For this first round, all the arenas will have some connection to music.

Our contestants are Stickman the...stickman, and 42 the mimicing alien.

Arena:

Epic Battlefield

Pull out your sepia tones and write up that amazing score because you're going to have the most epic battle ever!

Musical Theme:

Opera and whatever style best fits those two links above

Arena Rules:

-Melee or Medieval-style range weapons only!
-You don't have to sing, but try and have something musically-related accompany your actions.

Standard Rules (new rules in bold. Please read):

- No one-shot-kills.
- Remember to respect your opponent's pages (that means no rewriting history).
- 7 days from NOW to get your intro pages in.
- Your opponent should not be any (major) part of your intro pages.
- 7 days to post each turn, timed from the posting of the previous turn.
- MAX of 2 pages per turn, apart from the first intro.
- Each contestant is able to miss one deadline. If the deadline is missed without providing a reasonable turnaround time, your character will be replaced with a "happy clone" until your next turn. Upon a second violation, you will be disqualified.
- If a character violates an arena rule or a standard rule, the fight will be interrupted until the violation is corrected by either an "Eye of Isis" or a "Lawyerbird" depending on the type of violation. Repeated offenses will result in disqualification.

Stickman will start it off!

Have fun and good luck.

How many pages am I allowed for the intro?

Epic battle sounds epic.

Traditionally, it's two pages but if you feel you can put out more in the seven day timeframe, be my guest. Keep in mind that this would only be for the round one intro. Everything following is two pages max.

Awesome! (Got to love epic.) Looking forward to seeing your intro pages, Product Placement!

Me too :3

Boy. You guys are giving me stage fright.

All right. I'm anticipating 3 pages. First page is done and I'm halfway through the second.

I figure that the whole work will be ready by tomorrow.

Sweet. I better get my act together then!

All right. Here are the first two pages. Third one will be coming up as soon as I'm done with it.

Oh, and just so you guys know, Stickman is talking to me. There is no fourth wall in my world. :Þ

Intro page 1.


Intro page 2.

Here we go. Third page is done.



Stickman is on the field.

...whether he likes it or not.

Clearly you did your research there :p

Alejkhan, it's your turn.

Amazing pages PP. I love how you did the battlefield.

HAHAH! That's awesome!!! Oh man. Thanks for reminding me of that crazy battle landscape from those youtube videos. I'll have to incorporate them, too. Ok, I'll get to drawing then... 7 days....cool.

Thanks guys. I'll try to make my next pages less of a copy paste artwork.

tis a good three pages PP!

Thanks roku. I'm currently trying to figure out how I'm going to draw out 42. Of course, I'll know more once I see my opponents intro pages.

1 of 3.......




2 of 3.......



3 of 3......!




Tag, you're it.

Clock Mermaid returns!

Damn... I'm being one upped in the art department, so hard...

Thanks for the compliment, but I wouldn't worry about that sort of thing, PP. First, it's the fighting that counts. Second, I'll get really lazy with my art soon enough. Besides, I think you have me beat with hilarity. ^_^

Oh crap, I remember that mermaid. And that fight. And that fight that became another fight. Ah, good times...

Also, very nice pages, the both of you. This is gonna be a good one.

Of course it's going to be a good one. It's Epic. Product Placement, it's back in your court.

Well that didn't take too long.

I was kinda hoping that you'd be a slower artist since I'm gonna be a bit busy for the next couple of days.

I should be able to work on my round 1 pages in the middle of the week.

PP, sorry about that! I wanted to get them done quickly because I have some busy times up ahead myself. I'll take it more leisurely next time around.

Holy crap in a hat those are some nice pages.

Truly worthy of the epic battlefield thing, you two. Truly worthy. =^_^=

I'm looking forward to this matchup!

Just to remind you guys that I'm not dead yet. It's been a super busy week for me but I finally have time for myself to work on those pages (which is good since tomorrow is the deadline date for me). I'm gonna be cutting this one a bit close but I'm currently half way through the first page. While it may be stick figure art that I'm drawing up, I'm gonna put some work into it instead of slapping it together in 5 minutes like last time.

Can't wait :D

Product Placement: Well, I certainly wouldn't penalize you for lateness. We all know life has its way of preventing us from drawing our comics in a timely manner. ^_^ And you don't need to make any excuses about stick art. Any type of art can be made cheaply and lazily. It's not unique to the stick art genre, and therefore, it's just as capable of being really amazing! I would not have known you "threw together" your intro comic in 5 minutes! I think it's really cool, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what clever situation you think up next.
