Hello everyone! Jonny Aleksey (creator of The J-Man Web Series & The Valve Web Series) here. I do art trade type events every so often in the forums, which you can see here:
Alternate Universe 2015
Monster Mash 2015 (for Halloween)
Secret Admirer 2016 (for Valentine's Day)
Character Cosplay 2016
As the title suggest, this is not the usual happy times the last events have been. This is a BATTLE ROYALE! Our volunteering Tapasticers have entered the ring in one-on-one matches. Since we have some decency, there are no clear winners (or deaths). Who ever wins is up to you.
Now, let's get on to the matches. No make sure to give each comic some love and check them out. They could use love after the beatings and the bandages, after all.
There may be some updates as we have so late comers
The J-Man (The J-Man Web Series) vs Dakota Holt (Neon Rabbit)
Gemini (Don't be a Hero) vs Uzuki Kasahara (Time Gate: Reaper)
Dakota Holt (Neon Rabbit) vs Kurumi Aoi (After Hours)
Eve (Arkian) vs Jun Kishi (Knights)
Po (Po's Adventure 1) vs Susan (Life of an Aspie) FULL COMIC!
Tarrow (The Cat, The Vine, and The Victory) vs Po (Po's Adventure 1) with after battle image!
Lev (Shades of Men) vs Eve (Arkian)
Jun Kishi (Knights) vs Wittorf (Requiem for a Grieving Hero)
Hilda (Outcast Kingdom) vs Lev (Shades of Men)
Kurumi Aoi (After Hours) vs Ben (Freak of Nature)
Ben (Freak of Nature) vs Ashe Kline (Abducted)
Ashe Kline (Abducted) vs Hilda (Outcast Kingdom) FULL FIGHT!
AND THE WINNER IS.........TAPASTIC!. For having so many great talented people on the site. We may have just shown our characters beating the crap out of each other, but this just shows close we all our, allowing our comics to interact in ways we never thought they could.
That's it for this event. Hope you guys had fun ether making them or looking at the pictures. Seeing as the Christmas season is coming soon (and a certain someone will be a part of a certain collab), I probably won't be doing another event until early next year. That being said, you can chose from the choices below as to which event is next. I have a lot of ideas this time, so it'll be interesting which on gets picked.
Battle Royale 2: I'm Gonna Take You for a Ride
I had a lot of fun with this event and I wouldn't be mad if we did a sequel so soon. This time, I'm thinking of having a theme where we design our images like a fighting game i.e. Marvel vs Capcom 2.
Setting Swap
This one's fairly simple. Like the other events you would get another's character to work with. This time, the two characters wouldn't interact. Instead they would be in a setting from your comic, doing whatever you want them to. They could be tourist, interact with other characters, or even fight villains if your comic has them. This will require you to draw settings, so keep that in mind, but don't discourage yourself. (I'll probably make a tutorial image to better illustrate what I mean)
Blind Date
This is a semi-sequel to my Valentine's Day card trade from earlier in the year. This time instead of cards, the two characters would be roped into a blind date. There's a lot of comedic possibilities with this one and would be a great way to celebrate the Month of Love.
Tapastic President's Day
This one is a little different from the previous events as this will include no comic characters. To honor the US President's Day (Feb 20) everyone will get a different President to draw. If we can get 45 people to participate we can have a full list of pics for the holiday (I apologies in advance for anyone who gets Donald Trump).
See you guys next time!
