:rulez:

 

1)The sketch must contain a character that at one point was associated with Image comics.

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 Image 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. This not being a team, NO Multi-Sketch books here.

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 8 May for a Poll to be created soon to follow. Good Luck to all.

Man, I really like that Sayger - The Maxx. The colors are awesome and only thing would make it better is if it was on an Image blank.

 

Haha... I chose the Detective Blank because of Sam Kieth's work on Batman in that series and Batman is my favorite character. :cool:

That is an awesome sketch. Ultramanking that is a good question. I guess it depends on how the board views a licensed character, but underneath the rules all it says is the character at one time was associated with Image. I love Ken Washio aka Ken the Eagle. I think since he appeared in the Top Cow comic series and this competition is suppose to be about the art your nomination should be allowed. Just my 2 cents.

I agree with this. Licensed characters should count too.
