Tapastic Battle Royale Art Trade Sign-ups

[Greg_Dickson]

Wow...I can see some awesome potential matches here, that can be grouped with like-minded characters, like:

Superhero-type: Gemini, Dakota, J-Man (We'd need another superhero-type to even things out).
Beast-type: Po, Eve (totally an epic David vs. Goliath-type setup in this case)
Sword-Type: Jun, Tarow
Mage/Spell/Force-Type: Wittorf, Uzuki
Schoolgirl-type: Kurumi, Susan
And now we just need a Gritty, Gun-toting Old Man-type to go with Lev

Chances are, this will all be randomized, but it is fun to think about. I think the most fun, interesting kinds of matches are the ones where characters are as similar as possible.

Deffinately gonna join this, I'll bring in my submission later this evening

[aspiderjonny]

Yes. Every event is random, but it's fun to fantasize.

Name: Zac Garmon/Dream Coat Guy
Comic: Freak of Nature
Character: Freak of Nature/Ben

Info: Ben contains a powerful source of blue energy called Exorcism, a power used to ward off evil and heal others, and appears in the form of an ethereal, blue aura that engulfs the user, and can be used as a source of power or ammunition as Ben has discovered. Including his Exorcism, Ben has a high amount of durability, though whether or not this is the exorcism in action or not is unknown, and because he is a cyborg he has inhuman strength and speed. For weapons, Ben has a pair of crimson magnums that he powers with exorcism to fire at his opponents in rounds. However, while Ben has quite a huge amount of potential, his abilities come short currently thanks to his oblivious nature and tendency not to think, leading him to rush in without fully thinking or forming a strategy.

Ben's fitghting style is similar to that of Jonathan Joestar from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, preferring to brawl rather than use his magnums,

Hello my name is Mike, and I would like to throw Asher from my series Abducted into the ring.

NAME: Asher Kline
AGE: 13
HEIGHT: 5'2"

STRENGTHS:
Asher is the son of a retired lightweight boxing champion. His father began teaching him boxing at an early age, but Asher only recently started to implement what he learned. Since he's so small, his fighting revolves around evasion tactics and counter punches. He practically dodges and pokes at his opponents with jabs until he spots and opening.
He recently discovered that he is an Esper and has telekinetic powers. This allows him to move and lift incredibly heavy objects with his mind. He can also create a telekinetic shield strong enough to withstand a hit from a train and can be deployed fast enough to stop automatic weapon fire.

WEAKNESSES:
Asher is incredibly timid and will freeze up when terrified. His esper abilities also take a toll on his body, causing nose bleeds and extreme overuse will cause him to pass out completely.
At this point in the story he doesn't have complete control over his telekinesis nor does he know the full extent of his abilities. This can be a problem because he doesn't know how long he can use his powers before losing consciousness.

Would it be possible to tell us who we're paired with earlier? Between inktober and my comic, I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it by the deadline =/

[aspiderjonny]

I think it would be easier for me if I just extended the deadline. I didn't realize how hectic October would be. How much more time do you think you guys would need?

Name: William J Bowles
Comic: Outcast Kingdom
Character: Hilda

Hilda has enhanced strength and durability (not to Superman levels or anything. She can't lift a car over her head, but she could probably flip it over.) She also has armor plates attached to her that provide some additional protection. She is experienced in hand-to-hand combat and the use of a variety of weapons, but is not disciplined or formally trained. Headstrong and short tempered.

[williamjbowles]

Astute observation. Too bad it's random : )
If it weren't, I'd change my participant to my superhero character Paragon in order to even the numbers.

[aspiderjonny]

Update:
Due to October being a busy month for everyone, with Halloween and Inktober, the deadline has been pushed back two weeks to November 11th. Hopefully this should give you guys more time to finish them.

Also, NYCC is this weekend I am running the SVA table so you may not get you picks until next Monday.

[Jrej]

Glad you're pushing this a little bit. It will give me some extra time to polish the artwork.

Two days before the end of sign up! Can't wait to see my opponent revealed!

[aspiderjonny]

Okay. I sent out everyone's fighters. Sorry for the delay. New York Comic Con was this weekend and it required my full attention to help run the SVA table. Everyone should have someone to fight. If you didn't get your's, or you have questions, ask me in this post. But please, keep your chosen characters secret. Want to keep the surprise.

Like I said, the deadline is now Nov 11th. The gallery should be up a couple of days after that, give some time for the stragglers. While we'll miss Halloween, it will be in time for Thanksgiving, which is a very odd holiday to have everyone beating the shit out of each other.

Looking forward to your pics, and good fighting!

[aran150]

Aaaaah! I forgot about this! I'll try get it done 0-0

[El_Psy_Congroo]

@aran150 Same! I just finished mine tonight. Its really just one scene. Should I post it here?

[aspiderjonny]

Don't stress yourself. I didn't realize how time consuming October would be for everyone including myself. If enough people don't make it in time I might add another week. Next time, no trades in October

[ChipGod]

Fuck it, just found this and i have 3 days. Lets do this shit.

Just have him with a bow or something

[aspiderjonny]

I appreciate that you have shown some interest in the event but the way it works is that someone has another's character to work with. Everyone's slot go filled in some time ago when the deadline was met so there's currently no one left to use. Now, I try to do these art trades every two or three months so there will be more for you to join in the future, but the Battle Trade is sadly closed.

I hope this doesn't discourage you. If you still have interest, please keep an eye open for when I do this sort of thing again, probably shortly after the holiday season. When the gallery for this trade goes up there will be a section where anyone can vote for the next trade, if that info helps.

Sorry for the long message but this is also going out to everyone who sees this post. Good luck in your Tapastic ventures.

[ChipGod]

I totally read that wrong, I'm sorry

[aspiderjonny]

It's ok. Simple mistake.

[aran150]

Hnnnngggyeah! Overdrive Aran! I'm gonna be away for the weekend, so I need to get this done tonight or bust! Hell, I need to start this AND get it done! But it's OK, I have my rum, I can do anything.
