Battle season, info here!

well i got that done but is it alright if he doens't have like a special "power"?

Sure.
...but when I asked about it, I meant that you posted them. We want to know your OAC. Editing your original OAC post to include the textual information is a good idea.

ok i updated it tho...

Niceness. Now, all that's left are five things on that there agenda:

-Edyrem's OAC
-Hotaru's OAC
-Cryvern's Opponent
-Cryvern's OAC
-Cryvern's opponent's OAC.

...and maybe a tourney tree shuffle. *shrugs*
...it looks like we won't be able to avoid a three-way battle anytme soon.

How about we just call them "fighters"
Doesn't have to be a three letter acronym lol.

And oh god, a three way?
Why don't you just make it that Cryvern gets into the second round automatically if he doesn't get a battle, to even out the numbers. i.e. the winner of Tom vs Me has to fight Cryvern.
I know it's not exactly fair that Cryvern gets to this stage by default, but it'd mean that every body will get to do a battle at some point.

So if you expect that to even out the numbers, I'm guessing that you're compressing someone's bracket to fit two fights in one. How about he latches on to SethX and Touma's bracket, then?
But, ya know, unless we aquire five more fighters, there will be a three way sooner or later, whether it be in the semi-finals or the finals. Sounds like hell, doesn't it? Sounds like the most fearsome beast that a battle animator has ever had to take on. I'm up for it, however hard and gruesome it'll be.

...the reason why I didn't initially call them fighters was because I wanted a term that we'd be able to use out of nowhere in average conversation that someone would recognize... y'know, a proper noun. ...buuuut, call it what you maaaaay~!

Malfunction, you've made a good argument and I'm gonna call them fighters until we get a real catchy name going. As for the cryvern idea, I most certainly am on board with this. Hitorio, your 3-way idea is nulled by the Cryvern idea, but there is somewhere else where 3-way could be involved. As you can see in the picture, there's room for second chances for one of the defeated players to take on the game again. This could entail a sort of epic way for one of the dead characters to be chosen to be revived

I've made a makeshift tournament branch to help flesh out the concept so far:


@Touma: Excellent developments my friend, I'm looking forward to seeing your warrior fight on the battlefield.

@Seth: Lacking inspiration? Feel like quitting?

Look how far you've come:

It would sure look cool on your life story to see you burst out with a full-fledged fullbody animation out of NOWHERE.

I'm still in the process of developing my character concept, and I'll make a sheet as soon as it's set in stone.

Smexy. Never thought of contracting and expanding the fight numbers to even things out. That should be the official tournament tree, even leaving room for a late participant to find a spot.

Edit: Wait, I mentioned it at the top of the page. How douchey of me. /Mind slip 'n fall

@edyrem you amaze me.
@Touma brush > colour #000000 > alpha 49% > shade away

Close to complete character:

Rofl, a female sasuke.

Don't.

Here's a closer concept of her hair and face:


Whoever else says this is Sasuke is a glorious winged homosexual.

Well I learned new shit terdei. Colors on the opposites of the color wheel "clash"; two of these clashes happen to be yellow (hair) and purple (shirt). I like the bottom design moreso than the top in terms of pure appearance. Maybe add the belts onto the bottom?

...and what the hell; why not choose the power concept before designing?

Edyrem, your character does resemble sasuke. the skirt thingy, the spikes going down in front of the ears, the pointy backside part of the hair.

It seems like you haven't really experimented with different types of clothing.
What I like to do when designing a character is actually do some research.
for example, look at styles of clothing in history or job types. and don't be hesitant to experiment and mix and match different pieces of clothing to get a unique look.

Btw, Edyrem, what are her powers/ strengths/ weaknesses?

Also, nice find, hitorio, this is some valuable information!

I agree with Tom it does kind of resemble the Angsty Firebreathing ninja
the first design the red drape thing looked like the Sasuke's drape thing
i like the second designs better
esepecially the face on the very right and the one on the top middle
the others aren't to my tastes though
anyways i'm glad you guys have started this thing up
i'll look forward to it myself when i gain more animation experience
(if this is a weekly deal or something)

Jettzin, FB animation takes more than q week to make it look awesome.
and this battle season is all about gaining experience, so why don't you join in?
Cryvern is still looking for an opponent!

Okay i'll join
also i realized that the Edyrem's character looks like a femal blonde version of a character for a story i was making -__- i hate coincidences like this lol
Back to the drawing board :p

I'll post something here later

Nice! Let me add you to the list! send cryvern a PM about you battling him and design your character and put it up here so we can see what he/she/it looks like!

Edys character and mine compliment eachother, she looks like a character out of Set's universe

Regarding the problem that rests witin my and Aku's battle:

Aku will be taking his leave from his home city without substantial means to complete his entry on time. This would ordinarily not be much of a problem since the both of us had our match scheduled for a year, but since a tournament has been constructed around this event, we need a way to remain in the tournament despite the setback. Unless Aku somehow re-attains new gear in Florida and can resume the battle, adjustments should happen.

Suggestions:
This one is the one that calls for negative effects to occur upon the bracket that is within our vicinity. The hardest but most fair choice is to postpone the battles in our bracket until Aku can re-attain his gear. This could take an extra month.

The more unfair but time-saving option is to, as Edyrem illustrated a few posts back, stretch our branch so that Aku and I aren't given as many matches to fight as the others. I dislike the idea since it gives us an unfair quantitative advantage. Since we are given less matches to fight, however, it means that we can spend the extra time to catch up on our own battle while everyone else is fighting theirs and the tournament progresses smoothly.

The reason that I am suggesting these ideas that may infect the tournament tree is because our battle was sort of the trigger or the foundation of the tournament, more or less. The tournament seems to have been constructed around my and Aku's battle, which had its own agenda, as opposed to the both of us entering independently and declaring a ridiculous amount of time to finish. If we could be accomodated for that, Aku will not have to face elimination because of time problems, since, if everyone were to continue while he is incapacitated, he would be dropped.

If there are any other suggestions, It'd be nice to hear 'em.

======

Hopefully there will be just a few more contestants, maybe two to four more. After that or after considerable time has passed and everyone has begun battling, the tournament tree should be drawn up, officiated, and locked in...so that it can officially begin.

Year long battles!

I got the waist drape idea from this:


I remember seeing it on a commercial in national geographic. I just copied it from memory is all, but I think it would be a lot more different if I wrapped it like that reference picture. It would look better more tightly wrapped like that since she's a very good acrobat, so it would make more sense. But I mean, wow... the way I did it was Sasuke as fuck, man... I mean, look how badly I copied Sasuke:

The dangling cloth...
The "half-skirt" thing going on...

Sasuke hair? Well obviously I copied Sasuke, I mean look:

lol the second drawing you did was good
but its good you didnt deny the fact lol
also
@Aku: Astrid and Set gonna shag it up?

Yo yo yo
So Jettzin's gonna be my opponent?
I gotta make my char first..

Jettzin, I was sarcastic, dammit.
Sure, it's a little bit similar but to say I straight up copied Sasuke just pisses me off. There are several anime characters with that 'Sasuke hair' but I don't see you saying I copied them.

Gonna say Hinata is a Sasuke clone too now?
