Can you take the same panel and re-create into another continuity?

I have several drawings of EJ Su's work from the "ation" series that I've done. They aren't at different angles or anything, but they are my own work. I'll submit them and see if they qualify.

No, the idea is to see what the panel would look like if you had drawn the comic.

curiosity begs the question: What about different designs for the characters in the panel, for example, I'm doing the panel from Marvel G1 where Buster mentally disassembles Skyfire, but as I drew I noticed my take on Skyfire looks a lot more like Classics Jetfire, same character, really... but the design's a lot different... is this ok, or do I need to keep the character designs the same?

Yes I think this will qualify. The whole point of this contest is to draw it in your own has if YOU drew the comic, so it should qualify if it is your own work. Besides, I'm only guessing on this but classics jetfire is basically g1 skyfire. Can't wait to see what you come up with! :grin:

They should qualify if they are your own work and re-create a 3 panel scene from a transformers comic that has already been mass-released. :grin:

As long as it's not Jet/Skyfieire of a different continuity like Armada or such it's OK.

here's my entry... hope we get more... I don't wanna win by default

and here's the photobucket link: http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk27 ... anel-1.png

this is from page 3 of the first issue of the Marvel comics Transformers, and the page where they receive their name. Though, no known characters were featured, I like to think the red Autobot is a young Ironhide

Don't worry Cliffjumper Prime, you're not gonna win by default. I already posted this in the other thread but I guess I can drop it here as well.

I was worried when I didn't see any entries, but then I realized I was in the wrong thread. Great job on yours! good luck!
