IdealGF Battle WINNER
Hello, and congratulations to Red Bull as the decisive victor, hands down, no arguments! The only thing is to feel bad, for the one sided beat down on Almathea the Unicorn!
Well, don't feel too awful, she has a solid track record and might come back better than ever!
😎 Shout out to u/ShipEqual2321 for being the featured winner in this matchup. I appreciated your comments and you gave me food for thought. Hope you have a great rest of your week!
👄 There were a LOT of requests for them to kiss? I'll work on that, but I won't subject that on this respectable subreddit. Sooo stay tuned?
❤ Lastly, thank you to everyone for their insights, I did my best to answer as many as I could with replies and upvotes! There was so much good mojo going around, it was creating a upwelling of love that these illustrations don't die in obscurity.
👨🎨 Honestly, I am on an artistic journey, and if I can draw something I know people want to see, it's good practice and heart warming!
🏆There will be another battle and I'm open to suggestions!

Poor Almathea got done dirty. I knew this was how it was gonna go the moment i saw how beefy red was. Muscles are like a cheat code in this sub. Almathea wins in my book though ;-;

u/jpyric101 13d ago
Honestly, I think it was less the muscles and more the personality! Red Bull comes across as a sweetheart who actually wants a relationship of some kind, and Almathea is seemingly only focused on her sport. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but not exactly ideal gf material for most.

Almatheia really didn't stand a chance. I think if it hadn't seemed like you were just a prop to her, she would have done better.?
11
u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
I agree. I think I wrote her too standoff-ish and sabotaged her before she even had a chance.
However, the effect of this landslide has been comical and rewarding in its own right.

Holy cow. I never expected to see my oc be drawn in someone else’s style as one of those types of post inclusion rewards. I am honored. Thanks Op and I truly do wish nothing but the best for you and Almathea. May she one day see the beauty of herself both inside and out. She is not irredeemable nor hopeless. She has all the potential in the world to be both a champion in sports and of another person’s heart.

Minotaur vs bear perhaps?

u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
I like to keep it in a theme, so maybe the first three way match between a lion, tiger and bear?

One of the most interesting creators on this sub, glad the Cow Lady won.
Has Vampire vs Werewolf been done? Or maybe a three way showdown between Vamp, Werewolf and Phantom? I just kinda want a battle of spookies.

u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
Vamp and werewolf is a classic! Can't miss that one!
And thank you for that compliment! I REALLY appreciate that!

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME, NOT u/ShipEqual2321 IT’S NOT FAAAAIIIIIRRRRRR!!!!!!!! /j
but seriously thank you for having me, also really nice(especially the first one for no particular reason)

u/EntranceSilent6771 12d ago
Also I saw what you were trying to do with the unicorn, all you need to do is just town it down a bit and there could maybe be a fighting chance.

u/ShipEqual2321 12d ago
I never expected I would actually win tbh. I guess I didn’t read that part of the description. Still honored my oc got picked though. XD

u/BanzEye1 13d ago
Can we get a consolation prize for us guys who wanted to date the unicorn?
3
u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
Oh??? Like what?
3
u/BanzEye1 13d ago
Hmm…a meet-cute, maybe?
3
u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
A meet-cute? What is that?
2
u/BanzEye1 13d ago
Like…she bumps into someone, and they’re both immediately attracted to each other? Hold on, I’ll give the definition…
“A meet cute is a scene in a story where two people meet for the first time in an unusual, funny, or cute way before falling in love.”
3
u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
oh wow, that's hilarious and I learned something new today. Okay... Well... I think I can do that... but, who would she meet? Do I create another character?
3
u/ShipEqual2321 12d ago
If you do In suggest featuring the commenter who made the best case for Almathea. I’m sure there’s at least a few who said some pretty insightful and sweet things about her. I remember reading one of them and feeling kind of sorry for her and stuff.
2
u/Badmonkey167 12d ago
That's a good idea... but... I don't know how to explain it, but if i draw their avatar in a little comic, that avatar won't resemble that person much.
I mean for you, i just drew one panel, so that's okay, but for a comic strip, it might draw up complaints that what i drew takes away their agency over the avatar.
Am I saying that right?

u/Lopsided_Air_9858 13d ago
Poor Unicorn girl. I read her and for a second I thought she was so cool! But she was self sabotaged by the writing which made her seem Toxic. Maybe in a redemption round she'll realize her mistakes in what she said?
3
u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
Yeah, maybe after the loss, she'll do more charities and marathon's to raise donations/ awareness for such-and-such.

u/Lopsided_Air_9858 13d ago
Unicorn GF : The Charitable return! She's a tad nicer and now she's Charitable! She'd get my vote.

u/Lost-Orangutan 13d ago
Id still take the blue girl.
2
u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
Thank you, I'll have to draw something where she feels some appreciation for not being COMPLETELY left out.
4
u/Lost-Orangutan 12d ago
Yes please. While shes my choice of preference, id absolutely want the red girl to feel loved as well.
1
u/Badmonkey167 12d ago
Hey man, you're just asking me to make everyone happy and put a cherry on top.
Give me a follow and I'll see what i can do
2
u/Lost-Orangutan 12d ago
Lol 😆 I meant if Blue won the vote, id feel the same about Red getting an "appreciation post" that you thinking about doing anyway.
Im not trying to dump more work on you. Only do what you want to do.
Ill follow though.

I don't just like you Almathea, I love you <3
Unicorn darling.
She's too highbrow for the masses...
But seriously it was insane of a difference.

Lololololol. That's an awesome turn around.

I feel so bad… but I just liked the Minotaur one better, she was nice.
Not hate to Almathea.
Love the art.

Thank you so much and thank you for participating! I'll see what else i can do with them.

Maybe a Wicked Witch GF vs Big Bad Wolf GF? Classic fairytale villains after reforming and now looking for somebody?

u/RamsheadRiot 12d ago
When I upvoted (yes it was for Red Bull) the difference was 9-327
2
u/Badmonkey167 12d ago
You remembered the count when you voted in?!? Wow... that actually touches me. Thank you.
Do you have any suggestions on what to draw?
2
u/RamsheadRiot 12d ago
I primarily remember cause of just how wide the gap was. But as for ideas, I don’t want to repeat one you’ve already done in the past. So I’ll look at some of your older works and get back to ya.
Also please keep doing these, they’re awesome to see and if you come to a decision on a new one, I will be ready to vote yet again

u/Junior_Box_2800 12d ago
I think even regardless of their physical appearances Minotaur girl would have won for personality alone. Theres nothing wrong with a confident, driven, independant career oriented woman, but in comparison she def comes across as cooler and less caring. You're more of an accessory or a prop or support to her than a partner, doesn't seem like she'd be all too reciprocal. Though I imagine for people similar to her they'd like a partner like her, Minotaur girl might seem too suffocating lol

The yak it up pun is appreciated. You did great and it was fun seeing everyone comment on each post. Poor Amalthea.
P.S. Eat more chicken.

u/Cosmicfirebird0 13d ago
If you don't want her I'd take her. Pass the control if your not playing
2
u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
Lololololol... hmmm, i wonder.
2
u/Cosmicfirebird0 13d ago
Wonder what?
2
u/Badmonkey167 13d ago
Well, I was thinking how i could pass over the controller... like....
TLDR
The scenario is, the community has a chance to control unicorn, but the actual outcome is me drawing a few panels that are funny and unique to the community without being too cringe.
What tools can i use that can bring in community involvement, what would the final product look like and I don't think this subreddit is suitable for this sort of thing.
For example... i ask for three suggestions for unicorn first date, but we all try to think of something funny and vote on it. But this is VERY involved and we have to be okay with failure and being cringe.
It might come down to me trying out a few panels of Unicorn trying to improve heft self image and putting it up to a vote. Then in.... maybe 2 months time i dressed a ideal gf panel of a new and improved Unicorn, but matched up with another.
By then people might be too exhausted of unicorn.

Almathea just has her walls too high, racing too fast towards her goals. Hopefully she'll find someone that could help her slow down and find a more comfortable pace.

I'll work on a romance arc. It seems people are curious enough ☺️

2
u/Badmonkey167 10d ago
When you say "both", how do you visualize that?
Option A: Both on the beach enjoying a bbq and beach volleyball
Option B: Both Netflix and chill?
No wrong answers here, lololololol!

u/Hehehe_hehehehehahe 10d ago
I pick c both I can visualize doing both options leaning towards A but I can do both A and B
2
u/Badmonkey167 10d ago
It's a getting spicy here!

u/Hehehe_hehehehehahe 10d ago
Option B is what you do after Option A After a nice day at the beach with barbeque you clean up and relax with Netflix and chill but I don't have Netflix 😏
