The hour has arrived, my friends, to see who will be participating in the round-robin head-to-head Friday Night Fights matchups. What you are about to witness is an all-against-all cage match pitting 21 versions of a “Space-Based Robin Hood” character based on the Sheriff of Nottingham. The top 16 vote-getters as of next Thursday at midnight will be slotted into a bracket in the traditional 16-vs-1, 15-vs-2 tournament fashion, with the creator who got the most votes being seeded first, the second-most votes seeded second, etc.
But first, we have to pick the best sixteen character images out of the twenty-one submitted, and that’s where you — yes, you there! — come in.
I have put each character alongside his or her or its individual story (if the creator provided one) so you can find out a little more about what’s behind the concept. I highly encourage you to read those as they are a) entertaining and b) key to understanding what the creator did in some cases.
After that you’ll find a poll showing all twenty-one entries; vote for up to sixteen characters you like the most, and you can click on an image to see it at a larger size.
Because this version of Friday Night Fights required a cohesive vision unifying the characters in each set, I am providing the creator’s online name with each entry. Last time it was all anonymous, but that just doesn’t make sense in this format.
Good luck to everyone, and I hope the rest of you have fun seeing what they’ve come up with!
