Yes indeed it's gorgeous. I'm going to turn my spare bedroom into a comic book themed room mainly focused on Valiant. But I think that bad boy is going up in my living room because it's too awesome.

Just in time for the New Year, I got mine last night :thumb: Gonna put this beauty up on the wall in my drawing studio :D

(Unfortunately mine was damaged in the mail - it has a little tear on the black border, but thankfully it wasn't long enough to affect the image)

And yes, pixierosa - get back into the #faf!! The more, the merrier!!

^^ Coolness, thanks for posting all those here, Mark. You definitely outdid yourself this week with your painting... Though there should have been a cat claw reaching down for the bird to really make it a 'classic' Mark Rose piece :lol:

I was pretty silent this week but I made sure to at least favourite all the entries I saw yesterday. The Shadowman marker pic by @Chealsmeach was great.

I also encourage anyone glancing at this thread to go check out the official Valiant Fan Art Tumblr page right now - there is a really spectacularly coloured 'Lady XO' pic at the top by 'gunkiss'. Go see!!

Also, just wanted to give props to that @ValianceDave guy - he is trying to resurrect his own Valiant fanzine from the original VH1 days. Anybody here who is 'On The Twitt' should follow him for support!

That's funny and totally something I was thinking for a new logo design for "Purrby" :lol: Besides I can't do cats every single time. Yeah I could actually it's not like it's hard.

and thanks man i'm glad it's at least not super crappy. hopefully it'll look a little snazzier after I varnish it.

Her pic was amazing I loved it. I don't think I could ever make something that cool with just a marker.

I just saw that Lady X-O pic last night on tumblr...it's freaking awesome. And I second what you said about Valiance Dave he's cool.

I threw down a fast one today for #faf - got super inspired by Mico's drawings in Harbinger Zero. This is a pencil sketch with a little extra digital manipulation in photoshop;

I love some of these sketches, and especially seeing which ones come from VF members.

Do they give out prizes every Friday? I just started entering the Fan Art Friday last week and didn't see any announcements concerning who won. Not that I think I won, but it would be nice to know.

They don't do them every Friday, but most. and usually they announced winners right on twitter sometime the next week. However my gf got a prize from the one two fridays ago and they just DM'd her. So it probably depends on who's running the Valiant twitter at the time or something like that.

Edit- my mistake they did apparently tweet announcing she won I misunderstood her when she told me about it
