#OC contest

[tf2occontest]

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Poor Miss Pauling has been utterly overrun by wayward mercenary applications! We at Team Fortress Industries are pleased to announce a new contest for all of YOU original and creative people to thin the flock, prove YOUR worth to the battlefield and this company, and determine who amongst YOU is the best of the best*

This is a contest where you are encouraged to create, share, and fight to the death for the sake of your most prized character! Make art and writing for propaganda, tell us all about them, and face off against one another in a series of randomized polls narrowing down who will win the TF2 OC Contest of 2024!

A pinned post with all of the rules and the submission form for this contest will be following shortly. Be sure to follow this blog for more updates!

*(Not an actual indicator of who is the "best" -- this is meant to be a fun, low-stakes, community driven event.)

He's ruthless when it comes to combat. Take a normal Scout's abilities and multiply them by at least three. Faster, stronger, more durable. Not to say he can't be slowed down at all. You just... have to be fast enough to find a weakness.

“Okay team, listen up:

You’re all going to be fighting each other to the death, and whoever wins gets to start their new lifelong career under contract with Team Fortress Industries!

So. Here are the rules.” - P

----------------------------------------

RULES FOR SUBMISSION:

Your character must be original and be directly related to TF2. 

This can be any kind of OC: Class OCs, tenth class OCs, Machine/robot OCs, Team Fortress Classic OCs, OCs who work outside of TFI (such as assistants to Merasmus or Saxton Hale), YLW/GRN OCs, Teufort citizen/civilian OCs, anything—as long as they are directly related to TF2 and are yours !!!! If you have concerns about this, please dm or send an ask to this account BEFORE submitting your character !!!!

2. !!!! ONE OC PER PERSON !!!!

If you are submitting an original tenth class OC, you are allowed to submit a RED and BLU variant in one bundle. This is the ONLY bundling that is allowed.

Any posts from this blog involving your OC will follow this system of tags: #TF2OcContest2024, #[your tumblr username], #the [class name], & #[character name] (if applicable)

3. You are still allowed to submit an OC even if you’ve never posted them anywhere before. Make an oc for the contest if you want!

An image representing your character and a description of your character are REQUIRED upon submission. Details on what is permitted for each of these are included in the submission form below.

4. Propaganda is allowed and ENCOURAGED, even for others’ OCs!

If you make propaganda including other OCs, you are required to have the creator’s explicit permission before posting. Joking, lighthearted ‘smear campaign’ type propaganda is fine, but again—both parties must consent to this and no real harm should come from it. 

Please post any propaganda of your OC under the #TF2OcContest2024 tag.

5. You are not required to make new art. If you participated in the previous OC Tourney hosted by @/tf2shipswag, you are allowed to reuse any old art you made for that, including your half of the VS cards! 

6. AI GENERATED IMAGES FOR SUBMISSIONS AND PROPAGANDA ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED. YOU WILL BE BANNED.

“You will be considered a traitor to the Mann vs Machine cause and shot on sight. There are plenty of other ways to make images that don’t require drawing!” - P

--------------------------------------------

RULES FOR PARTICIPATION:

There will be NO TEAM-UPS for organization’s sake. Any ties will be broken with a coin-flip and a quick shot to the head by Miss Pauling—so aim to win.

“Sooo… Don’t try any funny business! We’ve only got enough room in the budget for one person.” - P

2. You will not be able to make requests for match-ups. Contestants will be paired up randomly each round.

3. Please be respectful about others' OCs. Verified claims of harassment will result in disqualification and/or being blocked from the contest account.

“You’ll also be shot for this, just so we’re clear. Can’t leave any loose ends!” - P

4. You are allowed to submit propaganda directly to this blog if you do not want to post it on your own account!

5. Deadlines will be strict.  Keep an eye on when dates for things are posted.*

“I’m looking to hire someone punctual and professional, please!” - P

*The contest hosts reserve the right to make changes to deadlines, rules, and so forth but it is unlikely to happen. If it does an official statement will be made!

6. THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: PLEASE have fun with this.  Everybody needs to be a good sport and remember this in no way reflects how people view your work, ideas and character.  In our hearts, you’re all winners.  

7. THERE IS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BULLYING. NONE. YOU WILL BE SHUNNED AND BANNED. TRULY EMBARRASSING TO ACT THAT WAY HERE AND IT WILL NOT BE TREATED KINDLY.

!!!! What do you get for winning? !!!!

You’ll get fanart of your winning character! Art will be by @/sicc-nasti, @/mickmundane, and @/chattycattycal and runner will win a piece by @/loverboy-cc on tumblr PLEASE keep in mind these are NOT requests, just gift fanart!

“You get to live! And bragging rights, of course. Oh—and the job contract. I think someone could also make a celebratory cake? Don’t hold me to that last part, though.” - P

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE SEND IN AN ASK!

You got 24 hours, good luck 🩷

[emberglowfox]

Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)

*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.

This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.

Star Fox: Crisis - Husky Squad 003 Recruit Contest

Attention Good Boys! Rebecca Renard has some news for you! Husky Squad is recruiting.

Ok, doing this ate more time than I realized and now I'm fully burnt out. Anyhoo, for some reason you guys really loved the last Husky Squad. Dunno if its because of the glacial speed of my uploads, or if you're all big Bill fans. Or of my beautiful little girl, Fox (that would make me extremely happy.) Don't know, but regardless, I had the idea of doing another OC contest, but it's not pony related, it's star fox related! I've got another Husky Squad comic to feature OC's in, and then, the big one, a planned cameo spot in Star Fox Crisis! So here's the details.

The Details:

My patrons on Patreon get first dibs. Huzzah, finally something for you guys!

OC's must be your own.

OC's must be hosted on DA for me to reference.

This is Star Fox themed, so your OC's must fit into the Star Fox universe. Nothing unusual, weird, or exotic. (If you're unsure, Miyu from Star Fox 2 is the most unusual you can get, since what she is is a mystery. Use her as a guide.)

Since this is Husky Squad, canine type OC's are given priority, since cornerians from Corneria are mostly dogs, and this is the Cornerian Navy.

Other types will be considered. If your OC is a species native to Lylat that has been shown in a Star Fox game or comic, it'll have a good chance to be picked. (The human from the unused art assets of Star Fox 2 is not acceptable.)

Not everyone who enters will be chosen. There will be more than one chosen though.

My selection methods are my own, I need not state why or how.

There is no ETA on when the Husky Squad comic or the Star Fox Crisis comic featuring your OC will be uploaded. Heck, the Star Fox Crisis might not be till next year or something. I dunno.

Leave a comment here Star Fox: Crisis - Husky Squad 003 Recruit Contest with a link, or embedded artwork that links back to your OC to be entered in the contest.

I am not responsible if you don't read the rules of the contest. SO YOU BETTER READ THEM.

Also, the first person who can figure out where Rebecca Renard comes from will be HEAVILY considered. She is a canon character, she does not have a name, she shows up briefly in one spot. Those are all the hints you get. Hell, this is probably the first comic she's ever been in. Dunno.

Special Thanks for my Patreon backers:
