Grendeljd, as I said on Twitter today, "Wow!"

I really do think it may the best piece I've ever seen you do! It's phenomenal.

It was back for last week, anyway - I think the guys just get busy &/or let the contest lay at rest every so often. There is usually a good rejuvenation of participants every time they start doing it again for a good stretch.

And thanks for all the kind words, everyone - I ended up winning this weeks mystery prize :D

Even better, I received either direct compliments, likes or fav's across a few social media apps from several VEI staff members, & creators Matt Kindt, Paolo Rivera, Cary Nord, & Doug Wheatley! :cloud9:

Did anyone here participate this week? I got a fun idea to do through some Twitter interactions last week, but I'm currently working on an illustration that is becoming time sensitive, so I did not hop on the Fan Art Friday train this time.

I did see some cool entries, not sure if I saw them all though...

This past Friday was a great #fanartfriday week - it was an all Bloodshot theme! Lots of entries, I know we had at least two board members participate (Marrowman & Dr. Solar). The art is now being posted to their all new tumblr account, if anyone wants to take a peek;

There is currently a whole bunch of Ninjak fanart at the top of the feed, they are having an official big Ninjak fanart contest with some major prize packages. I can't join in that one because its for US residents only.

I drew this two fridays ago, but forgot to post here. There wasn't an official Valiant #fanartfriday online that week, but I did this as a little warm up & shared it anyway.

I saw this yesterday, but completely failed to realize it was posted in the fan art thread and was by grendeljd!

I thought it was actual VEI original art!

Dino/Warren, give this man some work!

There hasn't been an official one since they did the Bloodshot themed one a few weeks ago. I just post my pics on Fridays anyway if I happen to do one.

And you will usually see them announce it officially on either Twitter or Facebook, Moots!

Hey!! There was a fantastic Bloodsquirt themed official Fan Art Friday contest this past week - anybody want to share their pics here? I know I saw something from board members Marrowman & Jaiden-Sai on Twitter at least!

I missed out on participating because I was away in Mexico (I know, it's soo unfortunate :P )

Oh man - Valiant has been doing an official #FAF on Twitter the last two weeks in a row, with specific themes too (XO Wedding, then Bloodshot).

I haven't been able to participate due to other art projects I'm working on - but did anyone here have any contributions they're willing to share in this thread? I know I saw entries from Marrowman, JonesyAZ & Lemoots...
