AICN & Universal Have A WOLFMAN Opportunity For You...
Merrick here...
...with a quick WOLFMAN contest for you to sink your fangs into.
This one's pretty straight forward: send me images - OF YOUR CREATION - built around Universal's "Wolfman" character. YES, go ahead and use other Universal creatures/characters as well (Google 'Universal Monsters' if you don't know of any), but WOLFMAN must be incorporated into your entry in some way. The rest? Is up to you.
Artwork can be traditional or digital - just be sure to send your image file in a format that can be easily opened/accessed by anyone.
Winning artwork WILL be presented here on AICN - if you don't want it displayed on this site, don't submit your work.
The deadline for contest entires is 11:59:59PM Wednesday February 10.
Contest is open to U.S. residents only.
BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND MAILING ADDRESS WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR CONTEST ENTRY! Your address is to expedite prize fulfillment only and will not be used for any other purposes. All information will be summarily deleted at contest's end.
PRIZES CAN NOT BE SHIPPED TO A P.O. BOX - so we'll need a physical mailing address.
The coolest image (evaluated on overall creativity first and foremost - clearly artistry, etc. will also be considered) will receive 1 (ONE) prize pack, courtesy of the fine folks at Universal.
Said prize pack will include:
(1) Original, 1941 Wolf Man 2 disc DVD

Get Ready For Watchmen 2
Submitted by Rich Johnston on February 3, 2010 – 3:00 pm (71) comments
I’ve heard this one rumbling for a while now. First there was the story that DC Comics Publisher and President Paul Levitz had personally prevented any Watchmen 2 projects, because, despite their differences, he believed that as this would be against Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ wishes, it would cause bery bad feeling in the creative community and would be a creatively bankrupt move.
Moore fell out massively with DC Comics, and Paul Levitz specifically, not only choosing not to work with them any further, but scuppering spinoff projects, removing his name from any movie credits and any money due to him from said movies, and taking his one final project The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, from Wildstorm, a publisher DC had purchased.
But in the wake of the movie, Watchmen the comic became DC’s best selling publication of all time. One might say partly because it had remained undiluted after all this time.
But there were moves. A Wizard splash showing DC’s Countdown multiverse had Rorschach as one of the combatants and it was rumoured one of the universes in the DC 52 Multiverse was intended to be the Watchmen world. Instead, Earth 4 became a world inspired by elements of Watchmen and the Charlton Heroes universe but with other aspects such as the laws of physics being altered.
But the news broke that Paul Levitz was stepping down from DC Comics as both President and Publisher, I wondered what that meant for the possibility of a Watchmen sequel. Certainly in a hundred years, you couldn’t expect there not to be one.
Well, it seems to be happening a lot sooner than I thought. I understand now that this considered a pet project of Dan DiDio, SVP-Executive Editor. That he is determined to impress new bosses by building on DC’s biggest selling comic book of all time with multiple prequel comic miniseries and spinoff ongoing projects.
I understand that both Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons have to be offered first refusal before any of these titles could be published. But if they don’t want to work on them themselves (and Alan Moore is never going to agree), DiDio has been sounding out people who might be willing to take on the task.
While some creators are reticent, the argument goes if there are a number of Watchmen spinoff projects, any blame or shame can be spread on many shoulders. The sales are expected to be massive, whatever the hardcore fanboy reaction and such expected sales benefits will be shared amongst the creative teams.
In contrast, not only would Levitz not allow any new Watchmen stories but even the video game was restricted to material in the graphic novel and film, nothing brand new was allowed to be invented. Despite differences with Moore, Levitz has held fast to the committment that the comic is the comic is the comic.
It seems that this may now change.
At this stage, having disowned himself of much of it, Alan Moore is likely not to care. Though we might get an eviscerating blast at some point if this all comes to pass.
Both Jim Baikie, Rich Veitch and Gene Ha/Zander Cannon are artists who have taken on writing chores on books previously written by Alan Moore, to continue the storyline. The most creatively-acceptable solution would be Dave Gibbons writing and drawing new Watchmen titles. But DiDio’s plans seem much larger than just one book.
And of course, in those initial movie contracts with Fox, there was a clause that included sequels to a Watchmen movie.

Get a spellcheck for Christ's sake

But what the fuck does that have to do with the Wolfman?
-
YES!!!
-
Or coullotes, whatever.
-
Mainly because there's likely to be one entry. The AICN crowd just sit around scratching their asses all day and munching on cheetos. This sounds like too much effort.

It's a Dutch word for Seller of Waffles; also derogatory slang for Belgian (ex, "a family of Woflmen just moved in next door - there goes the neighborhood").
-
then you are dead to me.

i have to post it somewhere if this shitty site wont report it
-
Seriously, it would cost more to make the artwork than to just buy the stuff from Target. The least they could have done was throw in a Sideshow Collectibles figure. Meh!

...at the watchmen2 bullshit.
-
...was a very cool idea. This AICN contest is fine; I wouldn't complain. Too bad I'm not artistic. The Wolf Man DVD and CD are worth shooting for.
-
....I STILL reckon the original title looks better written that way compared to the new title....
-
the contest is cool though. heh heh heh.
-
existing images off the web but changed enough to be called our own?
-
Rather than an image, will you accept a poorly-crafted tale about how the Wolfman can go back in time and give us world peace?
-
BUT I MUST HAVE THE COASTER!!

Merrick, what happened to the Christmas giveaways contest?
by yackbacker
I might have missed it if you posted results, but I don't recall seeing anything.
-
Or just one?
-
Just got back form the hospital, and nope, WASN't h1n1, it was pneumonia!
But the drugs I'm on now (Purple Drank bitches) taste like cherry wolfman.
HOWLS @ m00N -
Universal Monster Farts

..then noticed the prizes. Now I struggle to find the motivation. Could Emily Blunt rub the hat on her cooz or something? What the FUCK?!
-
I haven't been this excited for a movie in a while.
-
If that nickname is not taken yet, get to it bitches.
-
Unless you already have a wolfman image lying around and want stuff that the press gets for free. If you do have a wolfman image already, I'm guessing you already have the DVD release as well.
-
That it's rated-R. None of this PG-13 shit. A wolfman without some gore is like, like a vampire without fangs. Oh. Nevermind.

Are they talking about this poster? http://tinyurl.com/yh4tbuo

400+ pound fat-ass Wolfman, sitting naked on the couch eating Nacho Cheese Doritos...
