CRAB inches ever closer to it's May 17th starting date! New entries still are being accepted!>What is this?CRAB is an OCT where artists submit their OCs and participate in a three-round tournament where they are pit against an opponent to fulfill a prompt's task over the other. There are three rounds and thus three prompts that an artist must fulfill featuring their OC facing off against another OC using the theme and prompt as their guideline for content.>How many people will be participating?There is a maximum threshold of 50 participants.>How long will this take?From May 17th to Aug 25th. There's breaks to stop people from burning out between rounds but generally worktime for each main round is 2 weeks. >Random art battles?CRAB has had animations, VNs, DOOM.WADs, and more submitted as entries in the past, that's where the 'random art' comes from.>How does this work?Main organization is done on Discord but it is not a requirement if you want to stay thread-only, however you do have to host your entries on Cubari or other image hosts to be voted on by other participants. Every voting round will have a provided list available with links to read every entry as easily as possible.
To join you have to draw your OC defeating Houndclops here, minimum of three pages to enter.
>>7939873We back in the lobby
If you don't have the time to participate but would still like to make an impact, why not consider s Spectator role instead?Spectators only need to submit a character reference sheet and a drawing of their character reacting to the tournament characters entries/content. This position comes with the benefit to vote for entries in the voting rounds, granted weighted less compared to a contestant's vote. This role requires less art than a general contestant but still does require art especially when casting votes so keep that in mind if you'd like to join as a Spectator!
Finally my last resource, the character reference sheet template. Good luck to all you current and potential contestants!
CRAB 5 is almost here folks
2nd for Junko!!
>>7939871We just had this shitass thread already >>7893494 and you losers only showed /ic/ that you offer nothing but autistic fucking drama. Who needs /crab/ when the oc threads is right here and art fight is a fraction of the effort and just around the corner.
>>7939901TrukeDrama/infighting has no place on this board anyways and should be gotten rid of immediately. These threads are even more worthless than /beg/, but at least the faggots in /beg/ improve.

THE TOURNAMENT BEGINS!It is May 17th! The main team rosters must be made! There will be 8 teams in total! But how will teams be made?>HEADLINERSEvery tournament there are HEADLINERS who are chosen by the community to lead the teams of the tournament season!>What does a Headliner do?Headliners lead their teams! They are the organizational heart and physical face, keeping the team on track and aware of the rules and timeframes of the tourney round themselves.Headliners should be making sure their teammates are on task, willing to offer advice or some help if needed! They also serve as the go-between for communicating with CRAB staff in the event of an incident involving their team!>How do I become a Headliner?-You must be a veteran Crab (one year experience in the tournament or more!)-You must be willing to coordinate with all your teammates, including ones that may be thread-only from any of the available sites CRAB is hosted on-You must volunteer your character you submitted, no volunteering other people!>Why is the position only available to veteran crabs?Veteran crabs already know how the tournament works and can help new participants more efficiently than a newcrab trying to learn as they go AND lead a team!Nominations are from May 17th to May 20th! Voting for Headliners are from May 21st to May 23rd!Team Reveal and final official character lineup/bench announcement will occur May 24th at 12:00pm PST!IN THE MEANTIME: Crabs! I'll need your character portraits! I can grab them myself but if you would like to draw a custom portrait for the official team and round announcements make an image that is 450 x 700px in dimensions that features your character's face! If you have a duo submitted then they both will need to be in the same portrait frame! This will be due May 23rd, and if there is no submitted character then I will default to an image of them in their reference sheet or their pit entry!

>>7943137What about as a spectator? Is that now closed too? I had to suddenly help some family move the past few days so I was late ;; But I'd love to just participate in the peanut gallery.

I'd be late, but I don't know if participants will really be playing much of a role so I'm hoping the deadline isn't too strict so I can whip out an entry in a couple days

>>7939877>>7944003wait i can't read its literally right there im crying sorry its like 1am lmao- though question still stands for entry deadline on spectators please!! OTL
>>7944003you can bench (ie waiting room to replace contestants who'd leave during the event) or spectate (watch and occasionally participate iirc in non-contestant events etc.)
>>7944006If this is the case, you'll be seeing a spectator entry from me sometime soon! It's crazy to see an OCT in 2026 and somehow I missed the previous ones here... I'm absolutely in and hope to participate proper next time!! >:) Drawfights, draw RP, and OCTs get my blood pumpin!!

>>7948784>>7948785>>7948786A reminder to you CRABs, the team drawing is *mandatory*. Top Bench contestants meanwhile are required to post a drawing of the characters of the Top Bench. Contestants who do not accomplish this by 12:00 pm tomorrow (PST) will be removed from their team and replaced with the first active bench character on the bench list.Bench participants who don't submit their bench characters group drawing will be pushed to the back of the bench from their original standing! You got a little less than 24 hours and it only needs to be one drawing so hope you get to it!

>>7952874>>Due at 12pm? I thought it'd be due at midnight (;x_x) I'll make a simple drawing for now so I don't lose my spot on the bench. I've been working on an animation and was gonna turn it in before midnight.
>>7953174I see now that you put 12pm in the original instructions >>7948784I am a blind earth worm who will one day be eaten by a bird.

>>7953867Are benchies supposed to draw each other doing the hore forcemen steeds or is it just us drawing our own character? Is it up to interpretation? I'm a bit confused how this goes down.
>>7953878The benchies just have to draw their own horse/horseman and the interpretation of how they fulfill the prompt "retrieve and return the horseman's steed' is up to them, but if they want they can include fellow benchies in their entry or even crab contestants, you have freedom for it.The 'assemble' one for the cat does need to show all the horsemen in theirs.

Alright CRAB, which matchups are you the most excited about? For me it's:>Natum vs Locket>Bethany vs Stub>Gary vs Janitor>Leon vs Edric>Foxglove vs Cooler
>>7953991Gary v JannyBethany v stubshae v simmentsleon v edricSkaterstick v junko
FAQ>How big is a 'large' comic page?Large comic pages are equivalent to three standard-sized comic pages. If you do the maximum 15 standard comic pages the content the large comic therefore should be equal to this work condensed into 5 large scrollable pages. The relative proportions should be considered between the two methods.>Does a cover count towards the total page count?No, as long as it functions as a cover and not a page that holds story content.>Can I draw just my character doing the task? Do I have to draw the setting or the opponent?You must engage with the prompt, the opponent, and the setting in your entry.>My prompt feels really vague, what am I supposed to do?Prompts can be fulfilled in any manner that involves the prompt subject with some more straightforward than others. There is no one 'correct' way to engage with a prompt."Can I collaborate with my opponent?"> Collaboration is allowed, you both may submit a continuous entry using your maximum pages or time to accomplish this (so instead of a maximum 15 pages for the entry, a collaboration may submit a maximum of 30 pages, or an animation that is 2:50 in length). Both artists must materially work on their own pages or sections in the collaboration for voting purposes (no one artist doing all the lineart and another the coloring, for example).>Do I have to draw my character winning or succeeding in the prompt over my opponent?Winning the prompt is not a requirement to win a round. If your character subverts or fails against their opponent they may still be able to win the round during voting, but this is dependent on the voters during the vote period.>Can I have help with making my entry?Material help such as another person doing the lineart or coloring is not allowed.>I'm on the Bench, how does this work compared to a standard contestant?Your prompt does not require a faceoff against another artist but to fulfill the conditions of your prompt. >15 pages?That's a maximum.
>>7953991Bosom vs Liddell (AWOOGAAA)
>>7953783As your fearless leader, I wholeheartedly approve. I think he'll look fetch in some of my six inch press-ons! :3Good luck with your Round 1, 17ling! You're gonna kick that Happy Camper's gigantic ass! If you need anything from me or the team, just holler!
>>7953983Junko-anon here.She indeed has pretty gnarly skills. I look forward to facing you, dude.
>Aria of the Soul (Agent Snow, Pier)https://file.garden/ag3Pqu4MvRy86koP/agent%20snow%20profile%20thing.PNGThis is a prologue to Agent Snow as a character, NOT a bench challenge. I'll immediately work on my bench comic right after this.
>>7954297Oh fuck wrong link https://mspfa.com/?s=70574&p=1
>>7953991Gary vs everyone
>>7954054Are they gonna lez out?
>>7939871I've done mine,Sorry for the delay. If you accept, I'd like to participate if there's still time.
>>7954382If you want to be a contestant you have to do the Houndclops fight (>>7939873) to get waitlisted. If you just want to shitpost and be a spectator draw your OC reacting to something happening in the tourney.
Sorry, I finished the character sheet in a rush like crazy, I'm going to make the comic right im hope im not boring you now.>>7954386
>>7954382Mr.Sunshine? Racist?HE DISHONORS THE HANMA NAME—
>>7954382Giant motivator for you all to stay on top of your work so this fucker doesn’t get off the waitlist y’all
Not an entry. Something I wanted to do before round 1 was announced.https://files.catbox.moe/bnrz3g.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/ewd6sv.mp4
>>7954863OMG TF2 <3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNgNBsCI4EA
>>7954382Would job to Rapist Ant
>>7954382Hahahahaha wtf is that background lmao
>>7954382Mrs. Sunshine? He's married?
Why is spectators even a thing, let alone so many? All they do is clutter and even disrupt proceedings of the tournament, plus, we already have so many crabs in the bench. If only the GM wasn't so stubborn and prioritised smooth running and fun instead of arbitrary bullshit...
>>7954382>zsa zsa zaturnnah but as a gay rapistkek based
>>7955710As a spectator of the spectators can I say you guys are a fucking hoot. I hope the benchies job in the eventual battle v spectators. I'll join the bench so those guys won't all die instantly.
Benchie Speccy drama is the most skub ass fight ever
>>7955710AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>7955710>why is spectators even a thing>why is spectatorsesl retard alert
>>7955802Americans are in the minority here
>>7955811Crazy, I wasn't aware that English was only primarily spoken by Americans
>>7955812It's their first language, the majority of this tournament IS ESL
>>7955802>>7955812Because it's the only language americaniggers speak. G is a German, would you rather do this shit in Germanoïdic languages? Fuck no of course. Half of america can't even make the difference between they're, there and their, I don't want SHIT from you Angloïds
>>7955837That's because English is the great unifying language of civilisation. You're welcome.
>>7955844t. brit
>>7955837You're a nigger for doing this name-dropping bullshit, Fenix. Not our fault we don't get easily rage baited like you do. Are retards like (You) going to do this everytime the thread reaches its limit?KysP.S. You'll never get off the bench, Agent Snow sucks ass.
>>7955710Non spectator here and all I can say is that it's only disruptive if you actually take their little jokes to heart. In the end it's just fun jokes and not intentional harm. You guys who complained about the spectators need to fucking grow up.
Which team is your favorite crab5 team?
>>7955940Rangers. Green is my favorite color and they seem humble.
>>7955928Stop being a dramawhore schizo you cunt.
>>7955932also non-spectator, i agreedon't be gay, not even in pride month
>>7955928>Getting this uppity over the retarded and outdated "don't namedrop" autism>Over GWhat's the point. Like, genuinely, what's the point?
>>7955932Based
>>7955940The monster girl team
>>7955812Or Australians
>>7955928>Fenixyou're a newfag. G was the OG, the GAMEMASTER. I am starting to think that we actually should've done it in German.>>7955944based and greenpilled>>7955940Rangers, I love me some feisty women that won't kill me for not listening well enough.
>>7954298This helps me understand your character a bit more. Thank u for posting :3
I was trying to finish my entry comic, but I think I missed the deadline. I'm gonna post it anyway, if that's cool, just to show what I made.Hope you guys like it.If I don't make it this year, I'll be back next year. with a dream, a mission, and many fat asses to appreciate. <3i promisse next year i will fuck every ass with so much love and tender <3sorry my english im retarded>>7955710why you are so gay?
>>7956297Hahahaha based anonAlso, you don't need to worry about being late, since crab 4 we can join late and still be able to participate thanks to the bench/replacement system. If someone drops you get their place, pretty useful right?Looking forward to see your character in action, laughed a lot with the description you gave
>>7956297Dude you can still join on the Bench, man, Dropouts occassionally happen, so you have a good chance to enter the tournament proper, so finish your pit entry and then you can join. The benchies also get challenges, so you got stuff to do while being part of the event.
>>7956314>>7956315No worries! Since I found out yesterday that I need to punch the green dude in the ass, I've been grinding out a roughly 20-page comic for the contest.I only started yesterday, though. Should be done in about three days, assuming work doesn't screw me over with overtime.
>>7956297You can join us in the benches
>>7954382The Lion sin of PRIDE ESCANOR??
>>7956343Awesome, would be great to see you join the event, man.
>>7956511Pride is my ass, you gay!Respect him, he eats the ass of weaklings and doesn't give his ass.You disgusting goomer.
>>7956630oh god is exacly i want <3i love you i will eat you ass with love
>>7956630I wasn't going to participate in the waiting list, but now I will, thank you.
