What did you use for colours - is that pencil crayon with a touch of watercolour? Or do you have a set of those fancy 'watercolor pencil crayons'?

I can't draw worth *SQUEE* but i'm going to do one anyway. Maybe they'll give out a prize for worst art or art that looks the most like a 5 year old drew it :D

I say throw caution to the wind and enter regardless of any talent or lack thereof, a fan is a fan is a fan, and Valiant loves us all, and maybe they will pick your art regardless. 8-)

Here's my final Flamingo:

I used those fancy pants watercolor pencils for the color. I'm still learning how to use them. The paper I used was not heavy enough for the water.

I've got a post up at OTV about Fan Art Friday:

The more I draw, the more it comes back. Who could have thought that drawing a lot would make someone better at drawing?

Lotsa great stuff over there - lovin' the full Flamingo pic!

Uh... I'm getting a little worried though - can any of you guys see my Bloodshot/RAI at #fanartfriday or #summerofvaliant? It seems to have disappeared - I can't see it in the top images feed at all!!!

@valiantcomics re-tweeted it yesterday when I put up my version with some colour, so they've seen it, but... where is it??!! Am I gonna miss out on this??? GAH!!!

Help!!

Incorrect! Tweeting something for a second time is different from retweeting a previous tweet.

Set up a twitter account and I'll show you :D

I dig that style. I'm hoping for some variant covers sort like that. Chris Giarusso/Amy Mebberson/Laurie B/Agnes Garboskwa/Katie Cook-esgue would be cool.
