Hello everyone and welcome to the Character Compounding Contest also known as the CCC.
I’m your host, you may refer to me as Eden.
For those unfamiliar with its concept, let me explain what it is:
The CCC is an art contest where the participants create portraits for Fire Emblem characters to expand the FE repository, a resource that compiles Fire Emblem-related assets, including portraits, battle animations, music amongst others to create Fire Emblem content or rom-hacking in general.
The artists may represent the featured characters we’re used to in many ways, whether they’ll be their classic attire or re-designs including but not limited to de-ageing or ageing the characters, giving them new outfits or attributes, genderbending them, cosplaying them, etc… as long as they are recognizable and keep defining features of said characters.
This contest isn’t targeted towards a specific audience. Despite being a contest, it is very casual and everyone is encouraged to partake in this contest, no matter their skill level and experience, the main goal is to have fun and create portraits for the Community to use and enjoy!
Here are the rules:
THE RULES
-
All submissions to this contest will be F2E! This contest involves expanding the resources available for the Portrait Repository, so this is mandatory.
-
Artists may create custom battle animations, music, map sprites, or any form of art related to the featured characters, however, only posts with a portrait will be eligible for the vote.
-
Artists may create an alternate outfit/design/etc for one or multiple characters, if they wish.
-
Artists may submit multiple designs, if they wish. They will all count toward their one submission vote. (Voters will vote on all of the works they created at once)
-
No pre-existing artwork! The point of this contest is to expand the repository. It would be unfair to compete against artwork that may have had additional weeks or months of editing work put into it.
-
Eye/mouth frames are preferable, but optional. They aren’t necessary, but it would be awesome if they would be included!
-
Characters must either be from the main Fire Emblem titles or one of the Fire Emblem spinoffs, such as Heroes.
-
All characters must be sprited in GBA format!
(Hackbox size is not necessary)
(Halfbodies/fullbodies are authorized)
(Please try to keep the colour count at or below 16, that would be great) -
Submissions must at least somewhat resemble the original character!
-
First and second place each pick at least one character for the next round, following a theme set by the first-place winner.
Then the community gets to vote on the last character(s) they also want to see!
A few additional informations regarding the schedule of the contest:
- The artists may submit their work until one month after each round is announced.
- Then, the following week, everyone can vote for their favorite submissions.
- The voting period is then followed by a break of a week before a new round starts, meaning a round lasts one month and two weeks in total, but the deadline will be reiterated further down on the post.
