Piotr Rasputin more commonly known as Colossus has always been a bigger than life character created by the writing of Len Wein and the talented art ofDave Cockrum. With that his presence alone should command some amazing covers from some amazing talent.

 

Thus new newest cover challenge and the question that is always asked. Who has the:

 

Best of the Best Colossus.

:rulez:

 

1) the sketch must contain a Colossus. i.e. Juggernaut/Colossus combo, Acolyte Colossus, Phoenix Colossus, etc.

2) CGC SS Only. Any sketches currently en route to or presently at CGC for CGC SS are also acceptable.

3) If you know of a sketch that you think is the best nominate it. One nomination per owner. Owner with multiple sketches nominated must pick only one sketch to be voted on.

4) When nominating, please include artist name and owner's board name. Any sketch w/o all this info will not be eligible. Also having the CGC label visible does not negate this; as not all labels are readable. Recommend way to present the sketch is:

 

Owner: Joe Cool

Artist: Cooler Joe

 

Followed by photo.

 

5) Round 1: All nominated Sketches will be voted on in a Poll. Then the Top 2 will face off. The winner will be declared the Best of the Best Colossus CGC SS Sketch!

6) Tie Breaks: In the event of a tie for the second spot in the Finals, a 48 hour sudden death round between the tied sketches will be implemented. In the event of a tie at the end of the finals, a 24 hour sudden death poll will be implemented.

7) One Month after being declared the winner, A sketch may challenge for the title. The new challenger(s) must be nominated by 3 board members. In the event of multiple challengers wanting to take on the champ, they will first compete against each other in a battle royal. The winner of the battle royal will then get a title shot at the existing champ.

8) What makes the best sketch is up to the voter: Best Art, Artists, Grade …

9) In Team categories only, collages/multibook murals composing are single overall sketch are now eligible to compete.

10) Reigning champions can compete in any category for which they are eligible.

11) The winner decides the next category. Their cover will also represent the CGC Best of the Best as the Facebook Profile picture until the next category is complete.

a) A category can be something simple as Best of the Best %character% or %artist%; or something as complex as Best of the Best Blue Pants (character must be wearing blue pants lol ).

b) It can be as narrow or broad as the winner wants. Let your imagination run wild.

c) If it is so narrow that only one book can compete, the winner must pick a new category. If no new category can be picked, a new one will be selected based on a public poll.

 

The Winner gets Bragging Rights and will decide the next category!

 

Remember this is for fun and to showcase your art. So lets keep it that way and check the drama at the door.

 

All Challengers need to be in by 1 March for a Poll to be created soon to follow. Good Luck to all.

Nice Sayger sketch, we're off to a good start!

 

P.S. You don't actually have to second and third sketches for a new category like this, that's only required for challengers to established champions. :gossip:

Gotcha... I thought if they didn't get the necessary support, they wouldn't even be considered contenders... that way would be tougher, but better, right?
