I hope I'm not the only one who prefers how oxventures used to be edited. The editing where you see the character art interacts with each other and stock photos. I genuinely enjoy seeing it a lot, and not seeing it with the more recent episodes upsets me. It almost seems like character art is getting phased out, and that kinda scares me.

It started with oitd when they just had the neutral character art next to a square of the person playing their pc. Then, with their "previously on" segments, they give us more of the characters, showing us different expressions and clearer references for drawing them. However, it also feels very limited. I know seeing the ox crew in their costumes is very fun, especially with Andy's dramatic acting as Edvard but I think seeing the character art dragged around the screen like how oxventures used to be edited would be just as fun.

Then, with oxventure deadlands, the character art rarely makes an appearance. It's so divorced from the show that a casual viewer might not have ever seen it. I think that sucks because character art really helps people visualize the characters. Especially when the characters look different than the actual person playing them, like with Nate and Johnny, Delacy and Luke, and Garnet and Jane, to name a few. (There isn't much difference with Garnet and Jane, but Garnet's hair is red, not black like Jane's.). In fact, you could argue you have to go out of your way to find the oxventure deadlands character art. You go to an oxventure (Halloween? I believe) special video to actually see the oxventure deadlands character art.

I do love seeing the ox crew in their costumes and them interacting with each other irl as their characters, but there's an enjoyment I get from watching the art of the characters interact. To me, the character art is the characters and the players dressing up as their characters is just a supplement to help get the players get into the mindset of their characters and to help the audience understand who is playing who.

If it's not obvious, I very much dislike the less and less appearances and uses of the character art. I get it's probably quicker to edit and get the videos up without doing all the editing of the characters. I also get that it's cheaper to pay for one group shot of all your characters than five characters with multiple different expressions. It's just that I feel like the decrease of character art and the silly little editing of the characters in the videos takes away stuff from the experience. I think a big part of that for me is the silly whimsy of the editing Andy did with the character art. It really helps bring the story to life for me. To be honest, it does a better job than soley watching real life people sit at a table and talk.

#oxventure #outside xbox #outside xtra #oxboxtra #also the lack of the stock photos for any oitd and/or oxventure deadlands npc #I can't make any text posts using them bc of that #I hope this doesn't make people think I dislike oxventure or oxboxtra or anything like that.#I still love them #this is just my personal opinion #I still feel like this doesn't do how I feel justice #but it's what I got

Artist Rules and Information

Key artist dates:

Artist submissions open: October 3, 2023

Artist submissions close: November 6, 2023

Claims: TBD (around November 15)

Early submission deadline: February 1, 2024

Final deadline: February 11, 2024

This challenge doesn't have traditional signups for artists. Instead, anyone wanting to participate as an artist must submit a finished piece by November 6, 2023. All finished pieces will be put up for claims about a week later.

Art can be digital or traditional, but it should be complete and polished. You can use your best judgment as to what that means, because different kinds of art demand different things. A beautiful, detailed sketch may be finished as is, or sketch lines could indicate a piece still needs cleanup. If there is a problem, you'll be notified as soon as possible.

The most important rules:

No dialogue. Sound effects and other text are fine, but characters speaking is not.

You must create a preview/teaser image/crop of your piece of no less than 200x200px and no more than 300x300px for claims. If your art is sexually explicit or graphically violent, your preview must be SFW.

No sexual or sexualized depictions of minors.

Do not post the work publicly before the story is posted.

When your art is done, send it and your preview to [email protected], with the subject "Oxventure Reverse Bang". Please include the following:

Tumblr and/or AO3 username

Series or one-shot (D&D, Blades in the Dark, Deadlands)

Do you want to opt out of explicit fic?

Are you under 18?

At claims, authors will be presented with all the work produced for the challenge on a ranked choice ballot, and the mod will make selections based on it. You will not be told who voted for you or how they ranked you, only the artist who received your art. Authors will only see your preview at claims, without your name attached.

Minors will only be matched with writers willing to write G or T rated work. If you do not want NSFW fic about your piece, you must tell the mod at submission. If you don't notify the mod before claims, your author is not required to create a SFW fic.

All artists will be claimed before any duplication happens. If you submit more than one piece of art and art outnumbers the authors, you may be asked to choose one.

Your author may want to talk to you about your piece and your ideas, or they may not! Remember that the author has the final approval on the words and does not have to make something you like.

You may excerpt relevant passages from the story about your art, but you cannot repost the story without the author's permission.

These are guidelines, not rules, but they can be useful as a place to start:

Avoid drawing canon events as is. This can box the writer in and give them fewer possibilities.

Get weird if you want to be weird. Go AU. Crossovers should stay between Oxventure series, but feel free to drop them in a blender.

Don't restrict yourself to creating one traditional image of a full scene. You might instead illustrate a detail, like a tattoo, a hand, a wanted poster, etc. On the other hand, you can also draw multiple vignettes or a wordless comic.

The right writer will be into your piece. Someone is desperate to write Deadlands in space. Someone dearly wants to construct a whole story around a picture of someone holding a letter. Do what you want and the writer will come.

Other than that, have a good time! If you read this far, here's the discord invite.
