your ref sheet).

Everything can be updated later, though the character should largely remain the same.  Meaning, we don't want to approve an 8" clown with a machine gun fetish and see her turned into an rabid ankle-biting hamster.

(http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/starphoenix6/NevermoreRef.png)

I maaaaaybe might've gone just a little overboard with the ref, oh well.

Name: Nevermore
Height: 7'8" (with hat)
Weight: Very light
Species: Possessed Scarecrow

About: After being brought to life by an evil curse known as the "curse of nevermore," the scarecrow wreaked havoc and terror on countless victims. Eventually it was defeated with a special scythe that has been enchanted to dispel the curse. However, the curse proved too strong to actually destroy and was only weakened and removed from it's host as a spirit while a little power was leftover in the scarecrow. Having the evil separated from itself, the scarecrow, which called itself Nevermore after the curse, began to wander the Earth while fleeing from the dark specter that seeks to reclaim it's original body and power. Recently, Nevermore has came across a new place to stay in Void City...

Nevermore is a quiet and logical individual. He understands that his presence among others could frighten them or put the in harm's way, so he avoids contact as much as possible and sticks to the shadows when moving. Although that doesn't mean he enjoys some company every now and then. During his travels, he has attempted to understand human behavior and is very insightful towards most of the situations he's in. Nevy is constantly tormented by his past and fear of being captured by the curse, so he always seems to be troubled and depressed when left to his own thoughts. He doesn't necessarily like violence, but he won't hesitate to attack if threatened or if someone is guilty of an evil sin. Due to the fear of his curse, he's developed a slight phobia of black birds.

Aside from having an enchanted scythe, Nevermore uses his lightweight and surroundings to his advantage. What he lacks in physical strength, he makes up for in agility and swift maneuvers. Being a scarecrow, he has an unlimited amount of stamina, but getting him soaked could slow him down. He has a certain degree of magical prowess and knowledge of runes, but these abilities are pretty weak and only induce some kind of fear or illusion on a single target.


Sorry if this is like complete overkill, hehe...
And feedback is always welcomed!

All of this is fine except for perhaps the text on the design sheet.  It's just too small and not as clear.  If those notes are something you want people to read then I suggest either make it a size or two bigger or changing the font to something clearer.  Though I am of the opinion that you probably don't need all that text in the design sheet anyways and can keep it as part of the bio.

Alright, I've put this off long enough.  Here we go:

(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b193/vergeofsanity/sketchyIcon.jpg)

(http://www.beardedmenace.com/images/fulls/sketchyDS_F.jpg)

Name: Sketchy
Age: 7
Height: 3'4"
Weight: 45lbs

Sketchy is a living doodle.  He is a prankster and a vandalizer, with the main goal of making his creator Dan's life a living hell.  Living in Dan's imagination has become increasingly boring as of late, so Sketchy demands Dan send him to VOID City to participate in the Invitational.  Sketchy is here to win, to build a mountain out of his fallen enemies and sit on his throne as King. 

Sketchy is obnoxious, loud mouthed and sarcastic.  He is a walking parody of pop culture and doesn't follow rules very well.  Physically he is small and weak, but therefore agile.  Against a larger foe, he will rely on his speed and wit to confound them.  He will use his big mouth to pump himself up and try to psyche out his opponent, but words won't crack skulls.  That's what his pencil is for.

Sketchy's signature ability is his connection with the Paper World.  He can use any paper source as a "portal" into this realm.  While this trick is used mainly for speedy travel, Sketchy can draw anything into existence inside of the Paper World.  But he can only pull out into the physical world what will fit through his exit.  Pulling his opponent in with him would be tricky, but not impossible.

Okay I am super ultra mega shy/nervous about this, and even after finishing my material I was deliberating whether to enter or not... but I'm going to go for it; you can't win any battles you don't enter, right! (that was a weirdly appropriate saying to use)

Anyways, I'm entering a duo of "BFFs fo' lyfe" Whitcomb and Papillion. I wanted some really obnoxious characters for once!

(http://nematodeinspace.com/mickey/voidhead.jpg)

Whitcomb and Papillion were once young moon entrepreneurs, but it turned out the market on the moon isn't as booming as they thought! So, they returned to earth to find a place Papillion could operate her manicure business. She has a full arsenal of giant manicure equipment left over from doing nails for moon giants. (You know, moon giants.)  Whitcomb is pretty frustrated that his "moon rock catching" didn't lead anywhere, and now just uses his anti-gravity gun to throw things around.

"Dubya" and "Pipi" are best friends for life, and are generally always together. They are extremely obnoxious, and talk in fist-pumpin' slang. Their hobbies include their daily beauty ritual (GTL) and partying/drinking like there's no tomorrow.

(http://nematodeinspace.com/mickey/voiddesignsheet.png)
(I know you see that hand. Don't say anything and maybe it'll go away?)

Also, I made a sort of intro comic... it doesn't really have any hardcore backgrounds like it says to in the guidelines, but I guess since we don't even need these comics for this tournament it doesn't really matter, right? I hope you guys don't mind that I took 3 pages and smushed them into one big image...

Name: Lindsey Pescione
Age: early 22
Detective

A French-Italian woman living in London. As a child she lived in Italy with her parents and brother. Her gambling addicted father accumulated huge debts to various people and eventually left the family and fled Italy. With their source of money gone, people kept coming to collect the debt from her mother who couldn't pay. Fed up, the collectors killed her mother and Lindsey and her brother were sent off to live with different adoptive families. Lindsey's new family moved to London to get away from the collectors. As she grew older, she began to resent her father for leaving and getting her mother killed. Lindsey had resolved to find her father and have him arrested. Problem was, she had no idea where he went. She had the idea to hire a detective to help track him down, but ultimately couldn't afford it. Instead she took it upon herself to start researching and searching for him. Through her work, she helped solve several smaller cases but could not find out anything regarding the whereabouts of her father. After getting a request to find a man in Void City who fits her last known description of her father, she heads off in hopes of finding him.

Lindsey is well mannered and kind to just about everybody, but she has a short temper and does not put up with crap. She's a fairly serious person, pretty smart and optimistic.
Fluent in French.

I finally have a character, it's like a dream come true.

(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/189/0/e/ENTERVOID__Salvo_Galactore_by_JimValid.jpg)

Full name: Salvatore Valentino Galactore
Nickname: Salvo
Age: 30
Height: 6’10
Weight: 410 lbs (well built)
Ethnicity: Italian

Salvatore Galactore is a perfect Gentleman. Always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, always ready to stand for justice and always snappily dressed; Salvatore strives to be a kind-hearted hero and a symbol of hope for those without it.
That being said, Salvo’s biggest weakness is that he’s too nice and definitely way too trusting. He’s also quite tenacious about fighting evil; to the point where he’ll chase down someone he believes to be an evildoer who actually turns out to be no more harmful than a declawed kitten.
At least it can be said that he always apologizes when he realizes that he’s wrong, but it still doesn’t make the whole ordeal any less painful to those who don’t help him to realize soon enough.
Overall, Salvo draws too much attention to himself; attention that may very well get him killed one day.


Backstory:
Salvo hails from a bloodline of dark psychic practitioners who masquerade as fortune tellers and wandering gypsies.
It is in the Galactore family creed to travel the world and bring about peace wherever there is strife; however, there are some places that even the Galactore family forbids their kin to visit.
One such place is the enigmatic Void City; a city that sees destruction as often as it sees the sunrise, yet still it remains intact and full of conflict.
Not heeding the words of his Nonna, Salvo set off to Void City and even started renting an apartment there.
His goals? To bring peace to Void City through ultimately understanding what it is that draws people to it, and what effect the city seems to have on its occupants to make them want to fight all the time.
Salvo vows to get to the bottom of this and set things right!


Capabilities:
The purple star markings on Salvo’s body are a symbol of the Galactore bloodline’s power.
The Galactore family teaches their children from an early age to master dark powers of the mind, so that they may build a tolerance for dark presences within themselves and ultimately protect themselves from hostile mind invasions. As you can imagine, they are firm believers in ‘fighting fire with fire’.

 - The dark powers at Salvo’s disposal augment his physical strength; he can break through most mundane walls with ease and can uproot common light poles if given a chance.

- Salvo’s powers also allows him the ability to project tangible force barriers to further bolster his defensive capabilities.

- Perhaps the most intriguing of the Galactore Bloodline’s powers is the ‘Galactore Mind-Tap’. This technique allows the user to tap into the memories stored in a subject’s mind. To execute correctly, the user must press one of their sacred purple star markings over a subject’s forehead and hold it there. For the duration of the technique, the user’s body is locked in position.
The amount and severity of the information learned from a subject is entirely dependent on the user’s ability to maintain physical connection and dominance over the subject’s mind. This is why Salvo has trained his body as well as his mind.

-Salvo can meditate and use freshly learned memories gained through the Galactore Mind-Tap to visualize a ghostly trail that will lead him to objects, places and even people that are present within the memories.


Life in Void City:
-As much as he would like to do nothing but fight evil all day, Salvo knows he has to make a living somehow, so he is currently working to set up a clinic where he can be a counseling psychologist. He figures he might as well earn a living helping people whenever he’s not out helping people.

-Salvo is somewhat taken aback by the mistreatment of the Anthro community of Void, so he makes it a habit to be on the lookout for signs of prejudice against them and takes part in any protests against VCPD brutality whenever possible.


Extra little details:
-Salvo is VERY flamboyant. Even on the odd chance that he’s being deadly serious, he’ll still fight using fanciful movements, yet somehow he remains a competitive fighter.

-Even Salvo cannot keep track of all the information he obtains through the Mind-Tap, so he often writes down whatever new information he learns while it’s fresh in his head into a book that he keeps on him at all times. If not for the book, Salvo would not be able to remember half the people that he meets.

To be honest? I sorta just guessed the weight. I'm not very savvy on that kind of information and i'm also Australian so i'm used to seeing weight portrayed in kilograms.

Any idea what his weight should actually be?

Ideally anywhere between 350 to 450.  But that's up to you.

Post by: JimValid on Jul 08, 2010, 11:41 AM
I changed his weight to 410 lbs. Thanks for the advice! I did some more reading on average weight/height ratios for someone his size and i agree that someone as fabulously buff as Galactore needed to be heavier. Thanks a bunch for the suggestion, it was the one area of his bio that i was most iffy about :3

Journo, normally on his planet, is the leader of a rebel group he calls family. MOST of the time they try to have his gang help the needy and with the war that is undergoing on his planet....well....  they are poor themselves and end up stealing from wealthy giving himself and the group a wonderful label of PIRATE on their head. Good job, Journo.

I love that character, I want to draw him. Next week I'm planning on making a banner anyway so I'll probably throw him on it :D!

I'll probably submit through the mainsite tonight, just gotta write up a bio and other stuff.

Post by: Enaxon on Jul 10, 2010, 04:33 PM
So Nibbles informed me over on dA and I was REAAAAALLY on the wall about it. I stopped trying to get into VOID years ago, mostly because I didn't feel like I was good enough for it. But I remembered the community here is pretty ace, and promotes artistic growth, just not in the smother in asspats type of way, which is fine by me now that I'm a little bit older.

I'm not sure if I can post some unfinished concept art, buuuut....
(http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h180/el-koze/voidstuff/th_dreadrefbeta.png) (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h180/el-koze/voidstuff/dreadrefbeta.png)

 (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h180/el-koze/voidstuff/moredread.png)

I'm on the wall about which anatomy I want to use, since I'll be drawing him LOTS and I want to stick with a style I can draw in consistently.

(Click to Enlarge!)


And if this is more suited for Go For Broke/Incubator, I'm horrifically sorry ;^;

Yes, he's a monster-esque character but I plan on incorporating humans into his story.

Basically his name is (The) Dreadnought and he's a behemoth about 15 feet tall. He came to VOID through a cult (The Cult of The Dreadnought to be exact!) summoning him from the inside of a large abandoned building nobody would think twice about going into. He is revered as a god among the cult, obviously but he is just as mortal as the next Joe. His abilities aren't tremendously special. His body is his weapon. Punches, kicks, bites and swings of his powerful tail are his mode of combat.

I plan on within the next few days draw out some art of his followers (with hiearchy maybe? I'm so ambitious lol....) and work into how he got summoned into VOID (probably a life sized statue of him being erected of him dragged into said building and a ritual breaking the statue to reveal him). They cult is formed of fanatics bent on summoning this creature for personal gain.

I have a lot of homework to do. Read up on existing VOID gangs and crews and political hiearchy, draw more humans and work on the cult. Oh boy. :P Hope I can get some sequentials once the roughs are ironed out.

Well, that's all I have for now.

Dreadnought looks pretty cool, Enaxon :3

In terms of builds, i'd say the build you had going for him in the more sketchy drawings is a build that suits him best; the more stocky, solid build with a bit of a gut.
That kind of build just seems to work well with his demonic nature, perhaps because of the common conception that demons are powerful but indulgent creatures? Not only that but it makes him seem more beastly, like a great and powerful bear; large and intimidating but also kinda round in some areas; almost as if showing that he is well fed from the spoils of his battles.

Concept-wise I like him, I look forward to reading about his personality.

http://i25.tinypic.com/21kffns.png is some more work on it.

I'm still half debating on whether or not I should have him speak 'English' haha. I want him to be very instinctual by nature. I'm still trying to ramp up development on him. Prior to this he had NO backstory other than being a big monster. xD;;

Well, to get in, you really only NEED a design sheet in all fields. You can add the intro pages later, because I'm sure all the characters will come into existence around.... I think the 26th. PLus, you can always add your intro pages after you get in because you're free to edit your design sheet and introduction at any time.

I don't know if it was just me, but that week deadline was mean to execute on...let alone for the people who're kinda just new or don't really know the ropes to battling.

Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Jul 13, 2010, 07:02 AM
It's likely the event won't start until the 26th because we typically have events start on Mondays. I'm not 100% sure, but that's when you should probably count on drawing time starting. We usually take a few days to pick who gets in and stuff over the weekend.

I will say this just so all the new people know...

Battles don't go up automatically. I'm usually the one that puts them up and sometimes I can't get the comics up until I get home from work since the deadline is up at 3 am my time. Since comics get put up manually it can take a little while, but I normally will always have the comics up within 24 hours of the deadline. Please don't ask why they aren't up or be like "OMG THIS NEEDS TO GO UP NOW" in battle comments since it won't make me get home from work faster. Also, if anyone turns in early, the comics won't go up early because all tournament battles have to go up at roughly the same time.

And if anyone has issues with uploading http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=10641.0 when the time comes. I'll post a step by step on how to upload when drawing time starts.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!

Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Kuro on Jul 13, 2010, 08:09 AM
Do whatever you want so long as they're not late & don't look rushed.

Also, it's kind of frowned upon to post them anywhere else before the voting period on the battle ends. Once it's all said & done, it's cool to post them on your da's or blogs or what have you.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: beardedMenace on Jul 13, 2010, 08:10 AM
@otamie

I imagine you can turn in your pages any time before the deadline, what Angie is saying is that they just won't be posted publicly till after the deadline so that eveyone's work is posted at once.


Also, I just wanted to know about the round schedule.  How much time will there be inbetween drawing periods for voting?  Will it just be a one week on, one week off kinda thing?

Yes, one week drawing, voting starting the day after, next round of drawing starting the day after voting ends... until completion.

To answer WHEN the tournament will start, very likely on 07/26.  We'll be reviewing and approving characters following the deadline, randomizing brackets, then posting the match-ups on the Comics page of the main site to begin the tournament.

This. You can upload as early as you like! Hell, I prefer it when people upload early so I can knock out thumbnails ahead of time instead of thumbnailing 20 comics in one night. Just obviously it won't go up until the round is going up.

And looks awesome Noir!

Also of relevance, some supporting character to go along with Dreadnought's story. The Cult of the Dreadnought, looking to bring Dread into VOID for religious purposes...or for personal gain? :O!!!

The Acolytes that do all the grunt work.

The Apostles that send the acolytes to do the dirty work. But they maintain 'control' of the Dreadnought

More'll be revealed in the sequentials. I want to submit those along with what I have before I can call him finished. :D The refs for the cult aren't going to be submitted, but gladly shared with the people I end up battling :p

I could, though I know it's taboo to put up "sketchy references" up. Does that mean I would have to polish them up and put it up? I know it's a general suggestion, (and a fair, sense-makin' one). And I still have to keep it at 800px at the widest right?

I don't have a problem with either though. I still have a week and a half (well, maybe less) to get that done.

Really there's only the one slot for design sheet. Having more than just that, the others will get lost in the shuffle because a month down the line, no one's going to hunt through old forum posts just to see what these guys are supposed to look like. So if you think they're worth including, they're worth including right in a single, easy to find place for everybody.

800x800's the rule of thumb. Optimize as best you can & try to keep it close to that. If we have to scroll down a little bit to see more, i don't think it'd be the end of the world.

I'm pretty sure that while a 24 person fight COULD end in a 3 way, being an even number it will also break down into a 1 on 1 finale. 12 matches in the first round, 6 in the second, etc.

@Enaxon/Koze: That beast be stylin'. I like the finalized anatomy, it looks great and it works equally as well for when he's on all fours.

I also approve of the monster fight.

EDIT:
I have a question regarding thumbnails. Are those determined purely by whoever is putting the battle up, or can those be determined by the artists in some way?

I've always wondered how we can specify whether we want things like this:

or this:
http://entervoid.com/comic.php?id=978

how will the first round be sorted? matches set up based on apparent skill, type, or what would seem interesting? Totally random, or can the fighters choose?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Kevin Birtcher on Jul 14, 2010, 05:10 AM
To answer WHEN the tournament will start, very likely on 07/26.  We'll be reviewing and approving characters following the deadline, randomizing brackets, then posting the match-ups on the Comics page of the main site to begin the tournament.

Oh awesome, I'm glad if it starts the week of the 26th - I have a week-long comics workshop to go to the week after, so I wouldn't have to worry about drawing for Void that week since it'd be a voting week!

I'm so excited to see the matchups... is it the 26th yet?  :P
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Kuro on Jul 14, 2010, 05:37 AM
I have a question regarding thumbnails. Are those determined purely by whoever is putting the battle up, or can those be determined by the artists in some way?

The best way to do them is to provide your own by emailing one of the people who put the battles up. Typically Angieness. And to save her the hassle, make sure they're named in the succession you want as thumb01.jpg, thumb02.jpg, & so on. That way, when the coding is done, nothing has to be renamed. Thumbs are typically 100x150px. I think Dr. Salt went about making a template which would allow you to cut up a single image easily into multiple thumbnails, but I don't know where that ended up.

Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Jul 14, 2010, 07:39 AM
Yeah, I just do generic thumbnails for every battle unless someone provides me their own because it's too much work to give every comic unique and pretty full image thumbnails on my own.

Thanks for the feedback concerning the thumbnails, i'll keep that in mind when it comes to submission time.

Since entering this thing I've been in anticipation of seeing the match-ups. Sometimes i seem to drift off and think of little else.

Wonderful, I see we got 24 prospectives. If you all enter right now, you'd all get in. 8 more, then everyone gets in again.

The next landmark is 32 people. Tell EVERYONE.

Wouldn't a 24 person tournament end in a three way?

Your point is? We've had 3 way fights before and we did have at least one 3 way final. It's fun.

Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: William_Duel on Jul 14, 2010, 03:39 PM
Yes it would be twelve one on one battles in the first round but then keep dividing in half.  Those twelve winners would have to do six one on one battles and those six winners would have to do three one on one battles and the final would be a three way.  Basically the same thing that was attempted for the SDT.  In an ideal world without defaults, this is how it would happen.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Cherubas on Jul 14, 2010, 06:53 PM
So potentially the 3 best end up working together for the finale. How is that bad?

Post by: JimValid on Jul 15, 2010, 10:32 PM
Sorry to be pestering everybody with yet more questions, but a thought occurred to me while I was thinking about intro story pages for Salvo.

Is there a canonical explanation for this tourney or is the concept of the tournament external to the world of Void and instead we have just a series of unrelated battles?

If it's left up to us to decide together what we'd like, i'd like to mention that I find the idea of a canonical explanation quite appealing and i'm willing to help create one if everyone would like it.

So, how is this tourney going to go down?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: William_Duel on Jul 15, 2010, 10:36 PM
You can pretty much do whatever.  It isn't rare for artists to get together and try to share elements and continuity.  The general rule is that everyone does whatever the fuck they want.  In my personal opinion, I think it's cool when there's a shared story.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: JimValid on Jul 15, 2010, 10:55 PM
Might I humbly volunteer myself for spearheading the development of such a thing? :3

Also, would this forum be the best place to communicate an idea, or would i need to contact each artist separately?
I'd personally prefer if I could just place an idea here and if enough people like it, then it could be displayed on the first post alongside the character roster.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: William_Duel on Jul 15, 2010, 11:14 PM
You could always start your own thread and see if there are any takers or if people will contact you.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: JimValid on Jul 15, 2010, 11:25 PM
That sounds like a good idea. I'll cook something up and then i'll post it up in a new thread.

I'll contact everyone individually but i'll also post a link here for everyone to follow once it's ready to pitch.

Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Kuro on Jul 16, 2010, 06:21 AM
It's best to put emphasis on the art & story, because a good comic is a good comic.
If it ties into all your other comics, great. If it doesn't, great. Continuity's cool, but don't feel you HAVE to connect all the dots. So long as the primary focus is the work at hand, it's your perogative to utilize canon or not. Hell, you don't even need to have it take place in the city. Void City's a option, not a stipulation.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: JimValid on Jul 16, 2010, 09:15 AM
Voila!

I have concocted a rather simple but humorous possible canonical explanation as to what the deal is with this tourney.

Everybody check it out and let me know what you think:

Also, does anyone think i should try contacting every artist separately or should i just wait for some feedback either here or on the thread i made?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Cherubas on Jul 16, 2010, 10:45 AM
I'm about 90% sure that not every artist is going to want to go with a shared tournament idea, no matter how great. Some people just prefer having more freedom. I also think that at least half of the ones who don't want to will simply ignore any private contact rather than coming right out and telling you they don't want to, but just cause it's human nature for some to shy away from confrontation. Meaning, if you do try to contact everyone privately I'm guessing about half of them won't respond either because they're too lazy, they don't have any input, or they don't want to do a tournament story at all. So my vote would be to just do it in that thread you made. You can contact people privately once you know they're interested if you have any secret details to work out.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: JimValid on Jul 16, 2010, 12:25 PM

For the new folks - I'm curious how you got here.

I know quite a few people have been sending out invitations to artists they've had an eye on.  But we've also made announcements on various websites.  So how did you find out about our tournament?  Please share.

Post by: Slagglle on Jul 17, 2010, 09:44 PM
I found out about void almost a year ago after I found Lysol jones on Deviantart. For that last year I've just been coming here every now and again to read the comics. This tournament seemed like a good chance to get in to void and start making comics.

Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Charlie on Jul 17, 2010, 10:42 PM
Well I've known about VOID for a while...since Airlight joined here actually! Only unlike him I was too scared to join in on the fun and didn't do any comics or comic battles until last year on War For Arcadia...after a year of lurking there too haha. So anyway when the SDT rolled around I joined in that since I felt a little more confident, and now I'm joining in on this cause I feel even more confident than when the SDT was hitting. So yeah...thats that!

Edit: Submitted to the main site! Intro pages and all. : D
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: JimValid on Jul 18, 2010, 04:08 AM
I've known about Void for a long time, i think since i found out that M.E.Charm from DeviantArt (his account is now shut down, he's disappeared it seems) was on here involved in an SD Tourney. After that i pretty much lurked for a long time, off and on.

I've always considered getting an account here and trying my hand at battling but i've never had the confidence for it.

Then one day i decided to just draw a character i was thinking about using on EnterVoid in a piece i submitted to DeviantArt, just for the hell of it, but i never actually decided on entering it to the website or even considered it very strongly.

Then Angieness commented on the piece, told me about the invitational and linked me this thread, so now here i am.

EDIT:
One thing i'd like to inquire about before i forget; i actually forgot to put a link to my gallery inside my bio that i submitted for Salvo on the entervoid site. I do have a link on my entry in this thread though, but I can't seem to locate any options for fixing my error on my site submission.

I bring this up because the rules for the tourney indicate that gallery links have to be in the site submissions for characters. Could anyone please let me know: how i can go about making this simple alteration, or do i not need to?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: mickequ on Jul 18, 2010, 05:38 AM
I'd been thinking about joining Void FOREVER. I've actually had an account on Void so old that the join date hadn't been recorded haha. I never did anything with that account though, except write a really embarrassing bio of myself. (I was like 14...)

Anyways I heard about this tournament on zsabreuser's DeviantART journal and it made me wanna come back and see if I could actually do Void for real this time. That's it! Pretty boring story...
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Cherubas on Jul 18, 2010, 08:45 AM
Regrettably I can't recall who was responsible. I can tell you that a little over a month ago while I was having a random "look at the newest submissions in deviantart and see if any catch my fancy, if not, refresh the page" session, I saw someone's comic. I gave it a look and in their author's comments they mentioned they had made it for this site. I normally would have moved on but I was in a curious mood and decided to check it out. Angie was the one who told me I should act on the tournament.

Well, mind you we have 24 entrants HERE but we need everyone to submit through the site right now if we're gonna have the 24 that have signed up through the thread.

Otherwise, the number will drop to 16 and some people may not get in. And that would be sad. Maybe Toast will let some people have Byes in the first round so everyone can get in? I'll see what can be done to get as many people in as possible.

I've known about Void for a while, through Delya and a couple other artists I met on Deviantart. I had a character ready (Leland the Wandering Brosef), but I never finished submitting him properly, so when I heard about this invitational, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to do it.

I've still got the old character sheet, but I'm planning on drawing up a new one soon- I still have a few more days, right?

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb310/Otaku42/LelandSheetcopy.jpg)

He's not getting a whole load of changes, I'm just tweaking the proportions a bit now that I'm a little more comfortable drawing him. He's gonna look a little more like this (apologies for the blurry photo):

One thing that's killing me right now is inking. I'm used to doing it in Photoshop with my Wacom, but I've been away for two months and I'm madly out of practice. It frustrates me that I can't get my digital inks to look as good as my pencil/pen sketches. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting back into the swing of things or improving my inks?

Was going to submit after I got his sequentials done, but I'm shooting for like full color and like stuff and I don't really wanna stress myself, so I'll be submitting soon (like a few days) before the deadline and see if I can make it.

Anyway--I joined VOID a few years ago referred by my friend, but really didn't take my art that seriously and got my fair share of rejections. Nibbles linked me to the invitational since I had sorta gave up on the place/forgotten etc. Now that I'm older, better and more serious about my art, well, I thought this would be an awesome idea.

Alright! I posted in the incubator twice with this same character, but after some time, the topic died (twice) and I never actually finished his intro comic. But with the Void Invitational, I can bring R to Void. :D Here's the copypasta image from the last topic that died. Also updated bio.

Here's the ref sheet for him (link, cause I don't like stretching forums):
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/PoopX/Void/rref1thumb.png) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/PoopX/Rrefcolor.png)

R was a normal human (of normal name) who was raised in a "human utopia." His city was not racist or discriminatory to anything or anyone, as long as it was human. He grew up with the same mentality of all the citizens: furries, robots, and anything else inhuman that claimed to be civil and knowledgeable is wrong. He did, however, end up studying paleontology in the city's college. It was there where he suffered a radioactive change into the raptor/lizard creature he is now. After escaping his city during the same night, R spent his life wandering from city to city, getting kicked out and attacked just for being a-- uh, raptor-lizard-human-thing. This brings him to Void, where he hopes he can survive the onslaught of anthropomorphic hatred. Little does he know how bad Void really is.

R's powers and abilities are centered around his 3-fingered right hand, where the radioactivity mainly absorbed into his body. My pushing the palm of this hand to a person's cranium, he absorbs any DNA which grants the user special powers. This makes his arm transform into the opponent's arm and allows him to copy certain powers.

R has very little training for combat or self-defense. He does, however, have two large talons sticking out of his feet at all times.

Abura Oribu

(http://i31.tinypic.com/2m4wyhl.jpg)

Go Dobutsu-Kai was a typical classic action anime, about a man who saved the world with his power to shapeshift into any animal. His trusty sidekick was Abura Oribu, a girl with more-than-basic technological smarts, but quite obviously a token female character used to bring in female viewers. Her role on the show was basically to sit there and look pretty, and sometimes give moral support to the hero. After decades of being a subservient background character, she'd had enough. She split from the show and went out to prove to herself that she can be independent and bold and experiment with life. She wants to do everything she could never do before, and is trying her hardest to break free from her "character", although she sometimes reverts back to her naive cutesy anime persona. She'll curse, smoke, drink, and try anything in order to break free from what she used to be.

And here's his bio:

"In the far-off land of Bodacia, nestled amongst the Mountains of Excellence, there exists an order of monks that reside in the Temple of Raditude. They call themselves brosefs, and dedicate their lives to attaining enlightenment through the appreciation of the mundane and the badical alike. Leland is one such brosef, having lived most of his life among the other monks. Upon his 23rd birthday, the temple sends Leland out into the world to seek his personal nirvana- to complete his training, Leland must convert 108 wayward souls to the side of Righteousness. Seeking a place where such souls might gather, the young monk traverses the land, eventually reaching the majestic Void City. Now, Leland carries out his daily rituals of chillaxation and contemplation of existence, knowing that his opportunity will arrive sooner or later. Here's hoping that it comes sooner rather than later..."

-Calm, pleasant manner most of the time
-Habit words are "dude", "bro", and "excellent"
-Strong martial arts skills, like most stereotypical monks
-Extreme pacifist- will only use force under extreme conditions, if at all
-Favorite dish is mango rice

Munkei is a mimic thing from a place Neither Here Nor There, who came to void due to a chain of random consequences. getting to grips with his situation instantly, he wanders void in pure awe of the diverse cultures and colours around him.
a Mimic; he can imitate voices, sounds, vibrations, scents and understand languages from brief study and remembers everything hes learned. creating sounds, barks, notes, quakes, shrieks, rawrs, smells etc. even beyond human recognition as well as make his own........eww.
If he ever needs to get dirty he'll mostly plan a monstrous attack, thrashing, clawing, biting, crushing, its not nice. but fun comes first.

*********BIO TIME!!!!!!**********

Nameless

At some point early in Nameless' life, drug smugglers traveled to and departed from the planet Ilys. Along with its narcotic payload, the smugglers also returned with a stow away Replipod. He quickly ravaged the settlement, and thanks to a genetic mutation, also increased his intelligence into sentience. His hunger for flesh quickly turned into a curiosity for the knowledge he gained by consuming, killing more for learnings sake than for survival . Eventually, he left the settlement planet, and soon after violated numerous interstellar, intergalactic and interdimensional laws. Due to his sentience, he was taken to trial and sentenced to live an extended life in a synthesized dimensional prison. An infinite, empty, grey landscape. Several decades into his sentence, he became a hive for a small flock of Slips. With the aid of these slips,he was able to escape his prison and travel freely across interdimensional and subdimensional space to escape the Interdimensional Security Task Force. He eventually came across a star system outside of IDSTF jurisdiction due to the Primitive societies protection act. A place with a strange and diverse population, with a thousand things to learn and a thousand things to consume. A strange, violent, fascinating place called Void City..

-------------- Learning  Material ---------------------------------

Ilys and The Replipod

Even though the planet Ilys is uninhabitable due to its toxic atmosphere, it is heavily patrolled by the local star system authorities. Besides the indigenous Ilys tree which harbors a seed used in illegal narcotics, the planet is also home to the ravenous Replipod. It starts its life as a plant like bud, absorbing sunlight until it becomes large enough to form its body into its permanent state as a grub like organism no larger than 2 or 3 inches. At this stage, it begins hunting other life forms. Instead of using the mass and energy to be converted for life processes,it uses it to expand its body. It secrets a red,blood like fluid that quickly solidifies into a fleshy material akin to dolphin skin or calcifies it into a bone like substance for defense and hunting. It typically takes the form most practical to its needs.

Slips

Slips are small, simple creatures that travel in small flocks in and out of sub dimensional space. They have the unusual property of being infinitely thin,giving them the ability to slide easily outside of space itself. They have been known to attach themselves to individuals under rare circumstances,though it is considered illegal to posses them by the IDSTF as a very serious security risk.

Man on right with the googles is David Birch ,age 26 and Freelance Maintenance and Sanitation worker for the City of Void. An inventor and former college student he has recently come to work for his Uncle Murphy (on the left), Director of Void City Central Utilities, as a worker of special cases, ones that are too dangerous or to delicate to be handled by the regular payroll workers. A technological genius and gifted with an almost superhuman speed of hands and sharpness of perceptions, he is able to, among other things, rapidly measure objects for the use of constructing anything he can think of with whatever is available. This often leads to him creating amazingly insane mechanical inventions that would often look as they should not be able to do what they do let alone function.

His objectives while setting up shop:
First: Paying off his student loans.
Second: Fund his endeavors to create amazing machines to change the world for the betterment of all.
Third: Retire.

Even if that means fighting others for money or worse working for his crotchety Uncle Murphy.

I can get a much more detailed Bio ready but it is quiet late so I will have to write it tomorrow.

Aside from that is that acceptable so far?

ICON

Name: Sammy Bertchwood

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Height: 6.7"

Weight: 120 lbs

Weapon(s): Buck knife (though it's only for back up)

Special Ability(s): High jumps, super speed!

Bio: Meet Sammy! Born in a small little village and raised by two poor farmers until they were persuaded to sell their own son for several experiments. The scientist's goal was to make a young human being into a light and agile person and they were successful. Sammy was well schooled during his time at the labs and even volunteered to become one of the scientists after he 'graduated' but according to the rules, experiments were not allowed to become a scientist. Their only job option was to either become a body guard or a assassin. The young man didn't want any of that despite being neutral good and instead escaped from the labs when he had the chance. Also he was trained a bit to defend himself against others if necessary. Now during his times when he was experimented on, Bertchwood was quite a flirt with both the girls AND the guys. So now Sammy's goal is just simply to travel around the world and maybe even become a hire scientist himself.

Personality: As mentioned before in the biography, Sammy is attracted towards both males and females. He doesn't really take sides and can be quite a wimp at most times which is a good thing he can easily escape and jump at great heights. Though he's good neutral and loves to show off his 'beauty' and is quite a cuddler. Sammy isn't always a goody-two shoes, if it comes to the situation, the young man is able to defend himself and others. 

Eh heh...sorry if that's a bit too much. ^^; But hey! Least you know pretty much everything about this guy! 8D *passes out on the chair*

The Blackbird


United States Government official release on the individual/phenomenon known as the Blackbird.



Speculation as to his identity and origin coincide with an incident that occured on the science outpost Prometheus on Saturn's moon Enceladus over four years ago.


The mission of project Prometheus was to receive and decode a distant radio signal, originating from the Andromeda(M31) galaxy. The unique magnetic field created by Saturn's moon Enceladus allowed for an increase in transmission receiving and delivering power. At some point during the experiment communication from the outpost to com stations on Earth's moon ceased. A nearby satellite was used to try and re-establish communication with the outpost. The satellite was unable to reconstitute the lost signal, but photographed the compound, revealing heavy structural damage. This has been unanimously agreed to be what killed the crew.

The reasons behind the speculated ties between the Blackbird and the incident at Prometheus, are the uncanny similarities between Blackbird's technology, and the technology being tested on the outpost for theoretical experiments. Mainly those experiments having to do with gravity and magnetic fields. These experiments were only being tested at the moon base on Enceladus.

First Appearance was exactly four years after the incident on Enceladus. He has since been seen on three separate occasions. Two of which were in Void City.


Known Blackbird abilities as observed by the United States Military:

.Teleportation
.Flight
.Manipulation of gravity fields
.Feats of strength beyond normal human capacity
.Bending of light (active camouflage)


This concludes the official United States Government release on information regarding the phenomenon Blackbird.

Personality: Blackbird is very stoic, doesn't talk much but when he does you better listen. Highly intelligent, but not snobby. Has a dry since of humor. He is benevolent and would rather apprehend a threat instead of killing it.

Disclaimer one Blackbirds abilities:
He only uses the teleportation for interstellar travel and can only do it a couple of times before it drains his power, pretty much the same principle for all his powers. He is limited in how often he can do these things in one setting,its how he uses what he has that makes him interesting.

Third, Design Sheet:
(http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2010/204/a/1/Miss_Chups_by_atomictophat.jpg)

And Last Bio:
Miss Chups McGuffin.

Born: 1801 AD
Sex: Female
Height: 5' 4” (Not including funnel hat.)

Miss Chups McGuffin is a fairy of Steampunk and has power over clock work devices, primitive firearms, Victorian fashion and all things steam powered. She claims to be sent to Void City by the Queen of steam fairies, Queen Steamtoria, to guide the world back to era of steam. She does everything with a great passion and zeal, never losing either her stiff upper lip or her upper class accent, sometimes making up long words to sound more intelligent. Through in reality, she's little more than an arsonist and a thief, going about things in a rather blunt and somewhat dim manner.

Strengths: Miss Chups is a bizarre clock work wonder and with the power of her wand, Lord Puff, she's able to turn parts of herself into whatever she needs at the time, guns, cannons, steam powered helicopters, tea sets, anything that could fall under Steampunk genre. She can even turn other bits of technology into a steampunk version of itself.

Weakness: Other than all of her technology being out of date by at least 100 years, Miss Chups is bond to follow the steam fairy code. High in that list is that they must never harm an orphan. Miss Chups has been known to be moved to tears by learning her poor orphaned foe's fate. Another major rule is that she must always surrender if asked to do so in Queen Steamtoria's name, because, with all her faults, she loves her Queen. Other rules include 'never using modern technology' and 'never acting in a way befitting a lady.' Doing either of which gets a disapproving huff from Lord Puff, who may just strip her of her powers if her antics get too out of hand.

Boom. Done!

My character, blah blah blah

Your character looks like these characters.

Tanalius, I think you got good intentions here, but let's not get into a whole "Your character looks like so and so" bullshit conversation, OK? If you wanna get down to the nitty gritty, wait until the first battle this character is in is over, then you can tell them what you think (chances are the character here will be completely different than what you originally think he/she represents). Right now though, let's focus on getting more people in here!

Post by: Cherubas on Jul 23, 2010, 09:01 AM
Yeah, but Blackbird is the kind of person you suddenly find the sphere of Ung Tak'aliki, nexus of all magic in our dimension for. Or introduce to some rare South American flower that causes insanity when touched by someone with the right DNA. Or something fun like that. If we were just battling by stats there would be character creation rules and other such things, but we're allowed to twist circumstance in our favor. Half of these may not even be battles really, just crossovers. Blackbird's abilities give him less of an upper hand when he's 10 people behind you in line for Bieber tickets.

Yeah i read that one! Genius, i loved it to bits. My favorite comic of the pig ^^ But to get to your point, i wasn't worried about him being to hard to beat i just find the character a bit overpowered in general. People tend to identify a lot more with characters that have flaws then with characters that are invincible in every way. A lot of story possibilities seem to disappear that way but i guess it opens up new ones as well.

I agree with all the above statements, I personally look forward to seeing what people come up with against BlackBird. The use of powers like those, as well as tactics against them are bound to make for an interesting fight.

Also, greetings to Atomic Top Hat, glad i could persuade you to join in the tourney, Johnny mah boy!

The list of characters is still expanding it seems, and i'm really glad to see it. This thing is going to be epic!

I think I'm just going to watch Tab dance until the deadline ends. It's as mesmerizing as Jho's bird.

I have a question though. I know there was some talk that we won't be given opponents until Monday, but will we be told early whether or not our characters made the cut? I'd rather not spend my weekend in suspense if you guys deem me unworthy tonight. That's just cruel. XD

WHAT?!? I like that song. I've always kind of liked Madonna. As a kid I watched "Who's That Girl" like 1000 times and to be honest I can't remember any of the plot now, but that's the first time I've ever seen that video and... I don't know what to say. Not... What I would have done with the video. But hey, I have much smaller boobs and have to shave my face every other day, so what works for me might not for her.

My faith is renewed though, thank you for that, Pi.

Everyone's getting in, so long as they've submitted through the main site and met the minimum requirements.

We'll just have to do some creative bracketing to make it work.

Honestly, don't even worry about the number, we'll figure it out.  Just keep spreading the word far and wide, getting more people to join.

Yeah i read that one! Genius, i loved it to bits. My favorite comic of the pig ^^ But to get to your point, i wasn't worried about him being to hard to beat i just find the character a bit overpowered in general. People tend to identify a lot more with characters that have flaws then with characters that are invincible in every way. A lot of story possibilities seem to disappear that way but i guess it opens up new ones as well.


His abilities were what was observed by the military, so they weren't aware of his limitations. I should have specified on how they work. He only uses the teleportation for interstellar travel and can only do it a couple of times before it drains his power, pretty much the same principle for all his powers. He is limited in how often he can do these things in one setting,its how he uses what he has that makes him interesting. I should have been a bit more clear about that. I had no intention of creating a character that was overpowered ;D

Ah now that makes more sense XD. You should include this in your ref sheet cause if i were to fight him, and you would not have said that, then I'd make him teleport all over the place and rip the city apart with his gravity powers. 8DDD

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151/5AMstranger/Niderassheet.png)


Nideras Vi'Orizien "The Fleshcarver"

Initially a shy, introverted youth... Until the world ended.  Nowdays, he finds himself wandering in search of interesting test subjects for his mad science.  His favorite activities include long strolls along the beach, fine dining, and cutting people open to figure out what makes them tick.

Personality: Typically a trollish jerk; he can be nice when he wants to be, or it can profit him in some way. Your best bet is to be disgustingly small and adorable.

Combat: He's not much for face to face fighting, and would much rather be sneaky and shank his opponent from behind, or otherwise ambush them. Unless he's at the advantage, he tends to be a rather evasive coward. The closest things he has to weapons are a few surgical tools (lol), and several of the chemicals he keeps at his hip.

Misc: This rat-bastard has a near crippling fear of squishy slimy worms. Things like giant earthworms, and larvae have him reduced to a screeching little girl. Also, rather weak to "cute" things like animals and small children.

His dayjob has him carving markings into people, and imbuing them with special properties. This has a habit of ending up being some form of ironic justice, trolling, or just plain unintentionally exploding in his client's face. If he offers his services, your best bet is to run FAST and never look back.

Bio: Marie was raised by her mother's best friend, after her mother 'disappeared'. She's spent the last sixteen years moving around from city to city. Her 'father' has tried to keep her sheltered from the reality of what she is. For the most part she's pretty innocent to the dangers of the world she inhabits.
Marie is timid, for the most part, and easily frightened, though she's actually quite curious, once she's settled down.

Abilities: Shape shifting-Marie can turn into whatever animal she wants, though they will always appear white with pale blue eyes.  She's clumsy, no matter what shape she's in, and often finds herself injured because of it. She's been known to cry over a skinned knee.

Name: Ivan Reinhardt

Age: 9

Occupation: Acrobat, Juggler (Diabolo), All-round circus performer

Place of Residence: Reinhardt's Circus Extraordinare (Once a traveling circus)

Ivan is one of the youngest star performers in the circus troupe run by his family.  He has been performing since he was a small tot, pretty much learning to do flips before he can even walk.  Being an all-rounder, he can perform various agility and acrobatic acts, but his forte is in juggling Diabolo act.

His family has moved to Void and have decided to settle and become a permanent entertainment attraction in the city of Void.  Being a naturally curious child, he's keen on exploring everything about his new environment.  He'll often skip out on practice and school to play around and inadvertently cause mischief which usually lands him in a lot of trouble.

Ivan isn't completely defenseless however, he can use his small size and acrobatic ability to get himself out of harms way and if need be, he can use his Diabolos to inflict damage even if they are usually used for performance purposes.

Steel Diabolo - specially designed for fire/pyro acts
Red Diabolo - varies in weight, typical diabolo used
Blue Diabolo - lightest of the 3 used for longer air time

If Diabolo's aren't readily available he can use anything the resembles a spool.  He can juggle a max of 5-6 at a time and working on getting more, but his usual is 3.  Rods used to juggle are made of a light weight steel with a thin flexible wire.

(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz254/jethro-tullzy/void%20things/turtle.jpg)

I have junk art: http://jethro-tullzy.deviantart.com/
I tried to make an intro comic to go with this entry to challenge myself. I've posted it on my deviantart, also because of the lack of comic stuff I have on there.
ANYHOW:

character: "Turtle"
age: 12

The boy known to his classmates as Turtle (due to his uncorrectable slouch and uninterested attitude) grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere, USA, until his entire town was invaded, sedated, and abducted by a group of drunk, intergallactic frat aliens. Thanks to his trial ADD meds, which cancelled out the affect of the sedatives, Turtle singlehandedly rescued the town and expelled the collegiate aliens in his panicked frenzy.
Turtle was then seen as neurotic to family and friends, describing a mass abduction of the town and alien puke in vivid detail, which no one else could remember. He his family moved to Void City for a change of pace from stagnant suburban life. The "excitement" of the city only made Turtle more wary of the people around him, going out only when forced by his mother to "make some friends in the neighborhood!". He now suspects a large part of the population are alien and out to get him.

Turtle dislikes speaking, adding a smart-assed comment only when appropriate. He refuses to cut the bangs in front of his eyes. After his first run ins with nonhuman creatures in Void City, he always wears a tinfoiled helmet to protect him from alien mind control (the movies and books said so). He also has a metal baseball bat, which he keeps at his side at all times. He believes a majority of what he sees in sci-fi horror movies.

personality
Turtle is nervous around strangers, although when at ease, becomes lethargic, and gets easily sidetracked. His first reaction in a dangerous situation is to panic and run, but when pushed into a corner, will utilize his surroundings and resourcefulness to get himself out. HATES aliens.


Now to upload to the main site!

BIO

name: Eve
age: 3 (11 flash-cloned)
height: 4'
species: augmented human





story:

Eve found herself at the edge of Void inside an escape pod. She hasn't the slightest clue what happened or where she is.
What she does know is that someone must have seen the event that caused her premature departure from District 4's flying prototype lab.

attributes:

The most striking feature of Eve is her antennae and wings. Both are made up of nanites that flow in her blood, with the former being able to be dissolved back into her blood stream until they are needed again.

The second peculiarity one might notice is her complete lack of human language. At best, her previous contact with people was indirect, and she will try to communicate in machine code visual and aural. Eventually, she will learn the language but still refuses to speak.

Her nanites run on a weak form of magic with just enough programming and power to control magic that propels each nanite. They giver her flight, regeneration, and augmented senses and strength.

========
The basics:

flight
regeneration
super speed
antennae can detect the entire electromagnetic spectrum
dynamic armor reconfiguration (her clothing is made of nanites)
keep away from fire

Age: 26
Powers: None
Weapons: Void City

Born and raised in Void city.  His arms were ripped off when he was 10 after a fight between a man with super strength and another with a magic sword broke out three blocks from his elementary school.  He has learned how to better defend himself since then.  He knows the city like the back of his non existent hand.

(http://i979.photobucket.com/albums/ae277/MisterOrion/DavidBirchCharacterSheet.jpg)

Full name: David Harvey Birch
Nickname: Birch
Age: 26
Height: 6'
Weight: 160 lbs.


Backstory:

As a Freelance Sanitation and Maintenance Worker, David is in the employ of his Uncle Murphy, Director of Void City's Municipal Utilities, as a man of many talents to repair and maintain areas of the city too dangerous for regular workers to get to. Being several years out of graduate school from his Alma mater Void City A&M, David has come across the one obstacle that could very well ruin his plans to create technology to better the condition of man: Unpaid College Loans. Needing money to pay the loans and then subsequently fund his own experiments, David has taken work from his Uncle in hopes that his abilities will at least be put to good use until he can pay off his debts and get back on track to his goal as well as uncover the many mysteries that lie below the streets of Void City, just waiting to be explored.

Personality:
David generally a rather kind and well meaning person wishing that his work will one day be used for the betterment of mankind but in the mean time he has a very slippery grasp on a lot of social interactions and generally is quite introverted in his want to talk with people. This, combined with his thought processes not matching with most people’s trains of thought he will often go off on tangents that don’t seem to be logical to anyone but him. But when pressed into dangerous and serious situations, David will drop any thought process and focus on the task at hand speaking very directly and with authority, especially if his skills are needed.


Weapons/Abilities:
David has fast hands and an even fast mental faculties and perceptions. Combined with a natural affinity towards constructing mechanical and electronic devices. Depending on where he is and what is available he can create devices of the most whimsical and ungainly sort. Complimenting his speed of hands is a pocket knife-like glove containing a radial swivel for easy access to his arsenal of detachable tools. Everything from screwdrivers to metal sheers to wrenches are inside made of light weight alloys that are easy to carry while still having a heft and toughness to them. In general he keeps himself healthy and strong physique, though far from superhuman he can at least handle opponents of the garden variety punk of thug and fast enough to out run whatever might be chasing him.

Finished and Ready! I am having trouble submitting via the site. it says I can't submit without the intro pages even though the idea is we are exempt from that rule here. Any help would be great.

If I may be so bold... What is the randomizing process you use for matching us up with our opponents? Do you draw out of a hat or roll a d100 or set four level 9 Yoshis against each other on final destination and see which costume gets the most KOs or how does it work?

I will demolish you at Brawl. DEMOLISH.

Anyway, I think we either use the Deru Technique, secret for generations, where we pull names out of a hat... either that, or toast has a randomizer.

Ever since I became a mod the process usually involves all the mods and think tanks going to one big house. We then get a bunch of kittens, the number of how many are in the tournament. We then tie a little note to each kitten's collar with the name of a participant on it. We then throw tuna all over the place. The kittens will inevitably wanna wrestle each other for the tuna. When we see a kitten 1 v 1 we go and inspect them and see what name was on each kitten's collar and write them down. The kittens that wrestled get removed from the room.

Pretty much like that, it's pretty complicated.

Bio:
Name (full): Stuart McHaggis
Nicknames: Stumpy
Age: 45
Height: 3ft 6in
Weight: 90lbs
Nationality: Half Irish, Half Scottish
Occupation: Formerly a Janitor at CERN, now a traveling unwilling superhero.

Design sheet:
(http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab315/Digitaldragon88/StumpyMchaggisdesignsheetdone.jpg)


History:
           While cleaning around the Large Hadron Collider, Stuart the Janitor, secretly a genius, activated the accelerator but clumsily broke through and fell into the machine, the particle collisions created a time-space anomaly that ripped his limbs from this universe leaving small dimensional doorways in his stumps. He quickly learned he could summon anything in his imagination from parallel realities from his stumps. With the exception being human limbs. His original limbs became attached to a sentient Dimensional Gateway named Ether. Ether encased himself in an armor suit so he can remain stable in physical worlds with his newly attached human arms, which he refuses to give up.  Stumpy and Ether constantly clash in nearly lethal conflicts across realities, all over a set of limbs.


Personality:
              Stumpy is a mean and grumpy alcoholic who is quick to anger. He doesn't take rudeness directed at him kindly. He is never hesitant to summon a cannonball to any one's groin. Despite his curmudgeon-like demeanor, Stumpy occasionally feels compelled to commit selfless acts of heroism, possibly driven by Catholic guilt.

Oh I've heard that line before, my friend. That and "Who plays Ness?" and "Lucas is better" and "Meta Knight is in a higher tier than Ness, I've already won" and all that other crap. Then I open their eyes to the TRUTH!!! After the match though it's "I didn't know Ness could fight like that" and "How did you win with Ness?" and "..." (from the ones now motionless on the floor because my skills have blown their brains out of the back of their heads with awesomeness.

Don't you start either argument in here. Who gives a shit if it's a real fighting game or not.

Also, I've been hearing good things about Blazblue. My only problem with it is most of the characters look kinda boring to me. Same as Tekken, Street Fighter (Minus Zangief and the cast of SF3 of course), and King of Fighters.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Base on Jul 24, 2010, 08:04 PM
I was joking. Joking! I actually don't mind smash at all, but the community for it confuses me sometimes.

I PLAY Blazblue, but only because everyone left Guilty Gear for it. And even then, I still play GG more. BB is an alright game, but it's still not as solid as Guilty Gear, plus the character designs are really lacking (save for Hazama, I like him).

But yes. I play Guilty Gear. Zappa, actually. So if you've ever been to a GG tournament and saw a Zappa player it was probably me.

Back on topic: How many characters DO we have now?

Mostly, I just don't understand removing half of the game just to make it 'competitive.' A lot of people get all high and mighty about smash, but if you have to alter it at all, how is anyone else supposed to take it seriously?

Also, holy cow. You guys better record those 41 kittens fighting over tuna. I want to see it.

Lots of tournament games alter the rules. They ban characters and allow pick and counter picks.

It's honestly a style of play. Also, I don't understand why people get all high and mighty AGAINST Smash. Is it backlash? I have no idea. Why should people care what other people are doing if it doesn't effect them?

Anyway, back to tournament discussion. We have a video game thread in the general discussion board.

If you don't like the game it's whatever but I don't see the logic in trash talking people who do as if we've done something wrong by liking it.  :P

So what is a good way to approach your opponent in order to collaborate? I know it is a competition but can we work if we say wanted to make a 2 halved story or to ask questions about their respective characters so they will get certain details right.

I was just wondering as we are going to get to know each other over the next few weeks trying to write and fight. In general what are the rules on talking to someone on Void?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Jul 24, 2010, 09:06 PM
Well I personally wouldn't do a collab for a 1 weeker unless you can easily get ahold of your opponent. You're allowed to talk to your opponent as much as you want.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Cherubas on Jul 24, 2010, 09:08 PM
Then why... Nevermind, no more off topic.

I was thinking of just PMing someone Orion. I think a story that starts in one person's art style and ends in another would be really cool, as long as the plot doesn't dramatically change from one to another. But Angie is right, I was planning on waiting until I had been eliminated so we could organize something over two weeks or so.

I really hope those two work everything out. I started fanart of the circus boy. :(
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Hiemie on Jul 24, 2010, 09:10 PM
Also, keep in mind that not everyone is gonna collab with you.

Also... personally, I think you should do your own thing instead of collabing. It's neat every once and a while, but I like to see 2 different sides.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Orion on Jul 24, 2010, 09:13 PM

I've been trying to submit my character for the Invitational at the main Entervoid site. My icon is 50x50 pixels, all of my images are Jpegs, I filled out all the fields, hit agree then submit and every time I get this message:

"ERROR - There was a problem saving your entry into the database. Click here to report the error, and we'll get back to you as soon as the problem has been resolved."

I've tried this on Firefox, IE, and Chrome with the same results. It is 12 minutes into July 25th in my time zone and were it not for this error my character would have already been submitted at the main Void. I already submitted the character here on the invitational forum, so I'm just one step away from completion. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Jul 24, 2010, 09:14 PM
Well collabs have been done tons of times in the past by other people, for ideas on how to do them look at other artists. Armageddon was a 6 person collab on the defenders' side, a large chunk of my battles have been collabs, Fowlie's done a few, I think Drawdan did some that spawned across several comics he did at the same time, etc. Tourneys are generally not the best time to do them though because it can be kind of a lot of preliminary effort when you should really be hitting the ground running.

A lot of you guys should really just read through current and past battles tomorrow while you have a free day to just see how other artists have tackled stuff on the site, see how things are done, etc.

Having the same problems, followed all the steps.  But strangely mine is having a different reaction.  It doesn't give me an error warning.  Instead it treats it as if I'd never hit the submit button at all and sends me back to the Create a Character page with an empty form.  In any case, I've already e-mailed Toast, told Pi about the problem yesterday so all I can really do is wait. :/

Still trying to submit and stuff right now too.

No one's saying you can't do anything, you don't have to listen to anyone. Part of void is doing whatever you want.
A lot of us just generally speak from experience so we're giving you our point of view. Don't get hung up on rules and stuff.

Pretty much the only rules you have to follow for any battles are 1.Turn in on time, if you don't then I take your soul away and you don't get it back. 2.Your character and your opponent's character must appear in your comic. That's about it, obviously the rules get only a smidgen more complicated if you're doing a death match or scar match but you guys don't need to worry about it right now.

We're here to have fun and make some awesome comics guys, do whatever you want.

Six and the Hat

Real name Matthew Middletown

Basically this kid get's haunted by a talking hat and he leaves home on a quest to get the hat off his head.  Six is just a little punk skateboarder.  He's very self-centered and focused.  He has just one goal and that is to get the hat off his head because it annoys him.  The Hat is pretty much a gangster.  He tells Six that the only way to get himself off Six's head is to find the holy grill.

If my math is to be trusted, there's 47 new characters about to get thrown together to kick start this thing.

Thank you Kevin, your hard work is greatly appreciated.  : )

Now I can rest easy and finish off the other stuff I need to take care of.

I was joking. Joking! I actually don't mind smash at all, but the community for it confuses me sometimes.

I PLAY Blazblue, but only because everyone left Guilty Gear for it. And even then, I still play GG more. BB is an alright game, but it's still not as solid as Guilty Gear, plus the character designs are really lacking (save for Hazama, I like him).

But yes. I play Guilty Gear. Zappa, actually. So if you've ever been to a GG tournament and saw a Zappa player it was probably me.

Back on topic: How many characters DO we have now?
8U Is this even POSSIBLE?! Another Guilty Gear player?! :'D You sir...have made my day. c: Ooooh why Zappa? xDD Ok...I admit that he's VERY flexible but still kiiiinda creepy. >>; As for me...either Slayer or Anji. x> YES! Back to the topic!
Oh man Oh man! 8D Sorry I havn't really had the chance to say much on here. ^^; So many different types of OC's I've seen on here! 8U I must say I'm quite excited and good thing I got mine 2 days before the dead line. xD; Randomizing everyone and the whole 1 vs 1 deal is alright with me in fact I vote for it. x> I kinda rather not choose my opponent, no offense or anything. lD; But 'ey!

I was a gear player too till I moved to NJ..... where nobody wants to do anything ever. Played a pretty mean Dizzy in FL. Might add that I whomped Base's ass regularly :p

On Topic: I wonder how the brackets will turn out. There's more than a few here I'm interested in pitting my craven troll...err I mean beloved character against. Lots of funny possibilities.

there are no set rules on the subject but you do have to play it by feel so that it would:

a. entertain the reader
b. not come off disrespectfully to your opponnent.

World edits and canon rewrites have been done time and time again there are really clever ways and there are REALLY BAD ones.
Just make sure yours don't come off as petty or cheap.

He doesn't even have to be 'real' to your character as long as he is there in some form and still a character.  For example, he might be a delusion your character sees after a drunken bender, things like that.  I try to do the same, when I see a character who does not quite fit into my way of thinking I start to think "How can I bend this guy so he fits into my story?"

Any idea is a bad idea towards another idea, and has it's benefits as well as it's downfalls. Kinda works like Communism and Democracy.

Yer fine.

While, yes, it is rude to be making predictions about future matches, it's also human nature, conditioned through years of pro sports brackets (March Madness, any playoffs, the World Cup, etc.), and inevitable.

Wei's saying, in his own cuddly way, we want to see clean fights, no biased voting (for friends, or against enemies), and it's hurtful to others to be predicting outcomes when those artists view these boards and see predictions of their defeat.

Brackets themselves are fine, it's the baggage that comes along with it that sucks.

Actually, Wei, I agree with you. Honestly, I think we should start randomizing random rounds so this doesn't happen. Later ones though. Early ones might be a hassle, but when we get fewer people, it wouldn't be so bad.

And Sofa, it's probably because Crimson missed you when making it. Probably because his signature on the forums is massive.

Wow, that's weird, it looks like 49 people got approved, not 48. Man, I'm sorry Sofa. I'm sure Toast can do something. Maybe he can stick you in a fight in either this round or the next round. I hope something can be done...

In all seriousness, I'm excited for this round- I'm doing some research for my environments and am almost done thumbnailing. If I get some time today, I might make a teaser poster, just because it's the cool thing to do.

EDIT: Adding sketches of my opponent's character, Kavansky.

There are so many ways to to go but I keep running into the idea that my character may not actually fight him or fight in the context of a tournament...

Still I like my match up. Both our characters are known for speaking very little in casual conversation... lots of awkward silence.

Post by: CrimsonViper38 on Jul 26, 2010, 05:28 PM
Actually, Wei, I agree with you. Honestly, I think we should start randomizing random rounds so this doesn't happen. Later ones though. Early ones might be a hassle, but when we get fewer people, it wouldn't be so bad.

And Sofa, it's probably because Crimson missed you when making it. Probably because his signature on the forums is massive.

Unless there was a battle posted out of order I don't think I missed it. I made the match-ups just scrolling down the upcoming battles page, not injecting my own order or anything. I actually have the match-ups separated to individual layers in the .psd because I figured the rounds were already random. That way I would just rearrange the brackets as they're announced.

Honestly didn't mean to start causing problems.

As for my form sig, I'm totally compensating.

Good luck everyone.

THIS. Don't get carried away and burn yourselves out, guys! Doing 20 pages in one week, even if you manage to pull it off, is pretty draining. I'd rather see you guys do three solid pages every round than 15 awesome ones this week and default the next. Definitely do your best work, but remember that you've got a few rounds to work past this one too.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Cherubas on Jul 26, 2010, 08:00 PM
Some of us do. I have to admit, I do feel a drive to make this comic in particular of good quality. Boek doesn't have some of the cool "hooks" that a lot of the other characters do, so I'm a little worried about finding opponents to play with after I get eliminated from the tourney. That being said, I dunno how long it'll take me to make a page so I'm aiming for about 6 pages right now. Just want to be sure whatever I make is finished.

You don't need hooks or gimmicks to find opponents. As long as you write him well as an interesting character, you will always have people interested in throwing down with you. And if he's not an interesting character, well, that begs the question of why you're using him in the first place.

So I may need to do some creative editing to get it to six pages. Right now I'm working on a cover page though so I can be one of the cool kids.

It took me all day to ink my first page, but I'm super-pleased with how it turned out. I missed working with traditional ink and pencil- this feels so right. Now all I gotta do is find an easy way to scan it and then I can color it- but that might be getting a bit too fancy...

I've thumbnailed about 5 pages, which was the minimum I could fit the script I wanted into. Had to get creative with the panelling but I think it'll turn out pretty nice. Got about 90% of page 1 done, but it's the one with the most panels/content, so hopefully the rest will be a little bit easier for me to churn out. After I complete my pages, I'll try to pull together a hype page too, but who knows! Really depends on how much time I have.

Super excited for all this. My only hope is that no one defaults in round 1, that would be spectacular.

Actually, the only situation that would merit an open space for him would be one fight with a double default. Otherwise, a default on one side of a fight and not the other would simply result in a win for the guy who turned in.

You're probably gonna have to insert him into a fight in round 2 and make it a 3-way.

That's really the biggest hurdle of this event.  I'm trying to keep things as simple and quick as possible, but I still want pacing and structure.  Not that you can't do that in 3 pages, but that's beyond my ability at this point.  I could do a 3 page LOLRANDOM quickie, but for me that would not be a quality comic.

bleh, started my comic with 12 pages in mind. luckily today i ended up not having fun with the story so now i have it shorter and a better flow.
 Just don't expect witty dialog. There's no wit here! B:

Script is done, 2/5 pages are inked and ready to be scanned. Slept in 'til 1:30 today because I stayed up too late inking, hopefully gonna be back on track soon. Kinda frustrated by my lack of foundations skills, but so far I'm pleased with my stylistic efforts and panel placement. Hopefully the comic will be worth more than the sum of its parts- I'm not aiming for action this time around, but hopefully it'll still be interesting.

I'm sort of using this as an opportunity to work on stuff I need help on, like storytelling, coloring, inking, digital media...everything.
Almost done with lines, but there's some stuff I'd like to rework. Still working on the final page, and I'm hoping to have enough time to try and color this

 This looks like this tourney is gonna be some good stuff...I have to say though that I cant bring myself to root for the character named Dreadnought, which is what Dreds name is based off of,
dread·nought   /ˈdrɛdˌnɔt/  Show Spelled[dred-nawt]  
–noun
1. a type of battleship armed with heavy-caliber guns in turrets: so called from the British battleship Dreadnought,  launched in 1906, the first of its type.
Obviously for his ablility to create weapons out of his arms.

Sorry..there can be only one Dreds in this town..

Quality over quantity, huh? I'm going the other way. I'm making 102 pages that if you click the "next" button really fast, it looks like a stick figure riding a horsey. It's a can't-fail plan because it works against all of my opponents no matter what their shtick is!

I finished my first script and didn't like how it made Boek look so I pitched that one. I finished a second one that I liked and was just about to start on and then I reread my opponents character description thing and realized I probably wasn't representing him the way Le Fred intended, so I rewrote all of his lines to make them "polite and honest" (which meant scrapping the entire last 1/4th of the comic and coming up with a new ending). So I feel your pain there, Enef.

2 pages full coloured now out of 8 for me. I'll crank another one out before this day is up but for now I need to take a break cause its like 10000 degrees in my room. That will leave me with 5 left, and if I do two tomorrow and three on Saturday that leaves me with Sunday to go into the school and take care of some homewerkz.

If you click on where it says "Add Boek to Hitlist" something really COOL happens!

All information for thumbnails at

must be followed to a T or they won't work in the system. That includes the right naming format, must be all lowercase or the system doesn't accept them. Who to email them to is in the topic. Thumbnails not following the right file name or file format will not be used.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Darius Corry on Jul 30, 2010, 09:12 PM
I don't know if it's been said already but
PLEASE AVOID WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO UPLOAD. TECHNICAL ISSUES CAN ARISE THAT MAY PREVENT YOU FROM UPLOADING BEFORE THE DEADLINE (especially with the caliber of pages coming in at the same deadline).
I would advise you upload no later than an hour before its due date..and that's even pushing it.
If you have issues uploading, email them to angieness and/or Toast (before the deadline of course).
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: fowlie on Jul 31, 2010, 06:58 AM
Also, Kid's, don't forget to post on your battle that you have uploaded when you do.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Jul 31, 2010, 08:09 AM
All of the above! Waiting until the last minute can be very very bad especially if I'm not awake around the deadline to help you if a technical problem should arise http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=11345.0 has how to upload and what to do if it fails. And definitely post in the battle comments when you have uploaded or if you had any problems uploading

I know a week deadline is short, but you're really not going to get that much work done in the last few hours before the deadline (really needing those last 1-2 hours is really poor planning). It's best to finish up and upload as early as you can instead of squeaking by at the last minute and potentially defaulting because you waited until late at night to upload and no one is awake to help you out.

And because it happens a lot, never ever wait until the last hour to actually scan and letter your stuff. That usually results in people making mistakes

It might not be a battle per se (though that would be fun, Beast Boy had some pretty good moves when he really put his mind to it and I imagine this would be similar) cause they both seem to be friendly, but I'm pretty sure it would be a fun interaction. A cool power like that would easily impress Boek.

i think if you just let it go, it will either self-cancel when nothing gets uploaded, or angieweikevin can delete after this first round madness is over.

in any case, i wouldn't worry too much about it. focus on getting your comics done and uploading it sometime today before the rush of traffic tonight overwhelms the servers and strands you with comic pages on your computer and nowhere near the void website causing you to go into panic attacks about the possibility of defiling your clean and as of yet untouched record with a slimy default and earning the scorn and derision of your fellow tournament competitors, forcing you to get thee to a nunnery.

EVERYONE pleaaaaaaaaaase double check your uploads after you upload to make sure they uploaded okay! You can double check by going to the same place where you upload your comic, you should see your files there if they're in there right. Also make sure you look through your comic to ensure that every page works. I've already caught a few broken uploads and have let the people know. You don't want to end up with a default when you thought your pages uploaded If you haven't received a message from me about your upload from the current batch of people that have uploaded, then your comic is fine.

Pages uploaded, not sure if they went through because it gave me the same page afterward saying no images uploaded. Sent the thumbnails to the two emails requested on the tutorial. Angie and Wei I believe.

Uploaded. The backgrounds are made of suck because life dealt me a bad card. I hope people still like it.

Your files don't seem to be there! Please reupload asap!
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Aug 01, 2010, 04:56 PM
Everyone watch your file sizes! So far everyone who's had an upload break it was due to each of their pages being around 1MB a piece. Ideally no one's pages should be over 250-300KB a piece. I do full color comics on Void and my pages never exceed 300KB in size without sacrificing quality. So watch those file sizes if you want your comics to upload properly!

Mine only involved attacks by baseball bat. That was about as far as I could get.

And yeah, Jethro I can't wait to see yours too, though I feel a little silly even showing what I have now... :( I wanted something of higher quality but what I got is what I got at the moment... At least I won't default... I hope.

I am guilty of a single strike.

Orion -> cross your fingers for no default! I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got so far. And if you're not satisfied with this one, we could always rematch! I was afraid I wasn't going to finish in time, so I feel like I skimped out on some of the panels :c .

My first script didn't. Admittedly, this was part of why I scrapped it. I figured in case I got eliminated in the first round I wanted my future opponents to have an idea of how Boek handles himself in combat. That was really my main reason for the rewrite. XD

To reiterate my comments on my match page.


Due to a fucked up work schedule and a fucked up schedule saturday/sunday night (Thats mostly my bad for re-starting mid week) and on top of that retard opponents in my comp. TF2 league refusing to schedule dates so the league giving us a default date all for yesterday.

(on the plus side, we won our division:
1.nervousENERGY BLU     8     6     0     2         18     +4
2. 8U Gaming    8    5    1    2       17    +6
3. still breathing    6    2    1    3       7    -4
4. Iguana    4    2    0    2       6    -2
5. Genesis   6    0    0    6       0    -6
6. Team Offline [Dropped]    0    0    0    0       -1    
7. Angel of Heart [Dropped]    0    0    0    0       -1    
8. Chocolate Helicopter [Dropped]    0    0    0    0       -1
)


EXCUSES EXCUSES.
I fucked up, my bad.

If i go through i will do my utmost to dedicate all my time EARLY in the week to getting shit done.

If not i won't be taking one weekers on for a while.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: DeathlySilent on Aug 02, 2010, 06:07 AM
I'm a little confused I don't see our comic up... have they not all been posted yet?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Wei Ingnan on Aug 02, 2010, 07:01 AM
no not all of the comics are up yet....only comics with both sides uploaded were posted after the deadline for some reason....and then Angie prolly went to sleep....I had already helped as much as I could with what little had been posted before I had long since gone to bed before waking up and coming to work

deadline is the deadline for submissions not neccesarily when they will be posted.....comics are posted as fast as we can given our RL responsibilities

Because I'm getting PM'd very frequently and seeing it in battle comments a lot more often, I figured I'd post this friendly reminder.

Remember that Wei and I are human and have work/college/sleep, we're not always awake to put battles up. Seeing "omg why isn't this up yet?!" when I wake up in the morning in my inbox or battle comments makes me sad. So yeah, please don't do it. The battle posting process is not automated and a person has to be at the computer to put it up, so asking when it's going to go up will not make the process go any faster.

If there is ever a problem with a side causing a delay, I will always post in the battle comments if something is going on.

So yeah, I understand it's exciting for your battles to go up, I still get excited when I put my own up. But just chill, read a book, write a poem, take a walk down a trail in the forest, etc. and your battle will come when the morning sun rises and Wei and Angie reemerge from their Volcano that's located at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to face another day. Be patient, we will love you for it.

everything we have will be up in another 7 hours if not sooner......some of us live in very different time zones including people who help run the site

Post by: DeathlySilent on Aug 02, 2010, 07:04 AM

Instead of saying it in everyone's battle. Don't worry about making excuses or telling us what went wrong guys. You had a week to draw, it's tough and shit happens, don't worry about it and just do better next time. This was probably very new and a wake up call to a lot of people so don't worry about telling us your computer exploded or you got shot or you had to fight crime, we get it, it's cool so no worries.

Post by: Angie on Aug 02, 2010, 01:44 PM
I've said it many times but I'll say it again, always double check your uploads after uploading. If the files are wrong or too big or didn't upload at all it's always your responsibility to ensure that everything got in there correctly and is correct. One of the defaults resulted from the artist not double checking their upload and a few people had to have files fixed.

This is why I post all these warnings, everyone can avoid a lot of trouble later by just double checking their uploads and using the information I've provided to help make things easier.

Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Aug 02, 2010, 02:14 PM
There is normally some form of a bracket. Unless Toast wants to do something differently you can pretty much tell who you will be battling next by looking down. It might not be totally accurate because the next round will have at least 1 three way to get Niles in
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Kuro on Aug 02, 2010, 02:23 PM
Guys, it's not rocket science.

You're submitting for web viewing, not print. Save the huge files for your portfolio. Keep it easy to see/quick to load when it comes to posting here. I thought that would've been a no-brainer...


I am glad defaults were relatively low considering, but I haven't looked at any of the actual battles yet.

You never know. There's still several days left to vote and the ones on top may be on bottom tomorrow. Look at the Auvre and Ridley match, it's very back and forth. Stay positive! Even if you do lose, at least now you've got a character and some work to show off. You'll get more opportunities to play with the other boys and girls.  :D

If I wasn't going away from Thurs-Sunday I'd say lets fit one in before round 2 but if I did that I'd have a day to draw lawl.  but maybe in the off time between round 2 and 3 (and if I lose that will make it easier to find time haha) I'll fit in a one weeker against you maybe :P
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!

Unbless there's like an 80-20 lead on you or something, nobody's lost yet and there's sill 6 days of voting left D:
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Charlie on Aug 03, 2010, 05:50 PM
Yeah, it can still swing either way, but I've got a pretty comfortable lead right now (not to sound like a dick) and Robo wished me good luck with the rest of the tourney so I didn't think it would be too wrong of me perhaps to say what I did haha. At the same time it is slightly pretentious, so sorry about that if it offended you. But in a hypothetical situation, If I make it to round 2 I would have liked to fit a fight with Monday in but I can't anyway, so if I do make it to round 2 I'll gladly fight after if my schedule permits.

Ack, this probably sounds worse than it does in my head, but whatever, I'm at school at the moment heh.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Aug 03, 2010, 05:53 PM
Well essentially by the second day of voting you can usually tell who's going to win a battle just because most people tend to vote on those two days. It's mostly the 1st, 2nd, and last days you'll ever really see much difference. The last day because people tend to trickle in that are like oh shit I haven't voted yet better do that! From the 3rd-6th day there usually isn't much action. Unless it's really extremely close like 50.1 to 49.9 gaps normally don't close that much. (not without shady dealins going on and yes, we watch for that don't worry)

There's of course always been exceptions and this tourney could be the exception since there's a fuckton of comics to vote on and people are probably slowly making their way through them.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Enaxon on Aug 03, 2010, 05:56 PM
I wasn't offended xD I was just being the voice of rationality so you don't end up challenging Monday the eve of your voctory/loss and then have 2 comics on your hands haha.

In that case I prolly lost, but that's all well with me because I can't handle the 1 week, 1 comic thing.

Not with being a WoW addict :c gemmin' my lock and getting my boyfriend's tank in tanking condition
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Charlie on Aug 03, 2010, 06:00 PM
Haha my bad, I mistook it. If I had the time though I'd challenge him and work my arse off like I did for the bulk of my entry. The first 2 days of the week are terrible for me to comic on, since Mondays I go in to do HW, and Tuesday I have a 9.5 hour day of school. I finished my entry for this from Wednesday night to Sunday morning essentially, so if I were to take him on now I could probably pump out the same quality almost as my invitational round. The only thing is I'm away this weekend so I'd be unable to do it anyway haha.

Another time I guess :P

Holy shit, two 50/50 battles. This is getting exciting now!

By my count, if it's displaying correctly and going by what Angieness said about the brackets, I think I'm supposed to be fighting either Abura Oribu or Tod Zombie, depending on who wins that fight. Which frankly, either one would make for a hilarious and awesome battle.

Good luck to everyone!

Hey, you know what's awesome about this tournament? After a round, even the people no longer in the tournament can keep fighting! And you know there's a huge pool of other characters that are most definitely available!

Go find yourself a partner and start seeing what you can do with 2-3 weeks!

Once the voting period ends, how long until we know who we're fighting? Will it automatically pair us up or do we have to wait for someone to do it manually?

I start the next tournament round around 7am CST each time.  I'm asleep before it ends, but do all the prep-work first so it's an easy copy and paste once done.

Though I'm not now looking into an automated way of doing this as well.  I had a bit of an epiphany last night, and if it pans out, it could wind up saving everyone a lot of time.


EDIT: PROOFREADING IS IMPORTANT, KIDS!  I hate when I spelling error completely changes a sentence, like 'not' instead of 'now'.  Anyway, ON WITH THE SHOW!

That's kind of funny. Since I mostly did comedy last round I was hoping to do something with action (if I had an opponent like Beef or Pico) or something with some drama and character development (if I had an opponent like Linsey Pescion or Ms Clean). Granted there were some characters that I would have had to really reach with, but I wanted to try something a little different this round. I didn't realize the determination to have a fight was going to be all over the place like a virus.

While back story is interesting and all, I don't think it's really necessary for the battle.  While Varachian is some sort of race that Ridley's author came up with and probably has some deep backstory the profile says to pretty much treat it like a demon.  you know talks like a demon, walks like a demon, clucks like a demon etc.  So I wouldn't overthink it.

Yeah, I'm trying to practice with it now, before I do any actual penciling. It's tricky, but I feel like this'll be worth my time and money. My major problem right now is that my mechanical pencil lead keeps breaking off each line- is my technique wrong, or is this just inevitable?

Great start to the week, I'm sick, have tons of 3D homework, and my computer is on the fritz. Now i have to do this 3 way too, so yeah...if my comic ends up not being as good as my last one this is why. If I can get this sorted out by Wednesday then COOL BEANS, cause wednesday - Sunday was the time I took to make my last comic since its all I can afford throughout the week due to the other days being filled with school and such. So yeah, just a heads up if I do not turn anything good in this go around =(

I was advised to change the pacing on my comic and told that I could tell the same amount of story in fewer pages so I'm trying to keep my page count lower this time around. It's looking like about 8, which might give me enough time to do mine in color this time around which would be nice.

Post by: Charlie on Aug 11, 2010, 01:35 AM
I have no clue how many pages I will have, I just sketched out two in blue so far and then I need to lay some pencils overtop of it once I get all my pages done. I dunno how many I will have, but this is definitely uncomfortable for me. I have made all my comics digitally but with my comp down for the count I won't be able to haha. If I can get it up later this week I could colour under my pencils I bet, but I am hoping to have all my pages pencilled by thurs/fri so I can go into my school on the saturday and scan and go into PS to add the text and touch it up. So yeah, hopefully my pencils will be good enough to carry me through to the next round, I fear the lack of colour might seal it for me. I'll just have to make sure my drawings are extra nice I guess. I won't even bother inking either cause I use like...a 4B pencil usually so my lines will be dark enough it won't matter lol! So yeah, I just hope people enjoy my comic anyway, even if traditional comic making is super alien to me heh.

As it stands I won't know until tomorrow ish and I hope I won't have to reformat it =/. Oh well! This round has been a nightmare so far thats for sure haha, but regardless I am still turning in an entry because I don't believe in defaulting and I'll still try to make it kickass because I don't want to let my opponents down with a lack of a cool comic.

Serious guys, you're literally just posting journals now. There's a place for that (http://www.livejournal.com/).

Internet is a distraction, and you've got to draw an entertaining comic before the end of the week!
If you simply must avoid drawing may I suggest discussing your favourite existing Void comics in the Awesome Battles Thread (http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=8896.0), or current comics in the Battle Discussion Thread (http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=11261.0).
If you've been knocked out already maybe now is the time to post on the Challenges Thread (http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=8531.0), or proposition some oldies in this weird thread Monday made (http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=11353.0). Though, maybe a more constructive use of the forum would be to leaf through the Void University (http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?board=18.0).
Better yet - you could jump in head first and hope you get picked for the new and exciting Under New Management Tournament (http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=11362.0)! It's something I personally have been looking forward to for a long time, so I 'd like to see lots of people join.

There are almost 50 of us though, and then people posting who aren't involved in the tourney too. Making comics is great, but if that was all I wanted to do I wouldn't need the site at all. I'm here to mingle a bit with some other comic makers, get to know the community and bounce ideas around, enjoy the experience to the fullest and all. No one would stick around if this was just meant to be slave labor.  :D

While we are showing some Munkei off, here is a WIP panel from a page. Its not the full panel, some stuff in the corner is cut off yadda yadda. Pencils. Woo! Gotta say though making a comic with pencil and paper is still really alien feeling to me. I had to get it out of my head 400 times to stop trying to ctrl-s and ctrl-z.

You guys can comment and have fun on the forums, that's what they're there for. But please don't forget to comment on battles, including ones that aren't part of the tournament since I'm sure everyone would appreciate the feedback.

I try to comment on battles outside of this tourney (then again I've been here since before this tourney anyway) but this does also go both ways. I've seen a few regulars post on the invite battles, but there could be more (including some that post in this topic) that could also be posting in more of our battles as well. I know there is a lot of battles to comment on, but like I said the street goes both ways :P. Not trying to stir shit up, just sayin'. I know I have read a couple of the recent battles like Bat vs Chia that I need to comment on, I just haven't yet.

Well my reason for not commenting on the tourney battles is cus I mean they were given a week (life included) to do these. I cant really advise quality or completion much when you have to shove out this stuff in such a short time.

Post by: Angie on Aug 13, 2010, 07:38 AM
I haven't commented because I put 40 something comics up, thumbed a large chunk of them and had to fix technical issues and track down the people with those technical issues for like 1/5 of the entries haha after doing that all I honestly wasn't up to commenting. It's like that feeling you get when you work on a piece of art too long and don't feel like looking at it afterwards. While I read and voted on each comic, I didn't comment because of all of the above.  I think people will take me putting the comics up over commenting any day. There's sadly only so much time I can devote to the site between mod stuff, working on a BB, and working two jobs (second job being freelance)

Also no one take that I'm trying to be mean or piss in anyone's Cheerios, that's not my intent. The overall message Salt and I were trying to convey was hey, you can post in this thread and have fun but please don't forget there's an entire site to interact with too. There's battles to comment and read on and an entire forum filled with topics to get involved in or even start your own. We welcome all the activity but you have to look at it from our point of view. It never hurts to branch out and try to get to know the other Voiders by getting involved in the community outside of this thread. A lot of us vets are reaching out to you and trying to talk to you in this thread, maybe try to reach out to us too?

It's funny that this is such controversy.  Void is having sudden growing pains and it shows but at the same time it means we're learning.  Now the reason for not having all activity occur in dame place is matter of index.  Say there is a point or advice or even a picture you want to look back on.  With such a large topic it makes it hard to look back on it.  Which is why I made attempts early in to redirect conversations to proper threads.  I just gunk it makes discussion easier if you're going to discuss specifics to move it to other threads for the sake of community.  Otherwise if we're still talking about the same thing who cares?
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Cherubas on Aug 13, 2010, 04:53 PM
Why does it matter if this is the top thread? For me it displays a big "NEW" symbol next to every thread with a new post. If people are seriously too lazy to click on the news and updates thing to see if there are any other new posts then being active in the forums probably doesn't mean that much to them.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Aug 13, 2010, 04:58 PM
I think it's because we're pretty used to new people getting excited and involved in a big event and most of them leaving. When the event ends it'll kind of suck if a lot of people leave because they really don't have much else they want to talk about :(. I don't wanna see this become another case of all the new people coming for a new event and leaving when it's done. Some people are inevitably going to leave but we'd like to keep who we can. That's why some of us are trying to nudge new people to get involved here, so they'll have reason to hang around even if the tournament is done.

yeah guys it's not really griping about this thread being THE TOP POSTED THREAD IN THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET  or whatever, it's moreso just trying to keep interest in this AS WELL AS the wonderful opportunities that are on the rest of these forums that you can take a part in if you're knocked out of the tourney

it's really easy for interest in the site to wane when you're not actively participating in something, so don't treat angie's and the others posts as GROUCHY GRAMPA POSTING or whatever. Because they're right

At this point, I'd be okay if I didn't make it to the next round, especially considering my college art classes will be starting up next week. I can't wait to see Atomic John's round, and all of the other match-ups as well!

I'm not feeling so good about this one. I didn't give myself enough time to put in colors like I did the last one. I feel like I've taken it down a notch instead of up ;n; But I did do my best with the digital inks, so at least I'm ok with that.

On the bright side, I'm looking forward to the comics again!

Putting up the first round of comics. And everyone please don't wait to send your thumbnails way after you uploaded your comic. It's kind of a hassle for me to make thumbnails and to keep having to replace them because I got thumbnails from the artist an hour later.

Nah, it's because there isn't "tournament battle" on the drop down list for the battle minions so for some odd reason it's auto making them death matches. It's something Toast has to go in and fix.

I did warn many times for people not to upload unless you're sure it's complete :( When people upload pages I assume it's done and put the comic up. You're going to have to email toast@entervoid.com to get the additional pages in because I don't have the power to do that. The most I can do for you now is take it down from voting until Toast can fix it.

For me its like "OMGWhy did I decide to try painting backgrounds for this!!!!!?" I'm going to line and cel shade the characters but why did I decide to just experiment a bit D:. If it was maybe not a tourney and I had more time it would make sense but I don't think sense is with me this time. Its a good thing my pagecount is around 5 this time around, I managed to write a story and hopefully have it paced well enough within those 5 pages, but I almost fear my inexperience with digital painting will end up being the death of me.

I'm gonna be rushing my last two pages, but I'm determined to finish on time tonight. Something WILL be uploaded tonight, and hopefully it'll be good enough to go up against Xintastic's comic!

Get better, soon, Angie. :C

Thanks for the well wishes guys, I'll survive since it's nothing major. It's just horrible timing haha

Thanks Angie! Get some rest.

Aw man, Theo, you got nothing to worry about. Your comics are really charming, and I definitely rushed this one due to being out of town for the majority of the week. Looks like I'm dead, haha.

Post by: Zest on Aug 29, 2010, 08:41 PM
Aww, thanks, Xin! Heh, my comics are gonna be a bit rushed too- I'm rushing to ink my other pages, hopefully they won't suck too bad. I can't wait to see how yours turn out. Your character was super fun to draw, and it's the first female character I've really drawn that doesn't look like a dude in drag. At least, I hope it doesn't. XD

Dumb question: Since I was unable to finish inking my comic fight against Xintastic, can I ink that and post it as a Beyond Battle? I'd like to use it to practice more inking and also for the sake of completing the comic.

Since I am taking a break now (Two pages done in one day? That's lunacy!) I will comment on something.

I really appreciate everyone involved with this tournament. Participants. Moderators. Tech support. Voters. Those who left feedback.

To all of those who did not progress.
To the six of us who remain.

Good work!
I look forward to the conclusion!

Drinks are on Roflqu.

Same here. I gave a rather piss poor showing in the first round so I better make something to show what I can do.

It's not that you get knocked the fuck outta the tourney, it's that you finally have your character in after what, 5 years?

Post by: Mishi on Sep 10, 2010, 01:00 AM
Hey Guys,

This is a formal apology, especially to ShojinTakaru. I'm very sorry I won't be able to make it this round. Life and job priorities have kind of caught up to me and I gotta cut my losses-- which is a shame, cuz I had 6 pages roughed out already. This is definitely something I want to finish up in a beyond battle! I wish all the remaining fighters luck and you guys kick ass.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Charlie on Sep 10, 2010, 01:11 AM
Sorry to hear it! I was looking forward to what you have, why not still submit what you have though? It would be better than you defaulting =(. But its understandable, life gets in the way sometimes! Can't wait to see the BB :)

As for where I am, lining page 8. If I get that lined, I gotta colour pages 6-8 (which won't take terribly long). Then I'll have 8 left to go, I'm beginning to feel this a little for once. My endurance is beginning to falter slightly because I have a lot of college HW and I'm sacrificing sleep to get both of these done haha. Thankfully next round kind of falls into the break, since next week I have finals in college. But I'll be damned if I don't finish what I started, and I am not regretting this because I think this is my best comic yet.
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: beardedMenace on Sep 10, 2010, 05:39 AM
Bummer, Mishi, but I hear you loud and clear!  Can't wait to see your stuff free from these restricting deadlines!

As long as we're being all confessional, after a long internal debate, I've decided to split my entry.  I just won't be able to fully render it all.  So I'll be posting the second half after voting.  Just a heads up so you guys are prepared!  I hope it will still be enjoyable!
Title: Re: The Void Invitational!
Post by: Angie on Sep 10, 2010, 08:01 AM
That sucks Mishi, but life happens so it's okay. You should submit the roughs you have so you at least don't eat a default.

@ Mishi:  That's too bad, but I understand that things in life come up and all.  Good luck with managing everything.  I'm looking forward to seeing the BB.


@ Orange:  Jeezus, I can't believe you finished 16 pages. @_@X;;  I can't wait to see it. : D  Must be pure epicness!



I had trouble uploading as well, not the fault of void, though more of a case of unreliable internet at my apartment.  I honestly don't know why I'm paying for it if it sucks so bad. >: (  I have to talk to my landlord.  This isn't the first time I've had problems.    I had to jet down to a starbucks at breakneck speed.  Kinda good that I did, got the comic uploaded and something to eat/drink, been living off of cereal the whole day.

Indeed Cherubas. And Orange's is giving me goosebumps! What is going to happen next!?!?! A big crisis to end on a 3 way fight for?

And I really enjoyed ShojinTakaru one. The full extent of your abilities come out in every new battle. Plus the end was really cute. :D

Runic and beardedMenace fights... Good all around I can say. Though I am sorry that beardedMenace had to half his fight. :(

Makes me wait in atticpation of next weeks results. (I better vote this time...) Here is to the semi-finalists!
