Greetings folks! Time to get your pencils sharpened...

October's winner was Reeves - Congratulations Sir, a wonderful if slightly disturbing entry... Wink

Reeves - A Playbot Entry

So as winner, Reeves picks November's theme, and his previous piece should help as inspiration... well, if you're that way inclined. Embarassed

This Month's Theme: Take any advertisement's picture and redraw it for Transformers; DVD covers, posters, CD covers...

You get the idea? The iconic pic for the film Platoon where the army guy is on his knees screaming up at
the heavens - Draw springer doing that! Or the Terminator 2 DVD cover of Schwarzenegger with half human face half cyborg - howabout Pretender Grimlock's half human face half inner robot face?

So, as ever, here's the small print:

1. Art should be designed as a "pin-up."
2. Completed pieces must be returned to idwtf.drawing.comp@gmail.com no later then 22:00 GMT on 30th of November, 2009.
3. Final submitted pieces must be sized to 850 X 1300 pixels, with a resolution of 72 Dpi, and in RGB mode. (scanner permitting)
4. Images must be in .jpg format
5. I cannot Stress This Enough: Files are to have the following naming convention; Entrant name - Character Name (I.E. Richter - Dynobots.jpg)
6. You can add text to the piece.
7. Finished pieces are to be inked, with shading allowed.
8. Pictures ARE NOT to be displayed anywhere until they have been posted on the IDW forums. After this, you are free to pimp your work anywhere you like.
9. Coloured images are not to be displayed until voting is over.
10. Collaborations are permitted, but only for the "inking" process. Any assistance must be identified.
11. All emails to idwtf.drawing.comp@gmail.com will receive a reply confirmation within 24 hours. If you have not heard back from me after 36 hours, please re-send the entry. I would rather receive it 40 times than miss it!
12 *NEW RULE* In case of a tie at the end of the voting period, I will cast the deciding vote.
13. *NEWER RULE* Names of entrants will not be displayed till after voting has closed, so please don't spoil the vote by saying 'ooh that's mine' - We'll cover up any signatures on the artwork too I guess, if everyone's ok with that too.

How are you going to hide the entrants' names that are in the actual file names when people click on the image?

I bet there's multiple entries of a Grimlock/Jurassic Park "silhouette" pic.

I'd be more interested if the format wasn't 'comic style' only. Crying or Very sad

Alas, Rule #7 and #9 of the drawing comp would have DQ'd that Broadside pic! Wink

I'll still be around to critique and vote though, so no worries.
