THE BEAST LEGION ‘ACTION CAPTURE’ Contest

Greetings All you Amazing Deviants,

Today is a very special day for me. Today is the day of the release of Issue 4 of my self published manga, ‘The Beast Legion’ which you can read over at  [link] with all the previous issues. Over the past months, I’ve had the pleasure of having some Amazing artists here on DA do exclusive covers & pin-ups for each these issues which are exclusive to the Print version which can be found at  Indyplanet.com


  

Starting issue 4 ,however, the comic will be updated on Monday’s & Fridays.

To celebrate this double sized issue, I’ve decided to hold a ‘BEAST LEGION ACTION CAPTURE’ contest. I do plan on releasing an art book with fan works sometime early in 2011 with work selected from this contest.


THE CONTEST
Pick any two characters from the Beast Legion mythos so far & draw them in any action pose that you desire.  You can have a maximum of 4 characters in a picture.

Judging
Judging will be based on
1)Originality
2)Concept & Composition
3)Technical skill
4)Incorporation of key elements

I want to stress on the last criteria. Key elements include important parts of each character such as each of their Beast transfer armors. Yes you can modify the look a bitbut those are key elements of the entire manga. Secondly,, I suggest you read the manga & I'm sure you'll get a better idea of the characters personalities & powers.

. Remember, Judging will be based on the quality not just the number of characters in the pic. Unanimous Decision of the judges will be final and irrevocable.

Judges:


Also there will be 25 semifinalist works that will be featured in an artbook which will be released in April, 2011 .

So what are you waiting for, Grab your pencils & tablets, And uunleash the Beast Within!
