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
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.

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!!!

I'm thinking about it.
I'm not nearly as talented as some of the TF bigwigs, and besides that I'm really bad with G1... too bad there's no Armada Spotlights planned down the line, lol.
Ah, what the hell. I have all of January off so maybe I could give it a shot...
Also, I'm wondering if the linework can be done in Photoshop, or does it have to be pencilled / inked in the traditional way?

I'm a little rusty, it's been too long since I picked up a pencil and went full on drawing, but I'm going to try. It's just a cover right? Why not, it's going to fun

Hmmm... I may just have to give this a shot... I am, by no means, a great artist, but it would definitely be a good opportunity to practice and see how I stack up.
