Taking A Break

So, this has probably been obvious for while, just wanted to let everyone know what's going on!

For the past few months I've just been... pretty out of it, really. Can't stay alert, can't focus, it's been all I can do to get my Daily Sketches out. I've been trying to prod myself into getting back up to odding blogs, staying connected on Discord, and so on, but all that's been ending up happening is beating myself up over not being able to. Overwhelmed by outside factors and not really able to commit much to online stuff, however much I want to. I'm sure I'm not alone there.

So - I'm just taking a break from social media until the first of the year, putting side blogs on hiatus and just checking Discord for important communications.

I'll still be doing my Midori sketches on @starlitskvaderart, and if I manage to make any more art I'll be posting it there.

I'll start queueing for @madeinmobius again on January 1st, and will post toward the end of December to get nominations for a Featured Character for January.

@sonic-oc-showdown will have entries open until January 1; I'll post more there after the first for organization purposes and starting to FINALLY get it up and running.

@roninversary-brawl will have its song tournament sometime after the first, with Fan Character Of The Month likely resuming in February.

Thanks for understanding! I'll be on discord (starlitskvader) if you need to reach me (though I may need a few days to respond). Take care of yourselves, and see you in a month and a half!

Is this showdown still on?

It is, and I will be accepting submissions until January 1st. Stay tuned to see why!

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

How close are we to our goal of entries for the showdown to start?

I am taking six more in either division! I'll start making the images this weekend, and be ready to go once those are sketched!

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

Does it count ask sumbiting the same character if it's a different AU?

Yes, it would still be considered the same character.

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

Howdy! I submitted my entry a while ago now but haven't seen my name on the list. Did it not go through, or did I miss something in the submission? :0 Would really love to be apart of this if possible, please let me know, if you have the time!

I don't see your URL on either of the forms! Please go ahead and resubmit.

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

Hey there! I sent an ask a while ago, but it never got answered, so I'm asking again, just in case it got buried or eaten. If we submitted a ship for the showcase, can we request to have it switched into the main tournament? I submitted my ship to the showcase because I was scared I wouldn't have time for the full tournament, but I think now I'd have time. If not, I've got another ship I could submit to the tournament.

Apologies, I never saw that one! Go ahead and submit.

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

So are we combining all the tornaments? And if not/so, can I submit a seperate platonic and romantic ships with the same OC?

Hello!

The tournaments will be combined. Each character may still only be entered once, so you will have to choose which ship to enter.

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

Sorry if this has already been asked but we're do we submit the ships for the oc x canon?

Right here.

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

If I'm going to submit a ship to the showdown, does the ref. have to be art? Or can it be something else?

Yes, references do have to be art.

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

Hey everyone! It's the 16th, and.... there still aren't enough entries to proceed as planned, or to create an even bracket for either tournament.

So - what's your preferred next step?

If the tournaments are combined, then seven more entries total will be accepted for a total of forty double-elimination slots; if they are kept separate, there will be two more allowed entries for OC x OC (for a bracket of sixteen) and twelve more for OC x Canon (for a total of 32), both single elimination.

Cast your vote, and we'll see where we are when it ends!

As a reminder:

OC x OC Entry Form is here!

OC x Canon Entry Form is here!

The current entries are here!

(If you have filled out the form but are NOT among the entries, it's probably because you did not provide refs. Feel free to re-enter!)

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

The Public Roster Is Here!

Go here to check out the lists of current competitors!

There are two ships who were entered but do not appear on the public roster - this is because no refs were submitted. References are mandatory for this tournament, and image URLs can be pasted directly into the questionnaire.

If you entered but did not submit a ref, you can message the blog directly to send your reference links; any new entries without refs will not be counted!

There's still plenty of time and space to sign up!

For OC x OC entries, go here!

For OC x Canon entries, go here!

See you soon!

Tournament Update!

Hello everyone! Thanks for bearing with me - I've had a really busy month!

There are still plenty of slots open in each tournament, so the start of the tournament is being postponed to get a few more in! Right now, we're moving out a month to September 17.

This week, though, I'll be starting a public spreadsheet to start sorting out the actual bracket. For now, it'll be just a listing of the ships and the owners of the characters involved, but as we get more in I'll start randomizing which ship goes up against which.

Look for the spreadsheet in the coming week, and be sure to get your entries in!

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

Hey! Sorry to bother, but as of now, are there any oc x oc slots left?

There are!

I'll post an update sometime this weekend - I've been super busy, but doing some cleanup now. ^^

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

still contemplating whether or not I'll submit some guys but. how many confirmed things so far ? need to know if I should decide faster

So far there are 17 confirmed for OC x Canon (just over half of available slots), and 10 for OC x OC (just under a third).

[sonic-oc-ship-showdown]

Will we be messaged to confirm our acceptance if we submitted a ship for the showcase?

Yes, once I go through and log the entry you will get a DM stating if they were accepted or if something needs to be edited/redone!
