    Thanks for sharing your artistic talents with us, AC. I certainly enjoyed them. Have fun wherever you head off to, and perhaps we'll see you again sometime. :)

    Thanks again AC for bringing out your skills for some community fun! It's always a blast to see your latest lotteries with the creativity and life you breathe into our characters. Without your idea I know I'd have way less art to color too :P

    Speaking of which, I do plan on coloring the remaining art that you have posted on the forums... in part cause it's fun but more so to put that feather in your cap and see the project here completed. So for those of you who have pieces that have yet to be colored, I'll get them posted in their respective threads as I complete them :)

    Knowing a bit about the character's bio I had to play up the movie poster vibe here :P

    Hey all
    A person who apparently watch my DA account has asked me to post "my original characters" to their webstite. I have no idea if this is an honest request or not but I have no intention of claiming your characters as my own. I'm not sure what to about this yet but will not post anything, my first thought is to delete all my posts. If I do delete them, know that it has nothing to do with you guys, you were all great.

    I looked at the guys website, and according to it's information page, all character posted are with permission only, and any will be removed no questions asked by request, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.

    Hello Heroes
    As some of you may know I have been trying out the new AT here in Champs but still spend most of my time over at Marvel. I'm also looking for something to draw so I'll split the difference with a quick lottery.
    What happens when two heroes are forced to to team up to take down a common foe? A super brawl, and that's what I going to run, Hero Throwdown. Which mainstream Marvel Hero would you Throwdown with in a classic superhero battle? This is not about RP, it's about getting your geek on. All the regular rules apply but you must also be willing to let me post the pic to the Marvel Forums as well. Cut & Paste but feel free to ask question here.

    Standard Lottery Rules (these never change):
    (1) Post the name of your hero and the hero you would Throwdown with.
    (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). If your character uses a weapon I will need to see it as well.
    * the screen-cap does not need to be posted till a winner is announced, no screen cap no doodle however.


    Hero Throwdown
    (01)
    (02)
    (03)
    (04)
    (05)
    (06) Let's see, how about She-Squatch vs. the Beast (Blue & furry Avengers era).

    This is a quick lottery, it's start now and I'll close it first thing in the morning. Let's nip the first question in the bud right now, the doodle will only showcase you and the Marvel hero, a small pet might fit but a duo would be two much.

    Nice two entries already but don't forget to add your @names to your posts. Also remember that in order to remain unbiased, I don't follow links, the winner will have to post a screen cap to the thread itself when it's announced.

    Hello Heroes
    I had planned that last lottery to be my last and had offered this up on the Marvel forums instead.

    "October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and October 1st is this Wednesday. So I will draw whichever Marvel heroine get the most votes here on my thread in a cheeky SFW pin up to promote this. The character must be 18 plus and must exist in the game already.
    Thanks
    Ps. I'm not voting myself but will decide any ties or place a default if necessary."


    While I got a ton of page views I got no votes or posts at all. If you know me at all you know the feedback is a big rush for me so while it was hard for me to let it go, I had to. That brings me here, the idea is the same but instead of She-hulk or Scarlet Witch it's you. Your character must be 18 plus, mostly human and have a recognizable costume. I am looking for "human" and female for the obvious reasons. You may be a partial cyborg or lightly armoured but no heavy or full suits. All the normal rules apply and feel free to ask questions here.

    Standard Lottery Rules (these never change):
    (1) Post the name of your hero and the hero you would Throwdown with.
    (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). If your character uses a weapon I will need to see it as well.
    * the screen-cap does not need to be posted till a winner is announced, no screen cap no doodle however.


    Sorry this is also going to be a quick close, I really wanted to get this one drawn already. It's a Friday night close somewhere around 7:30 pm.
    Thanks

    Don't worry about suggesting poses, I will chose whatever pose suits the tagline needed to illustrate the picture. for example had She-hulk been picked I would've chosen a 3/4 backview with Jen cupping her breast, looking over her shoulder and the tagline would've been something like "Self examination is important, trust me I can't take any more radiation"

    Thanks but let's not get ahead of ourselves, lol.

    There is potentially one more lottery to come, I offered to let Bunni run one but the messages got lost in the shuffle and I had committed to other things. If you do see a lottery post by Bunni in the near future it is real and it means I found some free time.

    Woooot! I'm really stoked AC XD

    Britannia is the patron goddess and guardian of Great Britain. A scion of Minerva, she rose to prominence and broke away from the Dodekatheon before the fall of Rome, and has been the patron deity of her island home ever since, ever-watchful and ready to defend it from all-comers.

    She is a goddess of rigid, unyielding honor and fair play, which she encourages in all dealings. Though never much formally worshiped, even in her heyday, she is still honoured on coins, in artwork and in the philosophical writings of her people, who treat her as more of a mascot than a goddess. During the past couple of centuries, Britannia has taken a series of secret identities in an attempt to empathise and better understand those she has sworn to protect.

    Her current guise is that of Tania Wilson, Professor of Classics and ancient history at Magdalen College, Oxford. But when needed, she conjures up her Sceptre of Power, strikes it upon the ground and transforms into her true self... RULE BRITANNIA !!!

    It's not necessary to include her sceptre, AC. I leave that choice to your impeccable judgement. I'm looking forward to this !

    I'm not sure how to do partial quotes so I'll just cut&paste it.

    "Britannia is the patron goddess and guardian of Great Britain. A scion of Minerva, she rose to prominence and broke away from the Dodekatheon before the fall of Rome, and has been the patron deity of her island home ever since, ever-watchful and ready to defend it from all-comers."

    "Your character must be 18 plus, mostly human and have a recognizable costume. I am looking for "human" and female for the obvious reasons. You may be a partial cyborg or lightly armoured but no heavy or full suits. All the normal rules apply and feel free to ask questions here."

    I'm not sure what to do about this, I never said "mortal" in my original post but Britannia doesn't really qualify as mostly human. A goddess is usually immune mortal frailties which would be a little counter productive to the theme. At the time you entered I didn't know your background or I would've asked you to post someone else.

    So while I would normally say no, I will leave it up to other entrants instead. If they don't care then I'll honour it, either way I won't decide anything till I post the Throwdown.

    I'll go by whatever you guys decide, honestly. I see your dilemma AC.

    I suppose she's technically a demi-goddess, a mortal, although extremely tough, strong and long lived descendant of Minerva (bluegrassbeast got the Scion reference :-)). Her "goddess" status was given to her by the descendant's of the modern British when she was defending her adopted home from the ravages of the Romans and the avatars of their gods, mainly Mars.

    I like to think that Britannia is considered a feminist icon in modern Britain, a heroine fighting for justice, love, peace, and sexual equality .

    Also, in Britannia's defence, I could totally see Wonder Woman, the new Greek Goddess of war, doing this type of promotion.

    I promise I'll take whatever decision you make with grace.

    If everybody else is cool with it then like I said I'll honour it.

    Do let me say however that the bio is totally relevant as it plays into the thought processes behind the lotteries. I like to do these but have huge performance anxiety, the rules I set up in advance help me with this problem in several ways:
    (01) Capability - I need to know in advance that I can pull these off otherwise the tension starts to build fast. I want to surprise you and blow you away if all possible and to prepare my self I select everything but the heroes (you guys /gals). Themes might dictate types of characters as well.
    Ex:
    VictoriaDay01_zpsb93fe8e4.jpg
    When I ran this one I offered up two postions to Canadian heroes. hopefully you'll notice the picture's structure is a straight line tapering off into the distance. My character and the barbecue were already in place with room to the farthest right for a cameo if it felt lame. The challenge is I didn't know who would win and with which placement, but seriously I had half the doodle plotted and pencilled before hand.
    (02) Honesty - I get accused of favoritism or cheating all the time. That also builds tension like you wouldn't believe. So I constantly change up the themes and rules and make every list available to you to attempt to keep it honest. That also means I hold everybody to the same rules, many of you have had to change entries or been pulled before the final draw.

    "Also, in Britannia's defence, I could totally see Wonder Woman, the new Greek Goddess of war, doing this type of promotion."

    *For sure, but there's no need for defense it simple wasn't what I asked for as I hope I've explained above.

    TLDR
    If you like the themes, you enter the lottery - I have to hope you are playing as honestly by me as I am with you.
    If you don't like or don't understand the themes - Ask for clarity or sit the current one out.

    Damn...sorry to hear that AC. I had no idea that people would go that far in a situation where someone is offering free drawings out of community spirit and a love of the medium. That's sad to hear.

    I only added a part of Brit's bio because of your comment.......
    ... inspiration can be very fickle.
    ......I thought that maybe it would provide some inspiration if the muse was being elusive :-)

    I entered the draw in the spirit that it was intended AC. I love superheroes, I love what you're doing here and I love a worthy cause. I honestly thought that Britannia was a good representative for the theme. As I said mate, I'll respect whatever you decide.

    Also....DON'T GO!
