Welcome to Starset Tournaments! To cut right to the chase I'm going to be posting a few songs match ups every week until we figure out exactly what Starset song is Tumblr's favorite! I randomized the match ups and there are some difficult ones on the list. Very excited to see not only how many people on Tumblr really enjoy Starset, but also what their favorite songs are.
This is my first tournament blog! I don't know what I'm doing, but I sure am going to try. A little bit about me- I've been listening to Starset since at least 2017 or 2018, and they've been in my top 2 of Spotify wrapped for as long as I have used Spotify. I'm a huge fan, but haven't read the books. My main blog is @oopsie0503 where I post art. Sometimes. Rarely. Love Starset and hope this poll stuff will be a lot of fun.
Polls will be under the tag #starset tournament, there will be 4 rounds including the finals, and each will be tagged accordingly. All polls will also have youtube links to the songs competing. If I have any commentary of my own it'll be under #starset polls commentary, and feel free to send asks. They'll be tagged with any relevant information and #starset polls asks.
Might do a losers bracket! TBD! Hope this goes well and everyone has some fun!
I'm a queer artist, strictly anti-AI, and I put my best into every piece. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM or ping me in this thread, but you can also reach me on my other socials (I'm the most active here, on tumblr, and on discord).

Wills & Wonts
IÂ WILLÂ draw dragons (flight rising or otherwise), gijinkas, human(oid)s, anthros and furries. I will also do custom designs for these things. I can do banners, buttons, headers, dividers, pixel art, minimally animated gifs, simple drawings, scenes, and reference sheets. I'll also draw apparel and skins, and I'll design custom skins/accents.
IÂ WONTÂ draw complicated robots, mechs, or armor simply because I'm not confident in my abilities in this area and I want to deliver quality artwork to my commissioners. If you're not sure a robotic design is too complicated, feel free to shoot me a PM.
If your type of character isn't listed or you're just not sure, ask away!
FAQ
How long will my commission take?
Commissions will be completed in the order I receive them, and they can take anywhere from one week to one month. If you haven't received a message letting you know I'm starting on your commission or an initial sketch and you're first in the queue, please reach out. If it's been a month since I confirmed I would be starting your commission, please reach out.
What payment method do you use?
I use PayPal, and Ko-Fi works too.
Do I pay upfront or after the commission is completed?
Half of the payment will be required upfront, and the rest when the artwork is finished. You can choose to pay in full upfront if you'd like.
Why do you take half before you start and the rest when you finish?
This method protects both myself and my commissioner. If the commissioner does not respond after the commission is completed, I can assure that I have been somewhat compensated for my time. The commissioner can also be reassured that I will not get all of the payment until the work is completed.
How would you like to be credited?
A link to this post or my blog.
I don't want you to post my commission anywhere. Is that okay?
Yep, just let me know when you're telling me what you'd like. I'm also incredibly forgetful, so it's not a bad idea to remind me when I've finished.
How many commissions will you take at once?
Four for now, but I may take more or less dependent on size and my stress level.
Your examples are shaded in different styles! How will you know what style I want?
If a specific example piece catches your eye, let me know while you're ordering your commission and I'll shade in that specific style. I'll also probably ask when you add shading to your order.
What do you mean by 'outfit layers?'
For references, I can design the body and clothes on different layers. This is customizable- the more clothing layers you have, the more customization options you'll have for that character's reference sheet. Commissions with many layers will also receive the .kra file, so they can hide and show layers as they see fit.
What's the difference between an Outfit & Clothing Layer?
An outfit layer is multiple articles of clothing on a separate layer from the base, but the clothing pieces that it consists of can't be mixed and matched. Clothing layers are accessories or clothes all on their own layers, so you can mix and match those.
Terms of Service
By commissioning me, you agree to the following:
Do not erase my signature or watermark, and do not claim my work as your own.
Do not trace my work.
Absolutely do NOT feed my work into ANY Generative AI program.
When using art or assets made by me in dragon bios or forum signatures, please credit me. You may also use the art as profile pictures off site, but credit is still requested.
I will not start a commission without at least half of the payment.
You will receive a watermarked version of the art until the final half of the transaction is complete. Once you've paid in full you will receive an unwatermarked image along with an imgur or filegarden link, including all versions of the artwork.
You will receive updates during the drawing process and most heavily during the sketching process. You may ask that I change, remove, or add things at any time to a reasonable degree.
Refunds must be requested before the final sketch is approved and the line art process begins. If you decide to terminate the commission after the lining process has begun you will not be refunded, but you will be given the finished sketch and whatever line art is present. If you paid upfront in full, you will receive a half refund.
The final piece will be posted on my Tumblr and this thread unless requested otherwise.
Banners, buttons, and dividers will be watermarked if I post them.
Commissioned buttons, banners, and dividers can only be used by the commissioner UNLESS they request to have the asset available for free use.
The commissioner may use the buttons, banners, and dividers wherever and however they'd like (ie. in dragon bios, forum sigs, tumblr posts, etc).
I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesnât feel like a website youâd find them on, so to keep them away:
Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasnât clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed
seeing all this hope for the new starset album and all i feel is dread due to the fucking ai usage in their god damn mvs. what happened to paying actual artists. im never NOT going to feel disappointed about this. even in the starset reddit it's split between people who don't care about ai and people who very much so do and of course now people are bitching about everyone being so negative. we wouldn't be negative if yall would listen to our concerns about 1. environmental issues caused by ai and 2. AI KILLS ARTISTS. Which you would think Dustin would be against considering he is an artist, but. whatever.
I burned cds of the first 4 albums because if you ask me, im fine only having those 4 and MNQN. even if i love dark things, silos (the song), and brave new world, I'd rather pretend my favorite artist stopped making music.
this doesn't come from a "I don't believe you" place but from a "I don't know how to sniff out ai" place. What are the telltale signs that the video is AI?
It may look animated but the general inconsistency in the frames, the blurry and âsmearedâ look, and with the history that the band now has makes it very hard to believe that itâs not ai. Plus checking the description links no artists or credits any âmakersâ of the mv. If it were animated id hope they would credit a studio or a specific person, which leads me to think itâs ai. it makes me so frustrated as an artist that really admired and looked up to the artistry of starset
