Now that the introductions are out of the way, here are the four solicited covers to help inspire you. You can see the 'evolution' of the characters with four chosen outfits. Four is a lot to ask for, but if you feel up to the challenge then please try it! Otherwise, a minimum of two poses & outfits is required; they can be any old appearance, plus your take on what the character looks like now. Only one entry per person, so don't just pick any old character... make sure it's someone you know & love!

Aside from these four, any Marvel mutant is up for grabs whether they've been an X-Man (or X-Woman) or not. Hero or villain, powered or de-powered. Here's a chance to create an 'Evolution' fashion parade for your favourite mutant! Or if you just want to have your 2¢ on these upcoming variants, then have a look at the blog: What Do you Think... About The 'X-Men Evolutions' Variant Covers?

The Prize

This is the issue in question: (Uncanny) X-Men #114. There are a lot of creases in the covers and the paper is soft to the touch, like paper money that's been in circulation for a few years. However, the print quality is absolutely pristine. I've compared both copies and they're identical. And if anyone isn't sure about the large price tag for 12p on the cover, then please check out my blog on When British Comic Books Were Really American Comic Books .

Deadline

Here's the World Clock. GMT is Greenwich Mean Time, which is 5 hours ahead of East Coast America & 8 hours ahead of West Coast. After that, my geography stinks, so you'll need to use the World Clock to figure out what time 17:00 GMT is for you ;) should everything go according to plan (if there aren't any power cuts or random 'acts of god') then voting will be posted soon after.

Frequently/Previously Asked Questions

How do we submit the drawing? Where do I send my submission?

This Contest will follow the basis of the usual competitions in the Artist Show-Off Forum. You'll need to upload your image to your Gallery & then post that image in a comment below (in this thread). When you 'insert' the image, select large. I'll then find it in your 'Images' tab from your profile & download it for later.

US residents only I'm guessing?

Not at all! I'm in England, and am willing to ship the comic anywhere, world wide. Yep... Anywhere! I'll take it to the Post Office & then let Royal Mail do all the hard work.

Can the costumes be from alternate realities??

Sorry, but no. The contest is about showing the 'evolution' of a character. To do that, you must focus on their Earth-616 mainstream Marvel Universe appearances. Therefore alternate realities aren't accepted.

Do we draw one "real" outfit, and then three ones we make up? Or four real outfits?

Official outfits only. If an outfit has appeared in the comics, then it is allowable. There will be 'design your own version' style contests in future. For now, stick with 2 to 4 different outfits that have been published & show the 'evolution' of your chosen character.

I want dibs on...

Sorry, no 'dibs'. If someone draws the evolution of Warpath, then someone else will also be able to make an entry featuring Warpath. All mutants are free to use except for those in the official covers (see the examples above).

Feel free to ask if you have any questions... and good luck!!

@Comiclove5: @HaHaManHV: Wow, good luck!! XD

Ah, but that's part of the fun. You get to choose which outfits that you think best demonstrate the evolution of you chosen characters... Betsy could have Captain Britain, British body Psylocke, Asian body swimsuit wearing Psylocke, Exiles outfit, etc... Or just two that best describe how far she's come as a character (and she's probably one of the easiest to show that ;)

@ArtisticNeedham: That's so funny! :)

@Babs: I don't know how you make videos for a living! I kept tripping up over my words. It took me about an hour before I realised I could do it in little instalments instead of one take! You're so brave to do this every day!

@Baddamdog: Thank you :) And I stalked eBay for a very long time. It was my Pay Day treat to myself last month... and I absolutely hate it! It's so large that it falls down (one lost take shows Dazzler fall down from the top corner) and because it's printed on a durable flexible plastic it absolutely stinks to high heaven! I keep it rolled up in the original sleeve to prevent the smell from stinking me out of house & home!

@IIayK: T hank you! But it's such a poor camera that you can't see all the peroxide burnt out split ends ;)

@tonis: If this works out, then I have a couple more ideas in the back of my head. So wish everyone luck for me!

@xerox-kitty: The XeroxKitty has appeared. You actually took my idea. I was going to create an Artist Show-Off Showdown-style contest this week with the exact same idea and rules.
Except yours is better. We get to see your lovely face and the winner will get a prize!

(You did good... so kudos!)

Good luck, it was limited run when it came out months ago.

It's probably worse for the Spider-Man one I wanted

Awh no Rogue though? *sulk* I might go with the same characters I nominated in your other X-Men covers evolution thread... Xavier, Madrox, M, Beast... is it cheating to use Tabitha. Bwhahaha. Damn she would be too hard I think...

Good luck everyone, and I hope you get to do more contests xerox-kitty.

Even Cyclops has changed his clothes occasionally (although most of them were based on the blue body condom)... And Magneto has had a few fashion disasters (especially when he dressed as a portly White King o the Hellfire Club ;)

You can pour through the galleries here on Comic Vine for a little fashionista inspiration ;)

No question is a dumb question :)

Welcome to Comic Vine! The way to enter the competition is the same as with any contest in out Artist Show-Off forum; just post the entry as a reply here. I know it wont be anonymous, but rest assured that our members really do vote based on talent :)

If you're still unsure, please feel free to ask (either here int he thread or in a PM :)
