Even the crudest artists may enter!

Wednesday marked the long awaited launch of Awesomenauts on Xbox LIVE Arcade, and we've teamed up with developers Ronimo Games and Sonic Picnic to offer you some frankly brilliant swag! We're offering two winners the chance to bag a superb collectible vinyl emblazoned with the goodness of Awesomenauts. Feast your eyes on this!

That's some first class swag right there. If you want to be in with a chance of winning, you're going to need to get creative. We want you to to design us your very own Awesomenaut - that consists of a quick sketch and a bio - and we'll be asking Ronimo Games for their two favourites.

If you need reminding on just how damned amazing the music for this title is, check out the intro video below from the title. It'll knock your socks off:

So when it comes to designing your own Awesomenaut, perhaps you could use existing Awesomenauts for inspiration? To recap, there's Froggy G, Yuri, Voltar, Leon Chameleon, Clunk and Sheriff Lonestar.

We're not looking for the next Walt Disney here, just get creative and put pen to paper as it were! A degree in drawing is certainly not required! Also don't worry too much about how you get the info digitised, we're cool with scanned drawings, photographs, computer generated files, you name it. Just please include your Gamertag and the text TrueAchievements - Design Your Own Awesomenaut. We wouldn't want you plagiarising now, would we? Submissions can be e-mailed to myself through davie[at]trueachievements.com

In the case of computer generated files, you may be required to provide a source file to show it's not a copy/paste of someone else's work. As always read up on the full rules and regulations below, and then it's time to get cracking!

If you need even more inspiration, perhaps you should queue up the demo, or spend 800MSP on the full title?
