Have you ever been told you look a bit like Logan? Were a double for Dr Strange or a ringer for Rhas Al Ghul? If you think you could pass for your favorite character or even have a passing resemblance to anyone from the funny books then enter the competition and see what the CBM community think.
Here's what you need to do:
Register with CBM(if you haven't already), post a picture of yourself in the comments section and say which character you would like to be sketched as. You can pose, it can be a full body shot(although your face must be clear enough to make a sketch from), or just be natural and hope your resemblance to the character is enough. You CAN dress up if you like but this is not a cosplay competition and may not help you win over someone who hasn't donned a costume. Its all up to you. The first round is the posting of pics. Myself and Shaman will narrow it down to a top 5(maybe 10 depending on the number of entries), then its all up to you guys. CBM community votes for the winner.
What can you win? Only immortality as you will be sketched as your character by The Shaman himself!..Aaand a bag of swag too:)
Starting date for entries is today, August 27th. We're going to stop accepting entries 2 weeks from now on Sep 10th so that gives you plenty of time.
As an example here is CBM'er InValensname as sketched by Shaman from a previous competition. I'll assume the character needs no introduction!
Rules and regulations: Facial expression "close ups" are prefered over "body poses". The portait will ONLY include your head and a glimpse of your chest/shoulders no matter what pose you make. So make sure you chose a character that is recognizable from their mask or special head gear (i.e. Kyle Rayner, Star Sapphire, Jugghead). You will be disqualified if the character you chose has a full faced helmet/mask that hides all your facial traits (i.e. no Vader/Spidey). Your picture must be in high resolution enough so that Shaman can zoom in to grasp every little detail to make an accurate portrait. The background isn't important but you must be clearly visible. Lighting is everything! (Think ID Card) Remember, your face needs to LOOK like the character to have a better shot at winning! The sketches will NOT be sent by mail with the swag for quality conservation purposes. You will be able to save them on your computer when the winners will be posted with the results! THE MORE FEMALE CONTESTANTS, THE MERRIER (the men will be)!!! And be sure to write the name of the character your posing as with your picture of course
If your not sure how to add a picture with your comment, you can create a fansite by clicking HERE and upload a pic that way, or use photobucket, or just email me the pic and I'll post it.
* Any contestant not wishing to post pics in the comments section can email them directly to me(click "contact me" at the top left of the page)
Best of luck:)
