The SFHQ October Evil Jam!
7 years ago
The SFHQ October Evil Jam is your chance to add a little more evil to your happy little world. After all, what are heroes without foes to smack them around in the name of villainy?
The Evil Jam is a contest where the prize is the chance to get your character drawn in full color, but win or lose you'll still walk away with a kickass supervillain to call your very own! To enter, you need to sign up on the official SFHQ Contest channel, and must submit a full character sheet by 12 AM EST on the 31st. You must be a member of the SFHQ Discord to enter the contest.
Pick a song from the music list, and build a character around them. Try to pick something out of your comfort zone, and do your best to avoid a strict lyrical interpretation. Think about composition, instrumentation, and theme when it comes to your supervillain design.
Design a costume, powers, and most importantly a solid backstory. The backstory should fit into no more than three paragraphs. Keep it simple and concise.
The last two sections are where the meat of the Evil Jam is. In your submission, you must provide a short paragraph explaining how your character relates to the chosen song. Mention specific design choices, parallel themes, and other sources of inspiration. This must be no less than one paragraph.
Finally, list at least three connections to other characters/groups you own. It could be an alliance, a rivalry, or a plot element they share. The key is to think on a much larger scale. Gracefully integrate your new villain into the setting and tie them into ongoing stories as best as you can. They should feel natural and not forced.
There will be multiple rounds of voting depending on the number of entrants. Each round will last one week. Voting will be done in the SFHQ vote channel to prevent brigading. Only one vote per user per round. You may vote for yourself.
The winner will be decided after voting has concluded.
