You guys know the drill, choose your favorite concept(s)! Entry 1 - A confrontation between Gunn and Angel is the theme. So I see Angel standing in the center facing the reader. Behind and slightly above Angel is Gunn. Pointed towards both of them is a really big gun. Perhaps some law enforcement agent or just a random thug is out to get one of them, or both? Entry 2 - I would like to see Gunn with his vampire face ready to bite Angels neck Angel should have a stake in one hand ready to stick Gunn. I'd like to see the black panther on looking in background. Entry 3 - In one of Hell-A’s war-torn alleys, Angel and Gunn face-off. Angel has vampface Gunn thrown down on the ground, holding him down with his left hand while bringing a sharply pointed stake towards Gunn’s heart. Gunn holds a cross in his gloved right hand, shoving it into Angel’s face to no effect. Back in the shadows of the darkened alley, glowing vamp eyes emerge as Gunn’s crew watch the battle. Entry 4 - The game of strategy and war (CHESS) is my concept for this cover and all the characters are displayed as pieces on the board. There are 3 pieces left stood up, angel the King in white and around him knocked over on the board in white are Cordy the queen, Doyle the bishop and maybe Groo or Fred or who else has died as a rook or a knight. Close to Angel is Gunn the black king and next to him is Wesley the pawn in black. There is a hand of a senior partner poised over a chessboard about to move Wesley, but in what direction? Which piece will topple next??? As Kate paraphrases “In the greater scheme, or the bigger picture, nothing we do matters”. Entry 5 - Gunn and Angel: We know neither will be satisfied until they try to beat each other’s brains out. They have been in one hell of a drawn out, no holds barred, fight. Gunn has the upper hand with his vampire strength, but Angel has centuries of battle-experience on his side. However, the fight is taking its toll – both are bruised and bleeding. We are at a critical point in the fight. Angel is down on one knee and only his hold on his battle axe is keeping him upright; his head turned up with his eyes on Gunn, determination in his eyes. Gunn is barely able to stand, but standing he is, with his weapon raised ready to give a killing blow. What happens next….well, we will need to read on to find out. Entry 6 - Angel and Gunn are in a bar, possibly Caritas, having a few drinks and having an all-around good time together. Since the ‘very detailed’ description for this issue hints at the fact that the mood of Angel and Gunn’s encounter is quite the contrary, the irony is quite fitting. Entry 7 - My description for the piece is Angel looks out toward Hell as Gunn approaches from the Shadows Vamped up. Entry 8 - I want a cover that would look good on any medieval church wall. Angel is lying down, blood oozing from wounds on his back. He has no shirt on and on his back we can see the broken of remains of two wings. Around Angel lay feathers. Above him stands Gunn, holding a broken of wing in one hand and in the other a long whip that flies through the air, ready to strike Angel again, who's struggling to get up on his feet. Entry 9 - The scene takes place in the alley where season 5 ended and it is raining as it was then. Angel is on his knees looking up as Gunn stands over Angel with a sword poised to decapitate him. Both are visibly beaten and bloody and it is obvious this is the final moment of an epic battle. Entry 10 - Angel vs. Gunn. Reminiscent of those fighter games like Street Fighter and Mortal Combat. There will be power bars on the top, the two will be facing each other on the HelLA platform in a fighting stance, and maybe even energy bars below the power bars. Maybe even have the power bars low and blood spattered in the middle ground. That would be awesome. Entry 11 - Angel and Gunn are facing each other in a snowy yet still hellish alley of LA. Gunn has a stake in his heart and is starting to dust (his hands, maybe the back of his head, is dusting) and Angel looks at Gunn, sad and horrified. This cover is more about what's going through Angel's head during the upcoming confrontation than anything that will be in the comic. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Deadline is approaching! Vote now!

I like the chess idea too, but it seems as if there are too many things happening in it. I think IDW said to keep it simpler... I also like the one with Gunn and Angel just hanging out and catching up (lol). Also, mine rocks, but I can't say which it its yet :-D

Um, I know I'm kind of picky, but I'd like to be able to choose the one I submitted all proper like, before the deadline and with verifying info.
Which isn't up there.

I pulled this from the entry thread.
"Voting for entries for Issue 11 will take place from May 27th through [glow=red,2,300]June 1st[/glow]. On June 2nd, the top three voted entries will be sent to IDW where one will be chosen to be to drawn by a professional comic artist to be used as the cover art for Issue 11. IDW reserves the right to the final decision based on various approval factors."
I like the 2 votes poll better as well.

Now that would be a nice present if my concept was sent in

Seriously, TWO votes? A bunch of these seemed to similar to me. It was hard just for me to choose one.

:vampirebite: Heh Heh Love the idea of the chess game, and that they pieces are being manipulated by "Someone" "Else." Particularly as this was the theme of the entire show. Wolfram and Hart vs the Powers that Be. The players are pawns, but who is manipulating whom?
Anyhow, the 4b cover concept has got my vote for #11.
Entry 4 - The game of strategy and war (CHESS) is my concept for this cover and all the characters are displayed as pieces on the board. There are 3 pieces left stood up, angel the King in white and around him knocked over on the board in white are Cordy the queen, Doyle the bishop and maybe Groo or Fred or who else has died as a rook or a knight. Close to Angel is Gunn the black king and next to him is Wesley the pawn in black. There is a hand of a senior partner poised over a chessboard about to move Wesley, but in what direction?

It's too bad that the poll wasn't invisible as well - I think the votes get swayed by seeing the poll status.
