Hello Heroes
I mentioned over on the Christmas Freebie thread that I've run an Art Lottery for the various Super Groups I've been in, and while I'm not too sure the idea would work here, I'd like to try. I've learned quite a bit during the initial run and made some basic ground rules as I went along. It's Cut & Paste, but this the basic form:
Standard Lottery Rules (these never change):
(1) Post the name of your hero, (insert theme requirement).
(2) Post your global name.
(3) Post a full body, full color picture of the hero (doesn't need to be big, just showing head to toe).
* do not post the screen-cap until a winner is announced, no screen cap no doodle however.
Example:
Hi I'd love to see Sector Protector done up, I'm
@BobbyBlaze.
These are not commissions, nor am I looking to do commissions, this is all for fun. I do Single Character/Black&White doodles for the winners. The themes offered are my choice although suggestions are welcome and sometimes I add little bonuses. The format is pretty set, these are Pen&Ink on 8.5 X 11 standard copier paper. I think that's about it, so if you do want in, simply watch the thread and follow the rules.
You must be an active Champions player and you must be able to post a screen cap of your character to the thread if you do win. I do not claim the art, once posted it belongs to winning hero/player. I think that's about it, so if you do want in, simply watch the thread and follow the rules. Know that I do take both the rules and the format pretty seriously, it's nothing personal but misunderstandings do happen.
I post the winners to a deviantArt page as well as here on the site.

For the first lottery I would usually start small, but since I can not guarantee how many of these there will be or how often they will come up, we're going to drop the big one. One of my favorite lotteries is the Marvel Mash-Up Lottery and one (un)lucky hero is going to get pasted by the Epic Marvel Villain of their choice.
Marvel Mash-Up - Remember this is for true geeks only, you're going to lose. So pick which Epic Marvel Villain you would like to see utterly defeat your hero. This is a new series so all villains are available (not including Galactus types). By Epic I mean the big gun / name brand villains not just the cosmic entity types. Do keep in mind that I'm an older fan so the villain you choose must be part of the main Marvel Universe and will be drawn in the most recognizable costume or era.
Standard Rules:
(01) Post the name of your Hero and your @name.
(02) Post the name of the Epic Marvel Villain you lose to.
(03) You are responsible for posting a screen-cap of your hero
* Do not post the screen cap until the winner is drawn, no screen cap no doodle however.

The lottery runs for three days, I'll update the list once a day and close it on the third day. You will be added to the list as you make a proper post. The list is real and has a Nat D20 cap, and yes I really do roll a die to determine the winner. Feel free to ask question here but do not post a screen cap in advance, I'd like to keep the thread as neat as possible. It's Monday night now and I'll close the lottery on Wednesday night.
Thanks,
AC

We got a nice selection of Villains so far, although I will have to look up Doop and see if he's epic enough. Thanks for the quick responses, still plenty of time to get on the list though.

While he technically isn't a villain... Azunai vs. a pissed off Hulk would be epic. Or the Juggernaut.

*@notyuu here, i'd like to see my toon arona lazing about on the couch eating pizza petting a dog, or facing off agsaint caliga in hammer vs fist combat!
*I went looking which is not good sign for an epic villain, but could not find a Marvel villain called Caliga.
Still plenty of time and feel free to switch up your entry but the Nat d20 Cap is fast approaching and that means an early close if I get 20 proper posts.

Rolling my oldest d20, the die faces a "19". Congratz to Minerva, things are about to get Sinister! I'll get started on this as soon as the screen cap is posted to this thread.
Hi AC, just writing to say this is a really cool idea and thanks for doing it for the COmmunity.
I'm not entering as I think others have better ideas than me for those limited 20 slots.
I just look forward to this.
Cool and thanks, but for the record the Mash-Up is usually three rounds and anyone who follows the rules may enter the first two rounds. The d20 cap is based on the logic that a single die roll is more random than multiple die rolls, and the fact that random number generators just aren't as satisfying as a god old fashioned die roll.
Thanks to everybody who was willing to take a pounding for this event,
AC
And Gratz to Minerva, may your defeat be glorious!

Every other villain, even Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, simply want to defeat or kill you.
With Mr. Sinister and Apocalypse, they defeat you, then use your body in some sick experiment.
You know, I just realised I made this sound like the worst prize ever, but congratz, Minerva!

Thanks a lot!
What kind of screep cap do you need the costume file?

The post will be a definite defeat but not necessarily death, one of my faves had Deathstroke standing over an unconscious hero, casually tossing away the hero's utility belt.

Not the lottery winner's picture, although I have started it, just a random Freebie. It's a little off model but I wanted to play with her size and propping her up against a pretty standard superhero body type shows that off pretty well. That is Agent Canada, no logo though he's not the star. I do hope you get a kick out of this Freebie.

hmmm, now that I posted it, she may be a little too slinky, hope it still works,
