Idea for a new contest, quite simply, really. At the start of a month, an RP character is named. People have a month to submit illustrations of the character, and then the character owner rates all illustrations on a scale of 1-10, and the person gains that much times 5 in EP.
Illustrations can be anything that would represent the character in a visual medium, from sprites to vector graphics to hand drawn art to plushies to sculpture to cosplay. It's all fair game.
The judge changes every month, since each month it'd be a new character going through the line. Right now, the first three I'd like to see, in order, are Kuro, Rie, and Sly, though this may, and will likely, change.
Would anybody be up for an idea like this?

I like it, as long as the RPer in question gives enough physical details for us to get a good handle on the character.

That's one of the main reasons for such a tentative list. A lot of the time, people can't be bothered to go and make up an extensive description.
I was also thinking of making it so that somebody could queu their character by paying EP or something like that, so if somebody wanted a bunch of illustrations and stuff, they could do that.

Oh! That sounds super fun! You meant to say "I like it." So, 'boom, are you up for being the first author to be subjected to this? Or should we go by "Lee/Photu goes first, to do an example." Either way's cool with me.

I'd rather someone else go first 'cause I have this thing where I want the artist to have creative license (i.e. do what they want and surprise me)

So, no Kuro? Hmmm... Other ones I'd like to see: Rie Rhys Emily Blaise Valon Rick Ryuu/Aya Those are the big ones I can think of off the top of my head. (Naturally, I avoided listing characters for those of us who tend to sketch their characters on their own. You guys can wait. ) So, who would you all like to be the first one in the queu?

I was thinking of commissioning Rie from my friend who did Vieve, but I still haven't paid her for Vieve. >_>
But I like this idea.

Well, choobs, if you'd be so kind as to provide us with a description and/or link to a description of Rie, I'll set the deadline at a month from that post for submissions.
Remember people, all mediums are accepted, provided that you do the art yourself. Spriting, paper and pencil, 3-D rendering, crayons, paints, pastels, plush, sculpture, cosplay, crop circles, lite brites. Whatever you choose, it's a valid entry.

Her wiki entryYou can surprise me with the clothes, though if you want her "mission garb" she wears a cloak over a black tank top and fatigue pants and combat boots. She prefers using a rifle and/or a belt full of knives. She has scars running over every bone in her body. She has a decently pretty face (not stunning, not ugly) but has a couple scars and stuff due to her line of work. Here is a picture of Kara Thrace, who a lot of Rie's appearance is based on: And another of Rachel, who makes me think of Rie: That's a lot of detail I'm giving you guys, but feel free to take artistic liberties with anything. (for example, Potato thinking that Rie is dark haired no matter what I say)

November 10th, 5:00 PM East coast time is our deadline.
I'll be doing a sprite parcel for mine (Sprites using Pokemon, SRW, and RPGMaker materials. Probably one in each.)

I'm drawing one in the same style as the Terrian picture. Pencilling is done and I'm inking as we speak. If I can be a naughty boy and use a scanner that doesn't belong to me, I'll probably have this posted by Saturday.

Okay, cool. So we've got three entrants that I know of thusfar, since Cendra's got a few attempts where she's getting the feel for the design, and Kevin's interest was piqued. I think I may be the lone spriter. But hey, that's fine too. A good variety is always nice to have.
I must say, this is going to be interesting. My spriting vs. Cendra's realistic style vs. Kevin's anime style vs. Pohatu's distinctive style that I can't think of the proper term for atm. Quite a clash to be had!

One day, I will be able to draw hands. And hair. And women. In the meantime here is a picture of Rie. No cloak; I didn't feel like taking my chances. Folds of fabric make me very nervous as you can see from what she's wearing already.

I'm still kind of thinking about what I want to draw... if I want to do a full body, or just an upper half.
(I keep envisioning a women with two huge gatling guns, with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth screaming "F***********KKKKK!" )
@pohatu: I really like your drawing! Wonderful pose, and I like the face a lot. The pants are really cool (I know I wouldn't wanna do camo... ugh) the hands are not all that bad either.

That would just be Girl!Prime, though.
"girl!prime" was the less objectionable term i settled on after shying away from "tits!prime"

Rie could do gatling guns and a cigar. She doesn't do yelling, though.

Thanks a lot, Kevin! Sorry, my "Girl!Prime" comment came in before you edited your post.

Wouldn't Estrogen!Prime have either red, silver, white, or blue hair? Rie's a blonde unless she's a gorilla.
Though technically, a white gorilla dual wielding gatling guns while smoking a cigar would have a hefty chance at either instant winning, or being DQed for awesome.
