CHALLENGE 14: IN THE MIX
This is Project CBRunway. You're either in or you're out. Who will be CBR’s next big comic character designer?
Good morning, designers. Welcome back to the runway.
atoningunifex, as the winner of the last challenge you got to pick the theme of this challege from: a) In the Mix, b) Bandwagon or c) Dick.
Amalgamation or amalgam, when used to refer to a fictional character or place, refers to one that was created by combining, or is perceived to be a combination, of several other previously existing characters or locations. To emphasize the origin of their creations, authors or artists may use amalgamated names.
For your fourteenth and semi-final challenge you must create an original amalgamation of a Marvel and a DC costumed superhero. You may not use a duo that was used in a previous intercompany crossover (see Amalgam Characters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalgam_Comics#Amalgam_characters)). Additionally, your character should have an amalgamated civilian and code names.
You will be judged on creativity and originality and how well you blend the two characters while still making them recognizable in your visual design.
In addition to the required written description explaining material, functionality and design inspiration, you may include a brief statement of why you chose the characters you did. No histories or descriptions of powers or abilities will be accepted.
Submission Requirements
Artwork may be done in any medium but must be in color. As in real comic work, using reference is fine but swiping is frowned upon.
Artwork may be no larger than 550-pixels wide and 800-pixels long.
Entries must be inserted into your PM, using such services as Photobucket.com or imageShack.com. If you are unable to use such a service you may e-mail (mattbib@comcast.net) your entry and we will host the image for you for the duration of the competition.
All submissions should include a written description of the costume, explaining, to the best of your ability, material, functionality, design inspiration, etc. Some rounds may have additional written requirements.
Write-ups are to be no longer than a single PM, which is limited to 5,000 characters, including your image address and all formatting and image tags.You have only five days, through Midnight PDT of Monday, June 9, to Private Message (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=342) (PM) me your entry for this week’s challenge. For your own benefit, be sure to select “Request a read receipt for this message” in the Additional Options section before sending. Failure to complete a challenge will result in immediate elimination from Project CBRunway. There will be no extensions or exceptions.
