Well it took 7 months but I finally have enough coins to start the 1 million coin create a comic event! My last event, the 50k Coin Event, was a failure in terms of participation, but I do appreciate those who participated @Lucazu & @PotooGryphon (For her fan-art). I'm hoping this event has a bigger turn out.
THIS EVENT IS A GO BIG OR GO HOME EVENT, ONE WINNER WILL GET THE EQUIVALENT OF A 1 MILLION COIN TIP (OR $708.33 AFTER TAPAS FEES). THE ONLY WAY THIS CRITERIA WILL CHANGE IS IF AN OUTSIDE SOURCE OPTS TO OFFER OTHER PRIZES (OR OTHERWISE STATED).
Just to prove I do in-fact have enough coinage to pay out this massive prize, here ya go (Note all of these coins were earned through the advertisements on the app):
EDIT: A screen shot of 1 mil coins has been added to replace the original 994K coins
Create a Comic Event
In this event you are tasked with creating a comic using characters from my series Marked, although that doesn't mean you can't use characters from your own comic as a crossover.
The comic you create can be based around anything (Action, Love, Comedy, etc.) EXCEPT for the following:
Restrictions
BL (Boy Love)
GL (Girl Love)
Eroticism (Nope sorry you can't make anything erotic, sexual, or anything of that sort - This does not mean you can't have a character shirtless or in a swimsuit, it just means they be can't doing anything sexual [This does NOT bar kissing/romance])
Nudity (Does not include comedic nudity, underwear permitted)
Religion or Anti-Religion (The series it'self is based around biblical events but to keep drama out of it I'm placing a ban on religious subjects)
If want to do something but FEEL like it could be part of these exceptions it is better to ask than hope it won't be disregarded.
Entry Requirements
To enter this event you MUST have tipping enabled on your account as it will be the method of giving out the prize
I will NOT be requiring you to subscribe to my comic if you do not want to, I understand why some creators do that, but I want people to subscribe if they genuinely enjoy the comic and not because they want to enter a contest.
HOWEVER I am going to require that you post a comment on a single page of my comic that is relevant to the page/page order, AND a comment on this forum post saying you want to enter and adding your Tapas name. This is so that I can keep track of who is participating and be able to check your tip availability (Because that is important).
Prize
1,000,000 (1 Milllion) Coin Tip
Characters
Any of the characters from the comic are usable. I would make an image list showing the characters, like last time, but I'd rather not have a large image list right here
Here's a quick list of select character silhouettes, Although some of the character refs are outdated in terms of visual look (Such as Sako and the orange haired demon)
I had hoped three other characters could be introduced for use, but it'll be months before their debut.
Judging
The judging of this event will be based on a many number of things:
-
Art - While art is important, this contest is more leaning towards story. (But sometimes art speaks volumes for story )
-
Story - Story is an important factor in judging, if you can grab at heart strings or have a really good laugh, or do whatever you do for a great story you're on your way to awesome.
-
Length - Due to the contest being aimed more towards story, length can either help or hinder you, sometimes you can get more across with simplicity, but at the same time simplicity can hurt your story, choose wisely.
-
Quality - Quality of art and story are important, if your story is compellingly beautiful, hilarious, or action packed and your art doesn't portray your amazing story in the way you planned it to, it can be hard to get the message across.
Example Comic:
Art is important to the creation of comics and color can add to your comics visual beauty, but you don't have to be super extremely fancy and add a whole bunch of beautiful colors and gorgeous landscapes to win (I mean it does help in judgement, bonus points if you're that dedicated) but what I'm hoping for, for this event, is story driven more then art driven. I know you comic artists all have your own comics to work on and have due dates for when it needs to get done so if you can't get your art up to par then try not to sweat it too bad.
I finished this mini comic in about a day.
Judging
For fairness sake and better judgment I would like if @michaelson and the @STAFF could be judges, and @PotooGryphon if she wants to.
I don't expect anyone to be a judge, it would just be nice for the sake of differing opinions. Of course final judgement and prize distribution would go through me.
Due Date
The current due date is November 18 at 11:59 PM EST
Due date may change to a later date depending on whether or not participants be need more time. (And/or outside interference whether good or bad)
Edit: I forgot Sako and Moto don't actually have belly buttons when I was making the mini comic... Just a pet peeve I had with myself, it's fixed now.
