StarCommand.com Mascot Needed, $60 To Winner

[RogueWriter]

I've been ambivalent about what to do with this domain, but I've finally decided to use it for a toy/game merchant site. I've posted it on eBay a few times, but no offers I want to consider, so perhaps after it is a profitable game/hobby store it will receive more interest.

So, I need a mascot, and this is what I am looking for:

A human or alien, standing, arms crossed with a gun/blazer sticking out of his right hand, with some sort of world or star setting in the background. Since this will be posted in the top left corner of the site, the character should be angled a bit, though I suppose I would consider straight on images.

First place will receive $60, and second place will receive $30.

I need to have complete rights to the images, no pulling from a clipart, I want original artwork.
Please keep in mind that the winning creator will get additional business from me down the road, as several new images of the mascot will be required on different pages.

Contest will end at the end of 2006, and I will choose the winner shortly into 2007.

edited to make Mark happy.

I need to have complete rights to the images, no pulling from a clipart, I want original artwork. Further, the images need to be somewhat professional, I am trying to project a confident, clean site, and reserve the right to cancel this contest if none of the entries live up to that goal.

Well - This part is against our rules for one thing .... I'd imagine most avoided the thread over this to be honest.

Once there are Entries in a contest on NamePros - There must be a winner chosen. The time frame is also a bit long for our rules ...

Okay, Mark, I'll revise the contest by removing that disclaimer. As I have never run a contest like that here, I am just a bit cautious....I have no idea as to the quality of who will respond.

So, to clarify it, there WILL be a winner chosen from the submissions given.

Thanks, all.

Johan-

I like the one on the left, pretty clever looking. I'd like to see a finished version of that one. Keep in mind, though, it is a contest, so I don't know who will win the money yet. Still, nice opening shot.

Bump!

Don't forget me, and remember, the winner may very well get additional business from me for different mascot images for the site!

Hello,

Expect a little something from me, too.

 

[RogueWriter]

Okie-dokes! Two weeks left!

 

[johan design]

any feedback on my desing?

 

[RogueWriter]

Johan-
I like the face/neck of the design, but I think the torso needs some proportioning, more details in the lower body, and some way of making it appear more futuristic. I really like the facial look, though, the guy looks kind - but dangerous.


What I like about dzynd4u's work is that it is in no uncertain terms futuristic, with some kind of weapon sporting alien being. The head is a little odd, but hey, it is original!
