How about making the first round an open (no limit), then downselect to 16, then 8, and so on?

Thanks Gero & Kaldath,
Let me think for a moment…
Here’s what I was trying to get at. The rounds I listed were just rough ideas of how to do the following…
*Showcase Charcter Design
*Showcase Full Picture
*Showcase Custom Pose
*Showcase Complete Work

Because let’s face it, a great background and good pose usually out a better character design, or at least that’s the way it appears to me.

btw, Congrats on the win Kaldath, you had some great entries

It is an interesting Idea, but wouldn’t likely get as many entrants, I know I wouldn’t enter, as I have no desire to design comic book covers. I perfer very simple backgrounds and will only use a more complex one if I believe the character needs it to pull off an effect or style.

Congratulations to Kaldath, Imp, and all WCA winners (especially Zyp!)! It was a lot of fun looking over and voting on the entries. I can’t wait to see what the next FNF will have in store for us, and I just hope I’ll be able to enter it!

P.S.-Martian, that’s an interesting idea, building on one character over the course of the contest, but it may be too hard to pull off…

Boo!!!

No, no, congrats all. A very interesting concept, with many great entrants. I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s work.

I enjoyed the FNFs but I think maybe it needs a different theme or something. I don’t claim to know better than anyone else, but I would like to see single characters by each creator, instead of a team survivor series.

Here’s what I have in mind
*16 entrants
*1 on 1
*Winner of each round moves on
looking familiar, here’s where it gets different
*a contest theme, instead of a weekly one
*each round has the same character, but with small differences, such as…
*Week 1, basic character design, no background
*Week 2, character with background
*Week 3, character in pose
*Week 4, comic cover
(rough idea, something like that)
*2 entrants submission required at beginning, if moved on to next round a third entrant is submitted, and so on with the fourth.
This gives us time to really work on one character, and teaches us to not only make great characters, but great pictures as well.

As I said, it’s just a rough idea, but maybe worth thinking about

Good job to the winners. But I must add that we have all won, one way or another, with Hero Machine so a good job to Jeff as well.

Congratulations to all the winners! I’d like to thank everyone who voted for The Mighty Atlas, Jack Saturn, Ra Mahn Kar, and The Black Bat. Personally, I hope there will be no more Friday Night Fights.

I agree that Inferne is excellent. Her composition and the background look like almost like something professionally done–like a real comic book cover.
