The time has come!

EDIT: DEADLINE CHANGED TO MAY 10.

The auditions for the tournament that , , and myself are hosting are officially OPEN!

INFO NOW AVAILABLE!

The StarChunk Smash n Bash: Your face will be terminated!

So what's up with the name? Well nothing, the story will be crack, therefore so will be the title. Prepare to terminate some faces!

Prince Shiro: [link]
Hako: [link]
Trevor (Recognize him, Winter Brawl fans?): [link]
Kara: [link]
Kuro(boy) : [link]
Kuro(girl) : [link]
Lina: [link]
Castle Ref: [link]

So here's the story:

The Prince Shiro has lost "that which is most precious" to him. While he will not say what it is, it is so important that he is lost without it, as apparently it is also full of magical powers. In order to retrieve it, he sent out his guards to scout out people to participate in a tournament to find the strongest fighter. The winner, should he/she be the nice character they are and help out the poor Prince will get a nice reward involving lots of cash. If they're jerks and decide to keep that "that which is most precious" to themselves, well, whatever floats your boat right?

Just a warning, there is lots of crack in the story just to let you know! <3

Auditioning time:

Have a reference sheet of your character. ORIGINAL characters only please, so no fan characters. I eat fan characters for breakfast on top of my toast.

Let's have some variety too! It's always fun to have a lot of different unique characters! Try your best! The entry comic should have them being approached by one of the guards (the characters up there) and learn about the tournament. How the guards approach your character is completely up to you. They can have a kickass fight, they can be diplomats and talk or even have something unexpected like oh I don't know...a danceoff? A yaoi fanservice fi--*BRICKEDBRICKEDSHOTSHOTSHOT*

You do what you want.

COMICS ONLY PLEASE! While having one-page splashes and animations would be sweet, it makes judging a lot easier if everyone just does the same thing like the sheep we are. (I know, baaaa--but if you can prove that you can knock our socks off with a great story rendered in juxtaposed images, we'll think better of you.)

Also, I know this is a given, but please make sure that the comics are drawn by you, not traced off of some Shonen Jump magazine. FINE PRINT: Or Marvel, or DC, or Tokyopop, or anything that looks REMOTELY like it's from a licensed series. Shihochan and Captain-Feces may be a little bit more lenient, but I sure won't be. If it looks traced, screencap-stolen, or if it's someone else's art (unless you're working as a writer/artist team--but only then), your entry will be dismissed. End of story. Only original characters, please.

Coloring and inking is not required, just make it look like you put some effort into it, mmkay? Also, there is no required page amount--just do how much you think is right.

Auditions should be due on the MAY 10TH 11:59 pm PACIFIC time.

But if it needs to be extended so there can be more people, that will work too. That's an IF, though. Best you get your stuff in early so that you can gear up for the next round! If we're lucky, we should have 16 people. It will be done elimination style. (4 rounds)

Note us a link to your character ref sheet and audition! You can note or Your Friendly Neighborhood Block o' Soy--me! (In fact, just send 'em all to me. You know ya wanna! XD)


Judging style:

We want equal emphasis on both story and art. Entries will be judged on technical skills, effort and how polished everything is. We will also look for how well the story flows, an interesting and effective panel layout and accurate character portrayal. It will be done on a point system, which may sound restricting, however but this is more about how you can be creative within the system that we set up. We want the judging to be as fair as possible.

There will be props for extras such as humor but that's not a main point. Also at the end of each round we'll give out critiques for the entries and say why which ones won and why the others lost yadda yadda.

The judges, including the hosts are these people:



Prizes?

1st place - Three month subscription + art stuff, in other words, showering you with fanarts and gifts of what you want.
2nd place -One month subscription + art stuff, still showering you with drawings of what you want.
3rd place(s)- Art stuff, you know the drill.

These people will be giving out the prize art, go check them out:



Of course spectator entries are always welcome! <3


We're expecting a decent turnout, so if you think your comic drawin' skillz are up to par, take a shot at it! Show us what you've got!

Remember, the deadline for all auditions ends MAY 10, 11:59 PACIFIC TIME. That means all you guys in the other time zones better hustle, because we're not making any exceptions.

Can you recover what is lost? And once you do, will you return what you found? Or will you take what you've earned with your own hands?

SHOW US YER MOVES!
