Also You can begin developing your OCs as of now so you wouldn't have to rush when we officially open it !

Thanks!

You can still answer the survey below but in the mean time here is the updated FAQ

FAQ *Ask your questions and I'll add it here

So What is an OC Tournament?

You draw an illustration showing your character and your opponents character fighting it out!

Samples:

How do I join?
1.)You just need to prepare a reference sheet of your original character as a contest requirement~ No fixed format so be creative here are some samples! The only requirement is you must showcase the full front view of your character!



2.)Before the contest starts officially I'll ask you guys to sign up with a link of your reference sheets!~

How is the opponent decided?

Randomly paired to available participants

What is the Criteria?

Criteria will be
50% Story of the Art
50% Execution
+ 5% For the Bonus Character

What is this bonus?

If you add a CANON Naruto Character in your entry you get a bonus its because we are a naruto group and not really an OC group so I want us to give even just a small amount of attention to CANON details~

A Canon character can just be an extra like he or she watches from afar, They can also be dead bodies or injured.

Any amount of canon characters is allowed it doesn't affect the bonus because the bonus is so far set at 5% I'm still thinking if I should increase it or not.

Are summon animals allowed?

Yes

What is the setting?

Setting for a fight changes every round and I will set it it will be random and will be part of the contest announcement.

Will ninja rank matter?

No

A Genin can win against a jounin and vice versa. For the sake of simplicity I'll be basing JUdging on 50% Story of illustration and 50% Execution and probably the 5% Bonus for the canon characters

Who will be judging?

I will judge and we will also have the traditional send a note to vote thing






So As I have said in the previous contest I was brewing up some ideas for out next contest which will have an OC Tournament or Battle of the Original Naruto Fan Characters!

I need you guys to answer this survey so I can measure the interest though

1.) Are you interested in joining?  

2.) How long the deadline per battle? Is one week okay? (1 illustration only examples: )

3.) Pledge Prizes? (Example: I will donate points for the first place winner!)

4.) Willing to donate to the group? Currently we have 59 points as a budget!  
Donate Here for a feature for teh group moonlight-kitsune.deviantart.c…

5.) When do you want it to begin? What month?

6.) Read on below for my opinions and lets discuss the possibilities

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

moonlight-fox's (Managing Founder) personal insights about this project
Currently the Rules is

1.) Have Fun!

2.) Don't take it personal if your opponent does something bad to your OC its a battle and a battle field cannot be controlled!

3.) We will have the traditional send a note to vote but if there is a battle that don't get any votes I will judge it personally. I will even add comments ^_^

4.) Adding a Canon Naruto Character in Your Entry will earn you BONUS points. We are a Naruto group afterall.


So Why should you join OC Tournaments or long running competitions?
It instills discipline and time management. It boosts confidence and teaches resourcefulness. It teaches determination and perseverance. It improves you. It challenges you. It can bring out new things about you that you did not know about. You can use your works for your portfolio!
