Wuahaha this is right down my alley ^___^ you guys know I love doing fan art <3

Posted at 8:04PM, Apr. 10, 2007

Eeee, how exciting!

.. I was just thinking. 'Zac and Riot' sounds like one of those household name kind of things. Like Ren and Stimpy. They'll go global!

Posted at 8:04PM, Apr. 10, 2007

Oooo you should draw a promotional picture for that household hehe
Now I have to come up with something, now I have to be all secret like >.>; jk

I'm gonna try to join… But I'm having real problems with my computer at the moment, so it all depends on if Photoshop will love me or not!

If I can find a few hours away from school work, then I'm in all the way.
*loathing this semester*

Sounds like another project to work on during Economics class. (Yeah, I do 76% of my drawings in Eco class…)

We only allowed to make one entry? Ya know…just in case I make a few more.

Aye, the fourth was a team Zac picture with 5 teamates. But I couldn't draw Ozone very well no matter how much I practiced and I even tried Dante.

Well, it saved me the time of sending all the PQs asking for permission anywayz. I'll just finish it on my own time and post it somewhere else. ^_^

Posted at 9:04PM, Apr. 23, 2007

Ooo you definately have to post when you finish O.O I wanna see heh

Hello Everyone!
Note to self: Allow at least 1 (one) week for future nontest judging (sorry guys)
Below are the results of the Civil War Fan Art Nontest! But first, how you get these on your phone:

1. On your phone, in your browser visit: comics.wap.com
2. The wallpapers are located off the front page under: Wallpapers; Platinum; Civil War Nontes
3. Simply click the link of wallpaper(s) you like and save to your phone!

So now for the results!

Zac:

By Marina Guenther
I chose the marina2 one. The one where I'm doing the heart thing with my fingers.

Riot:

By David Olson
I'm going to go with David_Olsen.jpg. I really like the actiony team-pose, and the colors are great. It just has a really cool comic book feeling overall.

Volte6: (Dylan)

By Robert Toombs
Love the tone, great art, and would look kick ass on a phone!

Howard K. Brodwin (VP Digital Publishing)

By Jenny Lui
I have selected Jenny Lui's because I believe it best ties together the theme of Drunk Duck and the knock-down, drag-out, battle royale that we have come to embrace as the Civil War.

Plus, it looks like Zac has on a pink bra over his black t-shirt.

And his hair is nice.

Carly Mizzou (Creepy Lady):

By Bran LeFaye
This was a tough one as I had *two* favorites, but I decided to go with Bran LeFaye's Stab for the Cause . I like the dark tone and character design. That chic looks just as psycho as I am, BRILLIANT!

Matt Jacobs (Digital Content Guy)

By Tom Rainford
Tom Rainford wins my vote for best Civil War background. The art is clean with vibrant colors and the character collage gives a sense of excitement and action, which to me is what the Civil War is all about. Great work!

I will post comics/usernames tomorrow, as well as a few of the runner ups. A big thanks to everyone who entered, it was a lot of fun for all to check out your DD Civil War wallpapers.

CONGRATS RinaRan(? It looks like her style but I'm not 100% sure?), Acadia, Rob, BlackKitty, Freux, and MonkeyMafia~!! The pictures are kickbutt ^-^

Posted at 11:04AM, Apr. 30, 2007

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap.

Posted at 4:04PM, Apr. 30, 2007

Congratulations to all!

And yes Celrena, Zac's choice is my entry. Hooray! I'm gonna go download some of them…if I can *doesn't understand her phone all that well*

Any chance we get to see the other entries as well? =3

Posted at 4:05PM, May. 1, 2007

I like how the majority of the winners were characters on Zac's side. With 5 of 6 having Zac's side characters in it, and half consisting only of Zac's side. We win. ;P

…I was utterly incapable of finding time to scan and/or ink/tone/or color anything for entries. TT_TT I guess that's just more filler images for my event comic…

Posted at 6:05PM, May. 1, 2007

I love everyone's stuff here! especially Dante's…. but maybe I'm just biased cause he made me look awesome…. I'm aloud to be biased.
