The Prize: The top winners, voted on by folks who are in the comics industry, will win a copy of the Despicable Me DVD starring the voices of Steve Carrell, James Segel, and Russell Brand. The top vote-getters will also appear in Sketch Magazine.

Note: This is a chance for you to show your stuff! Iíve said this before but there will be a bunch of people looking at these entries, some to judge and many just to see what you've entered, so bring your best stuff!

Deadline: January 31, 2011.

You have a little over a month. Get to it! The posting window will start January 31, 2011 and end February 2, 2011 midnight. Wait until then to post your entry and you can do it in this thread. I'll pull all the entries together later for the judges.

Here's my entry for the Despicable Me heroic villain contest. I made a pretty old school Doc Ock, but I kept his arms/claws a little more contemporary so they would be just intimidating enough to make that cat in the tree worry about what his exact intentions are. I drew this picture in Adobe Illustrator. Thanks for checking it out.

Of course, DOOM does not stoop to actually holding a sign (though he did agree to wear the dorky reflective vest--hmm...), so his DOOMbots flash the "STOP" sign for him, complete with flashing lights...and an explosive mine function if anyone disobeys him.

This is my first-ever art piece using Manga Studio EX4. I can't describe to you the joy of using this program. Truly a comic book artist's dream.

Great job! I just noticed as I posted my entry that we both did a "Cat stuck up on a tree". Great minds right!?
