Frequently Asked Questions


What is Rogue Skies?

It is a Steampunk/Sky Pirate themed OCT run by  :iconliamous: and :iconwallabri:

What is an "OCT"?

OCT stands for "Original Character Tournament". Essentially people create characters based in a themed world set by the contest admin. They are then paired off against an opponent and must draw comics of  their character defeating their opponent.

The entries are then judged by a panel and the winners move on to the next round.

When/Where/How can I join?

Please read This journal for instructions on how to join Rogue Skies.

Can I help/Donate?

As it stands we are in need of prizes and donations will be greatly appreciated. Be they subscriptions or commissions.

Also, we do have an open call for judges at the moment. Please note this account for details.

Will you allow flash entries?
Unfortunately, we will not be accepting flash entries. In an attempt to keep the playing field as level and fair as possible we're limiting entries to comic pages only. The length/style is completely up to you.

What inspired this OCT?

What are the prizes?

First place will be a year subscription to Deviantart, a commission from :iconlone-momo(Full Body inked) or :iconzeurel: (Full color picture) or :iconauryn: (Full digital image)
Second Place will be a 6 month subscription to Deviantart and a commission from either :iconwallabri: or :iconliamous: or :iconkamethehermit: TheCrowchan or :iconauryn: (Sketch) Your choice!
Third & Fourth place will get a Rogue Skies t-shirt/tanktop and a commission from either :iconwallabri: or :iconliamous: or :iconkamethehermit: or :iconthecrowchan:

In order to qualify for a prize however, the final four contestants much complete their entries, an incomplete entry will result in forfeit of a prize. As will a withdrawal.

How will things be judged?
A rotating panel of judges will be consulted by the hosts. The results will then be tallied up and posted.

What will you be judging on?

Storytelling. How well you took the situation you were presented and not only incorporated your own character into it but your opponent's as well.

Just wondering something...

Will there been another round after this one is done... I mean after the final results are out in Feb...?

I'm still interested in joining :]
if there will be another "volume" lol
and if there is, is it okay if I used the same OCs but improved (e.i. more steampunked weapons)?

and oh... last thing are the official contestants allowed to use OCs that didn't get thru in their comics? I'd like to give permission to my friend to use my characters... :D
