The Ultimate Character Design Tournament - 2026
Welcome to the Ultimate Character Design Tournament of 2026! Just a few rules before we begin:
No nudity or gore allowed in the submitted image. Horror is allowed, but please let me know in the comments if the image should be put under a cut.
Please vote for characters based on their design, not just if you happen to like the character more or not
You can submit as many characters as you like, but if I notice someone spamming characters or submissions from the same franchise, I reserve the right to remove them. The hard character limit is 256
The ban for most characters has been lifted, as well!
Submissions will stay open for 30 days!
The tournament will be single-elimination
Here is the submission form! E-mails are not collected.
Please also check the spreadsheet before submitting to see if your character has already been added! You are welcome to submit them again, but if you have anything you'd like to add to the submission, it's easier for me if you leave a comment on the spreadsheet! This time, I will also be creating individual character posts to introduce the character, and they'll be linked and referred back to during the tournament. If you wait until those go up, you are welcome to comment or reblog on those posts and I will add any additional images + propaganda (please keep in mind the tumblr image limit, as well!)
Thank you to everyone who participates this year!
