Do what I do, make G1 characters into Muscle Cars.
Yes, I capitalize Muscle Cars. It's THAT awesome.

I'm in, I e-mailed my name...

To answer a few questions;

Anyone can enter, regardless where you live.

And no, you can not use something you prepared earlier, only new material from the start of the project.

No hints as to which characters you'll be given, just know that we went with a diverse range.

I may enter I doubt it will win but eh who Knows(Do you?). Also I don't know if I want to advertise my name out to the Public.

This sounds like a lot of fun!!!!

I entered. Can't wait to see who i get to draw

Man, we know who's gonna win now. spoil it why don't ya.

Good God, am I tempted! I know I can get up there with their guys, I just take FOREVER to do it.

I'd love to have a go, but I'm not up to standard. I'l just wait and see what everyone else comes up with.

come on that was uncalled for lol

Seriously guys this is a great opportunity. Don't think twice just enter and do your best. Anyone can be the next transfomers cover artist!!!

First Mosaics... now this... it's just too much for a tf fan to bear lol

Yes I am!

I really want to do this, but there are a few unresolved issues in my mind.

When sending the e-mail, what do we put in the subject bar?

And since it's a no-colour drawing allowed, are we still allowed to put shadows? Because my entire drawing style is based on shadows.

Uhmmm...I'll probably enter, I just hope I get a Beast Wars character, although there's probably a very slim chance of that happening.

Heh, I'm posting a lot in this topic
Do you think qualified (can you get a qualification?) cover artists will be entering? People from other companies who want to try & get into IDW??? Or is this really just a fan thing?

I'm so interested in this Can't wait to show of my ideas!

I'm still debating, I know I wont win, but it would still be fun. Two more things I just thunk of, how big do they want this drawing? And what if you get given a lame charicter to draw?

They wouldn't make a Spotlight of a lame character so we're safe in that respect. They should only make a comic if they think it'll do well, don't expect a Spotlight: Seaspray anytime soon

I'd like to see Spotlight: Wheelie actually XD

As for size I'd say A4 size on paper, scanned in & made small enough to work on in Photoshop or something, yet big enough to keep detail.

I'd like to think I could do well, but I know it won't even be considered. That's not stopping me though, yea I may not win the competition but It's a chance to get work into IDW knowing it'll be looked at. Besides, we have a month to work on it, I'm sure I can do & redo it enough times to get it looking good, I may have a chance

That's what I was afraid of!!

A4 I can do, hell, I will give it a go. Can't hurt right?

Most likely the required resolution is 300 dpi, so that optimum results can be achieved when the artwork is printed out, but I could be wrong. But what if you could make a really lame character look kickass? What about a badass Wheelie?

Yay!!! The more the merrier I say ^^
I think we should start a practice thread in the kitbash forum, showing off practice artwork, coming up with ideas for possible characters, & discussing the conventions of Spotlight covers for those of us who have never tried a comic cover before. Once I've done a few practices this evening (possibly Powerglide, Wheelie & Seaspray ) I'll think about posting a topic if anyone agrees.

I hope we get to draw someone like Prime, or Wheely and Rodimus.

Prime cos I love drawing him and the other two, ,let's say I love drawing busted Robots.

Yessssssssssss! I kick ass, I really do!

Not really, I'm ****, but rubbish is the new good I hear, so I'll give it a go.

Count me in.

I emailed my name in. The chance to do a cover? And you got a month to come up with the piece? Oh heck yeah baby.

I'm guessing it'll be an obscure character like Guzzle or Hosehead.

I consider myself a decent artist, but not nearly good enough!

I've entered, and the TF2 Skywarp picture was something that I just drew up in 5 minutes! Right now, I am making a cover for Megatron, not that I was e-mailed already saying that was who I was to draw, but it would be awesome if I was picked to do Megatron! It is awesome!!!
