Update

I’m gonna be putting the bracket on a hiatus for a bit. Not only because this whole tumblr and midjourny drama has put a bad taste in my mouth, but I also have uni work I need to focus and catch up on.

Thank you all for the fun I’ve had so far with this bracket and I hope to see you soon. 💜🖤💚

hello fellow comic art fans.

i am the goblin who runs this here blog. otherwise known as @jondoe297

i am extremely bummed that when i do come out and adress the followers of this blog directly it will be with this news. well. here goes:

Comic Art Showcase will indefinitely stop sharing our favorite artists' works until further notice due to the deal tumblr's owner is making with A.I. companies to sell data,enabling the theft of the works of the platform's users to scrape to train their A.I.

and here is a good article about what's going on

while for the over 5 years(!!) now that i have run this page and shared the love of comic art i am so passionate about,through ups and downs,i have kept this page strictly for doing so. not presenting any topics or ideas or even showing my own personality or linking my personal blog(even though i have been flirting with the idea recently. well i guess now is as good a time as any) i feel that if nothing else i have to use this specific platform i have,as it is,to address this topic as it is intrinsic and intertwined with this page's theme or activity. and i will not have it be an open buffet for these greedy corporations to scrape for data to feed the A.I. with which they seek to replace the very artists that i love and admire! even though it may be too late as we don't really know how long they've been doing this. well the inevitable came. and if this page is not deleted it will at least not be posted on for the time being. while we figure out what to do next.

in the meantime we can and have to all do what we can to fight for artists' and creatives' rights. if nothing else by not being a part of the theft and exploitation of them an their work. please do not use any generative A.I. programs for images or text. they work by scraping from databases of artists' and creatives' works without any permission,credit or compensation.

for now we can at least 'opt out' of having our content be shared with the A.I. companies in the settings.

keep in mind this seems to be only available on the web version and not on the app for now!

go to your blog settings from the corner here

then go to 'blog settings'

then go to visibility. and turn ON the 'prevent third-party sharing' option. make sure to turn it ON not off.

and you have to do this for each blog and sideblog individually so make sure to do that!

and artists make sure to use Nightshade and Glaze to protect your artwork and images!!!!

here's a link to Nightshade

here's a link to Glaze

the best combination is to use Nightshade first then Glaze on your images.

Glaze creates a protective layer on the image to prevent A.I. from copying it. while Nightshade poisons the A.I. sotfware.

stay safe friends an i will see you around❤

IMMORTAL X MORTAL SHIP TOURNAMENT

(Yes this blog was formerly battle-couple-battle and sorry I couldn’t do the battle polycule battle. Have this instead)

IS ONE HALF OF YOUR SHIP GOING TO DIE WAY BEFORE THE OTHER? SUBMIT THEM!!

Be nice and don’t send hate

The definition of immortal is loose just like one person in the ship needs a lifespan much longer than the other

Polyam ships are absolutely welcome look at my pfp

They're robomen who can turn into a Deinonychus and Velveteen Rat specifically, who fight in ways only a thespian sword wielding homosexual and a pansexual and deeply cynical Bugs Bunny Rat can. Yeah, not technically MONSTERS but... c'mon.

Whatever continuity these 2 are essentially Gomez and Morticia just a slightly more realistic way since they can be jealous and fight. They adore each other, respect each other, are hot together, the Captain is protective of his wife and her son he sees as his treating her better than men she knew before him, they had a love at first sight and since then have co-led the haunted house together like a power couple. A vampire and a skeleton-like ghost who are both fuckable in-universe, jackpot.

Hekarab

Ok Scarab may technically not be a monster but a very old human, to the point he looks very dry and literally white, plus he does take a big scarab form at some point. And Heka is literally is staff who is sentient for some unspecific reason, this is like shipping Jafar with his snake staff. But GOODNESS do they scream old married couple, bickering, sassing each other, him not hesitating to betray anyone but her, she being very loyal despite her sarcasm, caring and being concerned for each other, him including her in his master plan, and being so casual like she just asking him to get milk on the way while he goes for a rampage... heck they even share a kiss!

Polymechs

Polymechs

So they are all aliens to each other. They are also like canon found family, and are immortal. I love this ship because the nine of them deserve happiness and some love because they are doomed to have heartache in their lives. They spend so much time together and will die alone and while they are together I think they should kiss.

EktAyuk

Skeksis are a violent evil species who all fight each other and backstab. Not SkekEkt and SkekAyuk. They hang out, gossip, discuss their tastes and health, and SkekAyuk held a welcome home banquet just for SkekEkt. There is a reason why the fandom has shipped them and seen them as the Gomez and Morticia of TDC for years.

Grieving goat monster that locked herself away from the world and constantly relives her trauma of her kids dying everytime another human falls and goes through the door to the rest of the underground x depressed skeleton monster that relives everything over and over and over again by either a maniacal flower or a human child take comfort from each other by telling stupid puns to each other between a door to just get away from all the pain

Once again they are adorable. Two little nerds who also happen to be ancient entities that predate the concept of time. They canonically go to cons together, cosplaying as Zoe’s favorite ship and are also canonically bi4bi <3

Taranza/Sectonia

Taranza/Sectonia

At first, the two were inseparable. Taranza gave Sectonia a mirror, so she could see how lovely she looked. But the mirror was cursed, slowly consuming her mind and corrupting her into a vain and cold tyrant, enslaving the flower people and setting her sights beyond the dreamstalk. Taranza tried to help. He ran interference so he could stop dreamland’s hero from thwarting her plans…but he made a mistake, and she cast him aside. Sectonia would have felt bad…but it seems she was no longer there. The curse of the mirror had claimed her completely. Taranza helped Kirby and Dedede defeat her…but he was left without his friend. It’s a loss that still sticks with him. He can summon Sectonia’s spirit to help him in battle, but just as quickly as she appears, she’s gone again, a reminder of the tragedy that has befallen these two.

Propaganda from @edgy-rozes

“Propaganda for Godzilla and Mothra: It's two radioactive creatures, one is a warning of nuclear warfare and the other is a deity of light and reincarnation, what more could you ask for in a monster x monster ship?”

Congratulations, Hob/Delloso for making it through to round 3!

Hob/Delloso

Hob/Delloso

Starts out as a star-crossed, Beauty-and-the-Beast-style romance between a very animalistic, awkwardly formal, military man—well, goblin (Captain Hob) and a very elfen-esque Master of Ceremonies (Rue), who’s busy with the job of hosting the huge, politically important party they just put together, and is also technically a member of another royal court. SPOILERS: Turns out Rue is an owlbear under their glamour, aka just as massive and animalistic as Hob. Both of them really love the other’s body specifically because it looks like theirs rather than fitting in with the traditional fey standards of beauty, so they’re lowkey serving t4t-vibes, despite existing in a setting where there are zero social expectations around gender. Technically they’d be a monster x monster pairing no matter what, as they’re both fey, but the fact that they both stick out even among the extreme visual variety of the fey people, and very much feel the weight of that exclusion, really makes them a monster x monster pairing in spirit too.

It was a close call at first, but we now have a winner between the two wlw undertale ships…

Congratulations, Alphyne, for making it through to round 3!

Alphyne

Alphyne

Undyne is the head of the royal guard who is a really extreme, fight first ask questions later type of person and Alphys is the royal scientist that in trying to help the underground did some really horrific shit but is really awkward and a massive wet cat of a women. Basically imagine the sort of ship of badass woman plus a really pathetic guy but instead of being a guy it’s a bisexual disaster lady that did some really unethical experiments in a attempt to help people Their first meeting is Undyne, possibly unknowingly stopping Alphys from committing suicide from the guilt of what she done, and giving her something to hold onto everyday and like, Undyne sees her as one of the people to protect and be strong for and I’m just!!!! The two of them just work so well together despite being in different sorts of worlds
