Rules and Guidelines

1.If you use the sketches, lineart, stock photos etc. created by someone else, please ensure you have permission to do so. It can either be because they've give permission to everyone i.e. in their artists comments it says 'Feel free to colour and/or ink' etc. OR you actually asked the artist yourself. Also please credit the artist/model/stock photographer in your artist comments.

We are employing a 'benefit of the doubt' rule. All inks and colours, photomanipulations will be accepted as we will assume you've read the rules and followed them. However if art theft is suspected or is suggested by someone else, we will check with the original artist. However you will not have your artwork removed until we get a reply from the original artists saying this was stolen/edited without permission.

2. If you have commissioned a piece of relevant artwork and you have been granted permission to post it in your gallery, you may submit it here as long as the credits are given.

3.Other characters dressed up as a Gotham Girl character should not be submitted. Because the art isn't actually of Catwoman, for example, but rather a picture of another character dressed up as CW, it wouldn't count (cosplay excluded )

4. This is less of a rule and more a guideline. We don't have a submission limit but to prevent flooding, please try and restrict yourself to maybe five deviations a day give or take one or two.

5. We do accept mature content i.e. nudity, violence etc as long as it doesn't conflict with dA's rules and it has a mature content filter on it.

6. Crossovers are accepted but use your discretion. For example, your Catwoman and Spongebob Squarepants crossover might not work out but Watchmen and Catwoman for example? Fine.

7. Redesigns are accepted as long as we can still tell it's the character in some way.

8. No recreations. In other words, do not recreate another person's art work in their style. For example, a comic cover drawn in the same style as the original artist. We don't mind if you recreate the cover in your own style but no outright copies. Great for practice but we prefer to have original work or at least your take on it.

9. Finally, we don't encourage elitism so if you spent time on it and it's relevant, submit it. The only time we decline is if you've sent in a one minute doodle that only just looks like the character on some lined paper for example. Submit the work you'd want to associate with yourself.

Deviants

Time to get things kicked off! So Round 1 of Miss Gotham 2012 starts now! The first round's theme will be Redesigns. A nice self-explanatory round here.

All you have to do is redesign your character's outfit. Take inspiration from whereever you like but keep in mind these points:

:bulletblack: You are designing the costume that they will be using to commit crime/fight crime so make it iconic, distinctive.

:bulletblack: Think about what these characters do. If they're a gymnast and backflipping all over the place, they'll need something practical. In contrast, if you have someone who tends to boss people around or use magic, for example, you can have more flexibility in providing a slightly more impractical outfit.

:bulletblack: In addition to making it iconic and suitable, make it recognisable. You are free to redesign the hell out of a character and do what you like. But regardless of what you do, you have to make it clear which character you are drawing through your work.

:bulletblack: Make it attractive. Goes without saying. You're giving these ladies a design overhaul. Make it a change for the better!

:bulletblack: In the first round, you will need to write a short speech on why your character should be crowned Miss Gotham 2012 from yor character's perspective. i.e. 'My name is Harley Quinn and I should be crowned Miss Gotham 2012 because . . .' You can write this how you like. It can be as short or as long as you like. You can even ask someone else to write it for you if you like! It won't decide the winner but as we're doing a pageant contest, it's a fun addition. Also it tests whether you're all reading in the rules.

:bulletblack: It is not essential but to give everyone who votes an idea of why you chose the choices you did, you might want to explain your changes to the costume. NOT ESSENTIAL. You can choose not to but it couldn't hurt your chances.

And now for the basic rules:

:bulletblack: No work created before 4th May 2012. Do not try and submit a redesign you drew a few months or years ago. You are expected to create a completely new piece of work.

:bulletblack: The deadline for Round 1 is 10th June 2012. The deadline is short but it's still just over a month. Extensions are available and can be asked for a within the last week of the contest. However everyone is only granted one extension per round and the extension only lasts a week. If you don't get it in within that time, you're out of the contest. So if Person 1 asks for an extenstion in Round 1, everyone gets an extension of the deadline and will be informed by journal. However Person 2 can't ask for an extension in Round 1 for ANOTHER week.

:bulletblack: A folder will be created for you to submit your entry to called MG12 Round 1. Submit all of your Round 1 entries there. Entries sent to other folders will be declined and you will be asked to resubmit. It might help to write MG12 Round 1 in the title of your deviation so if you do send it to the wrong place, I can spot it quicker.

And that . . . is it!

Of course any questions you have, feel free to ask me or leave a comment on this journal. Good luck to all of you!
