*wynnter89's official contest journal link: wynnter89.deviantart.com/journal/27506178


Background

A while back, *wynnter89 wrote a journal musing whether drawings of female characters are esthetically more pleasing than male characters, and whether female characters are just plain better to draw.

Anyhow, that journal and discussion evolved from a comparison of illustrations of male/female character counterparts, to an idea for this contest. Read on to find out how to enter!


Aim

After recently discussing male and female forms we have devised an interesting competition. You will have to choose an actual or traditional male character and convert them, their clothes, their style (maybe even their sidekicks/friends/parents) into a female form.

Batman and Robin suddenly become Batwoman and Roberta
KAPOW - KAZOOK - SLAP


When

Start date - 1st October 2009
Cutoff date - 25th January 2010

We will be allowing for one extra day unofficially for the time zone difference - but don't bank on that, have your entries in before then!


Format

We are very open to any media you want to use so there are no restrictions.


Submission

Please have your entry submitted by the date specified above in one of the following ways:

:bulletblue: By Note
Send a note to *wynnter89 or =Oshouki with the subject "comp entry", and with a link to your dA deviation.

:bulletblue: By Comment
Leave a comment at the bottom of this journal with a link to your dA deviation.

Since this is a dA contest, we require your entry to be submitted as a dA deviation.


Scoring

Entries will be rated and scored on the following 5 attributes:

:bulletblue: Uniqueness /10
try not to do people that have already been done like superman / supergirl

:bulletblue: Costume Design/Relevance /10
the costume will be an integral part of the piece, nudity is allowed but some indication to who they are will be necessary

:bulletblue: Transfer Effect to Female /10
how well you have made the character look like the original but female

:bulletblue: Artistic Execution /10
how well you have rendered it -- if drawn, how skillfully you drew it, if photography/cosplay, how well you have put together the costume and how well you photographed it, basically, skill and effort

:bulletblue: Overall Design /10

This score will then be averaged out to a final mark out of 10.


Judging

After we have determined the top entries through scoring them, they will be announced in a journal and placed in a public poll. The control will then be turned over to the public to judge the final rankings.


Some Idea Suggestions

Cyclops
Magneto
Skeleton Jack
Santa Claus
Splinter (TMNT)
Samurai Jack
or any popular character you can think of.


Prizes

This list will evolve over the comp's duration. Donations are very welcome as we wish this competition to be big.

:bulletblue: 1st place:
3 months sub from *wynnter89
3 months sub from =Oshouki
1 month sub from =soldierofsolace
8 x 10 print from =Gismonda999

:bulletblue: 2nd place:
1 month sub from *wynnter89
1 month sub from =Oshouki


Extra Stuff

We will publish each entry in our journals, and after the cut off date, your final scores.

Both *wynnter89 and I will also submit female versions of known characters during the comp, but only as examples.


Entries So Far




Good luck and have fun every one!

Hey Daniel, long time no see/talk, how are you? ^^

My friend is really interested in this, and I am absolutely no help, but she was wondering how does a person/partners get a table at FanExpo?
