Umm, Bubbawheat, it's much too late to be announcing July's theme - you must be tired.|

I seriously hate this hoary method of creating cheap tension and drama in comics and other media - killing off main characters is Not exciting. It just ensures that some part of your fan-base is absolutely going to hate you.
Of course, then there's the Other hoary method of creating cheap tension and drama - 'The Return of Previously Dead Character!'
Still, it's a decent excuse for great Arts.
Be Well!

With or without two empty dagger holsters on your char? 
But yea, I sort of figured you would Neko :P

My sources tell me that Protean received an anonymous package this morning. It was wrapped in brown butcher paper and white string and allegedly contained 100 cheesy fish-stix, two dozen shiny brass Nemmie-style buttons, and a voucher for a year's supply of Mice-A-Roni!

Oh dear... that's quite a challance indeed! 
Oh.. Bubba, I noticed in the "rules" and stuff a tiny "typo": (also on the July battle, it appears)
6. Early Bird Points- If you post your final submission early, you will get 1 vote point which is equal to 1 third place vote. If you post your final submission before midnight Eastern June 15th, you will get 1 free third place vote in this round. Hope to see some submissions soon.
I assume, "June 15th" should be "August 15th"?
*waves and goes plotting*
Edit, nearly 4 hours later: ooooh goody, the plot is thickening already! *laughs evilly*

And with Battlewraith's withdrawal, there will be no use of immunity points this month, though there will still be an elimination unless someone else withdraws (which would kind of stink, for an art contest based on eliminations... we've gotten down to 3 and only eliminated 1 person through voting). You may use them for the other options, including forcing me to come up with next month's theme... I mean, getting to know next month's theme early.

I still hate how they made Manti and Sis look like utter pansies in the official pic. I mean, come on, these are damn Phalanx members, they can take a few knocks and not go all weak kneed!

The eliminations continue... will that mean that the battle will end far before it's actual ending month?
5 months to go...and only 3 participants left....

Also glad to hear Liz is ok (I have family living on the coast that are/were in the path too, thankfully they are all ok for now).
August's theme is Who Will Die?
We're all excited by City of Heroes: Freedom, and one of the things coming out is the Signature Story Arcs. The first one is a huge 7 part series featuring The Surviving Eight, and one of them will die. We don't know who and we don't know how. How would you do it? Teaser by Samuraiko
Rules
All types of visual art are acceptable for this month's theme. Screenshot manipulations, sketches, graphic design, etc. So long as they incorporate this month's theme into the work.
1. Use City of Heroes/Villains Characters- This is, afterall, a CoX Fan Art competition, so I expect you guys to keep that in mind. If there's nothing relating to City of Heroes/Villains in your entry, you will be disqualified.
2. Keep It PG-13- All entries this month must be postable to these boards without a 2 click.
3. Deadlines- All entries MUST be submitted to this thread by Monday August 29th by Midnight Eastern US time. Voting will begin by Tuesday August 30th, held here on the CoH boards. The pieces that I put up for a vote have been personally verified by me, so if you disagree with their qualifications, please take it up with me rather than the artists.
4. On theme- This month's theme is "Who Will Die?" based on the upcoming signature story arcs. Your piece can be a teaser for the story arc, it can be a what-if scenario based on how the arc might play out, as long as it ties into the Surviving Eight - Statesman, Positron, Manticore, Sister Psyche, Citadel, Numina, Synapse, and Back Alley Brawler.
5. There will be eliminations this month instead of points, you may use the points you have accumulated through this point as you see fit, either privately or announced in this thread. At least 1 person will be eliminated through voting. If you don't submit this month, and don't use your points to save yourself you will be eliminated. The top artist based on votes is safe from elimination no matter how many people use their points to save themselves from elimination.
6. Early Bird Points- If you post your final submission early, you will get 1 vote point which is equal to 1 third place vote. If you post your final submission before midnight Eastern August 15th, you will get 1 free third place vote in this round. Hope to see some submissions soon.
7. Prizes- The artist with the most votes each month will receive 10 million inf sent to them through in game E-mail. The overall winner of the year will receive 100 million. Thanks to Draggynn and Amerikatt for their donations to the prize fund.
7. Uses for points:
You may announce your use of points in this thread, or privately through PM to me. Privately used points will be revealed in the voting results with the adjusted points totals. You may use points until we are down to the final 3 artists.
5 points: Head Start - find out the next month's theme in advance.
15 points: A Little More Time - Allows an entry to be submitted and/or modified up to 2 days after the deadline. No adjustments will be made for any votes already cast if applicable.
30 points: Overruled! - If your piece is judged as not being within theme, you can overrule the judgement and have your piece placed in the voting thread anyway (This cannot overrule rules #1 or #2)
