That's right! A brand new contest has made its debut! Introducing:
First of all, I would like to thank Skytteflickan88 for giving me this idea for a new contest, based on this thread she started.
This contest is called "Coverama" because the focus will be on creating a cover design of some sort each round. We won't just be doing comic covers either, but also DVD covers, magazine covers, book covers, CD covers and anything else we might come up with.
Here is how it is going to work (for this round anyway):
- Based on a theme, participants will design a comic cover, submit it to me, and then members will vote on the cover they like the most. A lot like Bannerama.
Theme: Favorite Whedonverse Character Spotlights! Keeping things simple for our first challenge. Basically you pick your favorite Whedonverse character and design a comic cover based around them. Try to come up with a unique name for your comic (Not just "SPIKE"), and other than that, I am leaving the rest of the cover up to you.
Rules:
- Covers may only feature one character, but it is O.K. if the screen cap or comic panel/picture you want to use has other characters in it.
- There must be a clear focus on who the comic is about though.
- If you don't want to use screen caps or comic art, original/hand drawn art is allowed!
- There is no size requirement for the covers, since the voting thread will have thumbnails that you will click on to see the actual size of each cover. A good starting point would be 8.5 x 11 inches if you are not sure what size to start out with.
- Covers MUST HAVE a title, issue number (like #1), writer/artist and a barcode (CLICK HERE for a barcode you may use).
- Only one submission per member.
Also, if you want to download and use the BUFFY and ANGEL fonts for your covers, click HERE for the Buffy font, and HERE for the Angel font.
Enjoy! And since this is a new contest, I am expecting lots of questions and feedback, so be sure and ask a question if you have it! Chances are someone else is wondering the same thing. Remember to read the rules carefully!
