Okay, everyone! We’ve reached the end of Day Three, and the results are in! With 52 people having put their answers in, and with 33 points in total, @RedBean wins the second round of the Character Compounding Contest! It was a close call, too, with JeyTheCount often taking first place several times during the contest and only coming up two points short in the end. Great match!!
Redbean, please DM me your choices for the next round’s two characters!
UPDATE: Redbean has chosen Karel and Karla as the two characters for the next contest! Consider this an early warning, so you guys can have one free extra week to prepare! 
…
Now then, let’s break down how the results finally settled.
Redbean: 33 Votes
JeyTheCount: 31 Votes
CanDy: 24 Votes
Rainlash: 18 Votes
EldritchAbomination: 15 Votes
Vilkalizer: 14 Votes
Sterling Glovner: 14 Votes
Mysterious Dancer: 14 Votes
JiroPaiPai: 13 Votes
Tsushima: 10 Votes
Pollen: 10 Votes
Wasdye: 6 Votes
Cavalry Units: 6 Votes
Final results:
On the left-hand side of the image, we can see the total votes everyone received, while on the right-hand side, we can see how those numbers contributed to the total of votes as a whole.
…
I tried something new with this contest where people had to vote for four contestants, no more, no less. I wanted to see how that would make the votes play out, and while that did cause more votes ‘overall’ to get added to the total per voter, I also noticed it created ‘tiers’ of votes, like how Redbean/Jey were in the first tier, then Candy/Rainlash, then Eldritch/Vilk/Sterling/Dancer/Jiro. In future contests, I’ll stick with “vote up to X” rules, instead of “vote exactly X times” rules.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the submissions we got! I thought CavalryUnits had a really great entry, but he tied for last, so it seems he faced some really stiff competition. Tsushima’s edit was the most subtle sprite here, but her(his?) modified Eirika still got ten votes, so clearly people liked it.
We ended up with two fantastic child characters, a super cute Lyn redesign by Jey, Eldritch gave us a fantastic Ephraim adult mug, and I also really liked Sterling’s full custom Ephraim too. Just great entries overall! Rainlash even gave us a cyberpunk Eirika, which I did NOT expect.
Here’s to hoping @RedBean picks two really cool characters for the next contest! I’ll be waiting a week to post the next one though, just so people have time to recharge. I also have a Mapping Repo I’m working on, so I’d like to post that soon.
See you all for the next one!
Edit: For funsies, I made a new headcanon of child, game-age, and adult Eirika/Ephraim.
Children: Redbean
Second Eirika: Tsushima
Second Ephraim: Flasuban
Bottom Eirika: JeyTheCount
Bottom Ephraim: EldritchAbomination

Redbean specified FE6 Karel and FE7 Karla; I’m going to make it FE6/7 Karel and FE7 Karla.
Speaking of which, I really hope to see an aged-up Karla, as if she had appeared in FE6. That would be sick.
I’m also hoping for Karla and Karel wearing matching Joker/Persona costumes

Hey I have a cool idea how to expand the contests. What about that you can pick characters that we haven’t seen (like the rest of the 8 Legends) or hypothetical characters (like children of some pairs)?
Like for example this Roy/Sue son I’ve made some time ago:

My overall goal is to get gba versions of many existing non-GBA characters made for the repo.
So far though, people have stuck entirely to GBA characters… so it hasn’t gone entirely the way I wanted. Maybe for round 4, we’ll see some changes.

I think this works best when we choose mugs for non-gba characters that are F2E, just for people who don’t really full custom. but idk.
I’ll return when there’s more to report.

“Eat yer damn potatoes, brat. If you don’t, gramma will give ya a scar three times worse than hers!”
Ugh I’ll post the new topic tomorrow then lol
i actually just saw “round two start” in the title and went like “oh ok let’s go then” and forgot that it was referring to the previous round
Ah, I’ll change that then.
you could just change the title to each new round and use one thread to avoid this
