I thought of this minor contest while in the chatroom earlier.
The gist of it is, that people draw/paint/assemble some form of concept art -- and the winning entry is turned into a full model by me, and released.
It would be a one-off compo, theme being based around mechanics (of course) -- a vehicle; a giant robot, small robot, legged, wheeled, hovering, perhaps structures; turrets, factories...
For my part, all I would need is a companion to do texture(s) for the final piece (who could, of course, not participate in the competition).
The 'winner' would be judged not only on their drawing/painting/assembling skill, but in the goodness of their idea (ie not carbon-copied off Starcraft); and how well they get that idea across in a single image (that is, the image is clear/concise enough to make assembling a model from it relatively easy).
Participants might be disqualified for ripping straight off other games (including, but not limited to, Starcraft), or for making designs that would be completely impossible to make/animate.
How to judge: a public poll (after impossible entries have been discounted, as above).

So, comments, potential participation levels...?
