Endzone

Okay, since we're cluttering up the Funny Comic Pictures thread, I figured it would be good to give it it's own topic.

Anyway Endzone is a tournament set up by the creater of the web comic Ever After. Basically it is a huge artist battle between OCs the artists created. Each artist would be pit against the other and draw a comic showing how a battle between the two characters would go, and the best comic 'wins' and is sent to the next round to do another one. Recently the final battle has been finished, and now the final prize is awaited.



This is all 64 entries into the tournament (Click to be sent to the page which has the respective artists below the image). Overall it was a lot of fun to read. I read both the finalists entries (Or in the case of Climber, watched the awesome flashes), and was amazed at the incredible way it was written. I enjoyed Unknown's Climber character immensely (See sig), and greatly enjoyed the storytelling of Lan's entries for his character Dood.

Other people of note would be Grampy by Effendee, Baghead by Sketchfighter316, Alice by Eisenevsky, Skye by Ma-sterSolly, Chimbley Sweep by Concentrationmoon, the female demon by Zombiesmile, OMG by Sebby the freak, Ms. Crowley by the Crowchan, Shado by Shadoboxxer and the Devil Plushie by Renata-young. Mr. Seles by Captrosko is good too, in a money grubbing kind of way. All these can be viewable through the link on the image.

Overall the tournament was a lot of fun to watch, and I eagerly await the final entry.

Also it brings up the question of the possibility of a similar OC tournament being held among writers, looking at how successful this one was.

That would be neat. Except if Fosfor entered. We'd wait so long to get pwned, and be happy about it. :unsure:

Heh true enough but it would be fun nonetheless... If enough people are interested I would love to see this done. If I can organize things in my real life I might run it but as it stands now that could be a bit.

Fosfor wouldn't last past round one, with how slow he writes. ^_^

I was recently made aware of this. What an evil, evil teaser. However things are not dead on The Climber's side. And apparently there's this too. I believe there's a chance The Climber's backstory will be told in comic format. :ph43r: :yay:

Thanks to Luthorne for the heads up.

I know, that animation was badass... I kept checking on endlings page, waiting for the finale to appear but it's still in progress... The Castle of Nations Comic is nice to see though (Unknown person's other OC contest entries are really cool though. Might be looking into the newest one, a steampunk fighting thing. Unknown person, Ian-kun and Endling are all entering with cool villains.)

Please don't tell me that if I want to read all of it, I'll have to search for a long time.

...I'll have to, isn't it?

Top of page dood. Image links to a page that has all the artists in column format in conjunction with their characters on the image itself.

To be frank there will be a little bit of searching involved through the artist's gallerys, but it's far simpler than what I had to go through to read most of this. Rec'd artists to look through are in the OP.

The thing is what work you have to do is totally worth it... this OC tournaments finalists (hell even semi finalists and below) are some of the best competitive artists on deviant art. Great art, great story telling, so many sub plots...

This is THE best oc tournament (as much as I enjoyed Talos it doesn't hold a candle to the scope, size, or content of Endzone)

Yep. Glad it's finally going to get the ending it deserves. Hopefully. But I have little doubts in that regard.

Still gotta look into creating a Writer's OC Tournament. Granted there was Desire... but that didn't exactly go well... :sweat:

Part 2.

Hmm... slow going from here on in, but the expressions are good. And it seems to reflect Unknown's epic flash so far, only from Red's point of view so far. This is shaping up to be epic.

Interesting...
And NGD? Do you think we could try a TFF OC writer tourney, thing? Not on DeviantArt, but just on the board?

We could, but I'm so busy it's not funny. And I have a bunch of RP I still need to get around to. Though I suppose I could work as a judge. Goodness knows I've had a plan of sorts out for a while and a general direction for it to go in that could easily shift to meet the creative competitor's interests.

nice to see more of the finale... you know another nice thing to this is that the everafter comic will start updating again after this finale is finished... I really want to see how that story will go...

as for the writing tourney I'm still all for it...I never got to finish my desire entry and I wasn;t a huge fan of some of those contest constrictions.

It only took... what, a year and a half?
Still, nice to see it.
Now, I want that damn epilogue...
