Title: SPEED DEATH TOURNEY 2011
Post by: Wei Ingnan on Aug 29, 2011, 03:26 PM
THE 2011 SPEED DEATH TOURNAMENT!
(http://www.entervoid.com/images/5headers/SDT2011kujo.jpg)


Accept no namby-pamby half baked substitutes.....enterVOID.com's most successful almost annual event has returned and it is once again hungry for blood.

* Applications will be taken until September 16th.
* Final artist selection will take place between September 16th - September 18th.
* Each round will have one week for drawing, one week for voting.
* Round One will begin September 19th with a deadline of 12:00 Midnight on Sept. 26th
* All Matches are DEATH matches... thus the "Death" in Speed Death Tournament. Existing Characters may be used, but remember a default or loss will result in the unmutable death of the character. Anyone unwilling to see the death of a character should submit a new original character for the chopping block.....only the winner of the tournament will see his or her character walking away from this one.
* Only new or Active Characters may be submitted.
* New Characters must be original material as per standard site rules; no fan fiction or copyrighted materials.
* 3 page minimum per comic......'excuse' pages don't count.
* Comics produced must feature your character and your opponent's character as per standard site rules and must feature the death of your opponent's character. Fans of this event would prefer said demise to be as graphic and/or entertaining as possible
* Intention of joining can and should be made below with a design sheet and bio, but all Applications MUST submit their character through the Main Site by September 16th, at the latest.
* Not meeting requirements will result in automatic disqualification from the tournament for the Artist as well as the chance to be shamed by all of their peers. SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.


Artists will be selected from Applicants by Council Majority Vote and placed into matches randomly. This is not first come first served, any and all applicants that meet the posted requirements(and are able to compete on enterVOID) before September 16th will be considered. But just because you enter or enter first does not mean you will be selected. That being said we love seeing new people apply and even moreso see new artists test their mettle against our more established malcontents in the SDT.

The tournament winner will have the title of 'Speed Death Tournament Champion 2011' added to his/her character profile on the Main Site as well as feeling the pride and satisfaction of kicking everyone else's ass.

FOR THOSE NEW TO SDT:
Speed Death Characters only require a Design Sheet and Bio with Character Thumbnail, but do not require Intro Pages. Since the uploader will not let you pass without Intro pages, please use the Design Sheet for all fields.

This tournament is one deceptively tough cookie; the deadlines are tight and the competion is high. This can be a very gruelling event even for seasoned VOID vets; so although we want everyone to have fun we also don't want to see any defaulters or half ass'ers. Take a firm grasp of your upcoming schedule and your ability to perform into account before registering. But at the same time don't worry about about seeing this event all the way to the end .......most of you won't make it.
The following is a list of SDT Matches from years past that we have exhumed from the Archives for your enlightenment and entertainment;

Everyone take note; as with the majority of comics on enterVOID.com there is no set style, theme or environment.....outside of the requirements already described anything is possible and there are no limits.

Aesther "WarHammer" Caramia was once a proud head of a notorious all female street gang, now a bitter old lady being forced to live under the roof of the CinderRose Retirement Home. Her days of playing vigilante were replaced with surviving bingo nights and wishing her grand daughter would visit more often. As luck would have it, CinderRose policy encourages senior fighters to participate in Death Tournaments as a way to support "population control" in the city. Aesther, craving any means of getting out of the diaper smeared hell-hole, decides to take her chances.

EQUIPMENT:
-Bullet-proof leotard
-One 3-Barrel Volley Gun she keeps in a 'cookie jar' holster
-Her pill box with assorted medications and energy pills. (There are acid pills in Sun. since it's her least favorite day.)
-Her fake dentures ( top set ) can be taken out and used like a bat-a-rang. She has a few spares in another holster. She can take out her whole set and use them as a clamp.
-Lastly, a simple metal hammer, which over the years K.O'ed many of her opponents in one swift hit.

Sixtem with:

Clash and Pistol

The year is 20XX. 10 years have passed since the takeover of Warsaw Corporation by Johnny Warsaw and the disappearance of the brilliant scientist Dr. Photon. Photon's work was left hidden and forgotten far beneath Warsaw Tower in his lab, undisturbed to this day.

But now his two greatest creations, a pair of robot 'siblings' named Clash and Pistol, have finally awoken. Clash, intended to be an engineer and scientist and to eventually replace Photon himself, has a strong sense of ethics and morals to guide her insatiable quest for progress and knowledge. Pistol, intended to be a bodyguard and the ultimate weapon, is devoted in his entire being to protecting and serving his 'sister', though he otherwise lacks in personality and empathy.

Failed Experiment doesn't remember his past before he became the test subject, and what happend during testing he doesn't want to remember. He didn't escape, but was threw away when the scientist thought he died. When he woke up in Void City's dump discovering his shapeshifting powers, he decided to find out who he was.

Post by: fowlie on Sep 06, 2011, 01:24 PM
hey Sabubu91, the art itself for your character is pretty nice, but his over all design is whack. He kind of looks like a second rate Anime villain rather then someone who will bring the Apocalypse. When designing a character, especially a character inspired by something else, you need to stop and ask yourself why. Why am I doing the things I am doing?

When I look at this I ask myself the fallowing questions:

Why is Pestilence, the bringer of disease, so healthy and fit with such hansom bone structure and nice hair?

Why would the Christian embodiment of disease wear a Kung Fu uniform? Why does that uniform have huge tuxedo jacket coat tails?

Why no nose, isn't the nose a huge spot for humans to get infections through? Also, why the big elf ears?

Why no horse?

I get the feeling that you just didn't want to have an unattractive character, so Pestilence seems like a really odd choice in that respect.

I hope you get my meaning with all of this :)

Everything you do on VOID should have the potential to be crit and learned from. Isn't that what void is all about? Learning how to be a better artist over all?
Title: Re: SPEED DEATH TOURNEY 2011
Post by: Qyzex on Sep 06, 2011, 05:57 PM
Sure, but sometimes a design is just for fun one way or another. Maybe they'll take your comments to heart, and like them, and make changes. Or maybe they'll ignore them and keep drawing the character that way because it's fun to draw.

That would seem like the biggest reason, to me, to draw them that way. Maybe they're just really fun to draw for that artist. Who knows?

Guys, this is what VOID is for! For someone to make characters they like and then figure out what they can do to make those characters and their comics even better, whether it's emulating a better artist on or off of the site or just trying things out. We've all been guilty of creating stereotypical characters, so this is just on of Sabubu91's attempts.

Besides, isn't this tourney meant to be a killing field? and aren't some of the best mainstream characters stereotypical as hell?

I mean, Sixtem's character looks like Daft Punk...

Thank you so much for the feedback, it's always awesome to get crit 8D

Truth be told, this guy is still in his concept stages and just a test run for EnterVoid. If he gets in to SDT, I aim to convey to the readers on other aspects. If not, it's always back to the drawing board to further round out the character.

(The horse isn't presented because I'm not confident in drawing horses yet, getting there though)

Always great to hear feedback!

You write test run, I just hope that you understand that if your character is in the SDT you should accept the very high possibility they'll die. I just make mention in case you had plans to want to get them in for real. In no way am I trying to dissuade you from doing the SDT, just make sure the character you choose is one you're okay with being dead.

But here? Just for fun? Why the hell not.

Man, save that namby pamby, 'just-for-fun' talk for wfa. 'Fun' gives you no license to go half-assed.

I looked at that character & thought the same damn thing. Nothing about it seems to represent illness incarnate other than the fact that he's green. If you're going to toy with that big & ubiquitous an idea, you give yourself A LOT to work with. Yet absolutely none of that is coming through in Mr. Kung Fu McElven Gaijin here. It wouldn't be a thing if he was supposed to be just some sickness guy, but this is the motherfucking elemental force of all disease & illness we're dealing with here. If you're not going to play that up, the result, while maybe 'fun' is ultimately pretty generic, even if he's got some super saiyan apocalypse form with goo tentacles. As a matter of fact, especially.

And yes, admittedly, horses can be dicks to draw, but noses are pretty damn easy.

Also, enlarging virus & bacteria? His whole MO as a horseman is to get people sick. How's enlarging figure into that? It's not like it's going to get people sicker. If anything, they'll be too big to enter orifices & be rendered completely useless.

And since I'm already on this kick, shouldn't a neo nazi polar bear shave himself to be a skinhead? It'd be way more interesting.



I wasn't really planning on joining the fray, but I might come back with a little something something later. Show you scamps a thing or two on how to design a character.

Okay, yeah, sure. Sorry for thinking fun is important. No need to be a dick because you disagree, even if that is your schtick.


I didn't disagree with Fowlie's critique, I did say that maybe he'd like the feedback and make the changes. In fact, he loved the feedback, so Fowlie did a good job there.

Mara
female
height:5'2"
Weight:same as a duck

Mara is a very powerful witch, in the very traditional sense.  Potions, curses, fortune telling, magical weapons; she can get you anything, but everything has its price.  Her work does not come cheap, but results are sure.  Defaulting on your payment will cost you dear. 

She exists only in a medeval Void City, though sometimes she is allowed glimpses of other Void realities.

 very nice entry Reavz.....always like to see somthing different and I always love to see passionately complete entries...(make sure you follow size restrictions for the actual comics)

but what does this mean?
I will take the high risk and potentially short lived opportunity to take a radically different approach to comics without trying to be professional or aiming for print quality, with the hope that it will provide new and useful insights. I hope everyone will enjoy the comics anyway!

...and yes that would make a great ad image for the SDT as a whole

Post by: Angie on Sep 11, 2011, 08:14 AM
Fuck yes Reavz! That girl is so creepy, it's great. And just so you know, you might have to submit her with an Engrishy sounding name like "Older Sister Burning Heart" because I don't think the system does punctuation. I could be wrong though, I know we had the conflict with Qyzex's Russian character's special characters in his name.
Title: Re: SPEED DEATH TOURNEY 2011
Post by: Reavz on Sep 11, 2011, 08:57 AM
Thanks for the kind words, everyone! ♥

but what does this mean?

For Cherry and Black Cat I tried to follow guidelines for professional print in dpi, image size, text size, use of language, line width, and so forth, while some bad drawing habits made it even more taxing. So it got me stuck because it requires a lot of energy that I didn't have any more (hence my retirement).
In an attempt to find ways that will streamline things and to break those crippling habits, I am not going to follow those same guidelines for Older Sister's Burning Heart. Instead I will be experimenting with things I have no intention of pursuing professionally.
The posted intro comic is done how I draw casually, for fun, but have never applied to a large project. Making it turned out to be both pleasant and not taxing at all, so I look forward to exploring it further and see what exactly it is that makes it so much more accessible. But, like I said, it's not ready for professional work as it is; I am not interested in making a career out of faux-manga. It's from a culture across the world that I didn't grow up with, so I don't think I will be able to take it much further than a loving homage.

And just so you know, you might have to submit her with an Engrishy sounding name like "Older Sister Burning Heart" because I don't think the system does punctuation.
Thank you for the heads up. How do I change the name of a submission?


Here is the advertisement on it's own, for those interested.

Dropping out. I -might- join back in...but I doubt things will change in the next few days. Honestly though, this is the shittiest time of the year for me to take part in something like this. I am graduating really soon so I am not only just busy with that...but I've gotta pack and get ready to move + wrap shit up here all during the first round of this.

I've had to drop so many things so far due to more important things in life right now, but hey, thats just the way life goes I guess. I was really looking forward to this too, had a lot of cool ideas running through my head. I'm doubly pissed because this is the second or third event so far this year I've had to pass up/cancel out of. Maybe next year =/

Is there a rough guestimate on how many weeks this whole tournament will last? Just out of curiosity.
Title: Re: SPEED DEATH TOURNEY 2011
Post by: Pepper JAQ on Sep 14, 2011, 03:07 PM
If 16 fighters, then about 7 weeks. If 32 (we still have a few days for folks to sign up), then 9.

32 (16 fights)
off (voting)
16 (8 fights)
off (voting)
8 (4 fights)
off (voting)
4 (2 fights)
off (voting)
2 (final)
Final Voting

so, if we are starting on the 19th, then the final round will end and final voting will begin either November 7th (16 fighters) or 21st (32).

... at least if I'm doing the math right. (of course, I'm assuming that many fighters, could be 8. XD )

Name: Wyatt Timothy Graves
Family: Father, Mother, Older Brother, Two younger sisters
Age: 28

Wyatt Graves is a professional gunslinger wandering from town to town on his own personal quest to blaze a trail in the new frontier.  As a child, he grew up with his father who served as his hometown's only doctor and the screams of dying men were no stranger to him.  He was told during the wild days of his youth that "you might only have this moment, this day may be your last, and tomorrow may never come.  So live every day as if you were dying."  And with that motto branded into his mind, he's set off to venture and experience the mysteries of the west.


Personality: Gruff and introverted.  He'll kick your face in if you piss him off.

Weapons: He has handed many different types of guns, but he always carries two Colt Peacemakers and a knife that's hidden in a sheathe in his right boot.  He's can also handle himself very well in a fist fight.

- You can change his outfit a little, but make sure it's an Old West style.

Important Note: Everything is set in the Old West.  So Old West Void and opposing characters will be minorly altered to fit the old west theme.

Once there was a girl who had an insatiable hunger for sweets.  It mattered not the type of confection, for it was all a delight.  She ate and ate all sorts of pastries and candies.  Oh each day was a grand joy to her!

But there was a price to such gluttony.  Soon, it was never enough.  How painful the days have become!  That sweet tooth of hers became so great and so evil.  It possessed her and demanded the most heavenly of sweets.

So if you ever come across a dainty girl who asks for a bit of sweets, beware! Do not deny her!  She is no longer like you and I in the face of any sugary delight...

THE GAMERS

(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/259/7/1/pic_by_benjamoid-d4a2f38.png)

3 gamers looking to ditch school discovered a mysterious new arcade, and a strange man revealed to them a once in a lifetime chance at a new online video game.
They climbed into the Virtual Reality pods and started up the game, unaware that they now pilot experimental War Mechs.
The only level in the game is VOID City. The only enemies are its people.

THE GAME

Sentai Dogma Thesis: Ultimate ONLINE Tournament
- “An army of evil sentai are laying siege to Earth. Defeat their forces and Generals and protect your home!”

The game scans the environment and renders it as high quality FPS game animations.
SDT Fighters are re-skinned as masked skin-tight battle suits (major colors carry over) with their same powers.
- Civilians are designated as “DESTROY TO INCREASE HEALTH BAR”.
- Each battle is a Search and Destroy mission.
- Achievements are awarded in the style of any FPS.

The game allows NERD Corps. to use voice and text chat.

THE MECHS

The battle mechs stand 12 feet tall and have all the classic FPS power armor abilities.
- recharge shields
- Enemy radar
- HUD

They are extremely strong, and can sprint at 25 mph. they have boosters that allow for “double jumping”. They can also “use X to climb” building and other surfaces that can’t be reached by their powerful jumps.

BASIC IN-GAME ACTIONS
- Jumping
- Sprinting
- Crouching
- Crawling
Their main feature is their forearms, which can transform into any weapon that game has programmed or creates on the fly.

The game rewards new weapons upon defeating SDT Fighters, or if the situation threatens the destruction of the robot, which will generate a temporary UBER weapon.
- Shot gun
- Pistol
- Sniper
- Semi auto rifle
- Chainsaw (melee)
- UBER weapons (get creative)

ALL WEAPONS USE .50 cal rounds, special weapons are energy based.

Aside from mechanical noises, the mechs have no voices.

The cockpit has wrap around screens, and chair that molds to the user’s body. The game/mechs are controlled by two joysticks.

[HOLY SHIT THAT WAS CUTTING IT CLOSE]

She is BADDONG, sister of BADWANG, and also a magical girl. Something isn't right with her mind.
Her only purpose for being in Void is to beat people up with her giant spoon, then transform them into desserts which she then eats.

I hate to say this, but I have to drop out too.
I've been trying to do some warm-ups and it's all turning out to be too taxing after all. I guess I was just too excited to be making comics here again to admit my handicap.
I apologize sincerely to everyone who supported me.
Good luck to everyone.

Awesome last minute turn out though--very intriguing...

.....and the last hour of my life is why we don't put up lists too soon Wolcik
List updated with all current applicants....voting by Council will now begin.

In the future you kids would save us all a lot of trouble if you would;

A) post your submissions like you are asked....artist name, icon,character name.
B) if due to unfortunate circumstances or bad planning you have to drop out then for christsakes modify your original post

oh yeah and quit stretching out the forums with your giant mondomongo outside of application specs design sheets too
so now that all the initial excitement is almost over and the flakes have dropped off a reminder to everyone remaining

* Applications will be taken until September 16th.
* Final artist selection will take place between September 16th - September 18th.
* Each round will have one week for drawing, one week for voting.
* Round One will begin September 19th with a deadline of 12:00 Midnight on Sept. 26th
* All Matches are DEATH matches... thus the "Death" in Speed Death Tournament. Existing Characters may be used, but remember a default or loss will result in the unmutable death of the character. Anyone unwilling to see the death of a character should submit a new original character for the chopping block.....only the winner of the tournament will see his or her character walking away from this one.
* Only new or Active Characters may be submitted.
* New Characters must be original material as per standard site rules; no fan fiction or copyrighted materials.
* 3 page minimum per comic......'excuse' pages don't count.
* Comics produced must feature your character and your opponent's character as per standard site rules and must feature the death of your opponent's character. Fans of this event would prefer said demise to be as graphic and/or entertaining as possible
* Intention of joining can and should be made below with a design sheet and bio, but all Applications MUST submit their character through the Main Site by September 16th, at the latest.
* Not meeting requirements will result in automatic disqualification from the tournament for the Artist as well as the chance to be shamed by all of their peers. SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.[/b]

Artists will be selected from Applicants by Council Majority Vote and placed into matches randomly. This is not first come first served, any and all applicants that meet the posted requirements(and are able to compete on enterVOID) before September 16th will be considered.

This tournament is one deceptively tough cookie; the deadlines are tight and the competion is high. This can be a very gruelling event even for seasoned VOID vets; so although we want everyone to have fun we also don't want to see any defaulters or half ass'ers. Take a firm grasp of your upcoming schedule and your ability to perform into account before registering. But at the same time don't worry about about seeing this event all the way to the end .......most of you won't make it.
The following is a list of SDT Matches from years past that we have exhumed from the Archives for your enlightenment and entertainment;

Everyone take note; as with the majority of comics on enterVOID.com there is no set style, theme or environment.....outside of the requirements already described anything is possible and there are no limits.

DAMN!!!

-snip- (long winded mess as i'm oft to write)

Going to drop out. Not that I don't want in, but that the more I work on "Anita" the more I'm falling in love with the character all over again. Like I told Angie and Rofl, "seriously. when i worked on the first panels of the comic, it felt not like i was working with someone i was putting in place of kale (as was my fear in the redesign, but rather the true kale... like her name was anita all along and she just wore cat ears."

So, I'm dropping out. But not to be idle. Going to do a normal battle A.S.A.P.

Any takers? XD

Man o man, would i like to have a second shot at Puzzlething.
I hereby command the Council to rig the entire SDT event in MY favour. Like...now.
 
Well not really, but still i hope in some weird way i get Puzzlething.

So far, awesome job everyone involved. This year both quantity and quality have been surprisingly good.
And no defaults!

Too bad there's not a bracket of some sort.  :-X
Title: Re: SPEED DEATH TOURNEY 2011
Post by: Angie on Oct 15, 2011, 08:59 AM
Sorry RTV but the council only rigs things when the following items are sent to us

A giant flat screen tv for each of us
A bucket of kittens for each of us, one of every color in Scottish fold variety
A freezer full of steaks for each of us
An espresso machine for me because I can make drinks for the other council members
A really nice mattress for each of us
A bag full of those new tacos from taco bell that have the shell made out of doritos

Yeah we don't come cheap. I'm sure I missed something as I am at work and don't have the gold plated list of demands
