Are You The Next Transformers Cover Artist?
Are You The Next Transformers Cover Artist?
ARE YOU THE NEXT TRANSFORMERS COVER ARTIST?
Well here's your chance.
The masterminds behind the “Transformers: Mosaic,” in partnership with Chris Ryall, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of IDW Publishing, are running a competition for all Transformers artists, which gives them the chance to be considered for providing a variant cover to an upcoming Transformers comic produced by IDW Publishing.
Excited yet? Good, you should be.
So how does it work?
Step 1: Email your full name to Next.Tf.Cover.Artist@gmail.com by the end of December, 2007.
Step 2: On the first of January 2008, you will be emailed the name of the Transformer you are to provide a "cover" for.
Step 3: You have until February first to submit your work.
Step 4: Once all entries are in, they will be divided into groups based on characters used.
Step 5: All entries will be displayed on the IDW forums ( http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewforum.php?f=2) and voting will commence. Voting will be open for 2 weeks.
Step 6: Once voting is complete, the top 3 artists from each group will be contacted and given another character to prepare a cover for and another month to complete.
Step 7: The second round of entries will be posted on IDW forums and voting will once again be carried out.
Step 8: Once voting on the second round is complete, the names and contact details of the top three artists will be given to Chris Ryall, who will work through the final process.
Things you need to know.
1. There is no guarantee that this will lead to paid work for IDW
2. All work should be submitted in line-art only, no colors allowed.
3. Be creative, designs can either be classic or your own redesign.
4. Voting can only be done by members of the IDW forum, and yes, you can vote for yourself.
So, if you think you've got what it takes, step up and prove it!

Is that the start or end of February for entries?
I have no artistic talent but I have a non fan friend who'd do great at this...

Pfffft, stick figures are the future. It's part of IDW's "Dreamwave did this, so we're going to do the total opposite!" strategy. Pat made'em bloated, IDW'll do them supermodel-style.
I expect my cheque in time for Christmas please, Ryall.

Cindersaur's cool, right?
Underrated, yes. Cool, no.
Oh, and apparently, this will only be G1 characters as well. I sent an e-mail and... You know what? Screw it. Here's the message...
--------------------------------
Jared,
Thanks very much for expressing interest in the competition. We'll send you an email on the first of January to let you know which character you have been assigned.
The competition will only be "G1" in IDW continuity.
p.s. if you re having trouble registering on the IDW forums, please send justin@idwpublishing.com an email.

I have been a Transformer Fan since I was 5 and I grew up watching Beast Wars. Will the whole competition just be set in "G1" universes or will it also be in others like Beast Wars or the Unicron Trilogy or even the movie? (That'll be a real test of artistic ability)

Yeah, G1 includes everything including Headmasters through Return of Convoy, the UK releases prior to G2... comic exclusive characters, cartoon exclusive characters.
In short, over 2000 characters to choose from. Somehow I just don't consider that all that limited.
I wasn't complaining actually, I was just wondering what was all going to be covered. Knowing my bad luck, I'll end up with Wheelie.
