I'm guessing they didn't promote it last week. They didn't retweet my entry or anything and I didn't hear any #fanartfriday buzz.
I might color and submit it again next time they call for entries.
I guess they don't do it every week?

my brain was typing carson, but clearly my fingers heard carter and typed that...
Its rare that they don't do it since they started up the tumblr this summer, but it happens - particularly on weeks they are at a big convention.
And yeah, color that guy up!

Re: Fan Art Fridays
I was going to try my hand at a Ninjako'lantern (there are no restictions on medium, I assume), but then I saw this comic-inspired gourd art, and gave up:

I don't have one lined up for this week, but I did just get another silly idea last night, while reading some VH1 Shadowman in the wee hours... so perhaps for next week.

Re: Fan Art Fridays
A little late here, but congrats to Carson for winning last week! Marrowman, you had a really cool XO/Shadowman crossover concept too.
Competition was a little sparse, looked like only 4 entries [including two from Marrow]... I hope they still continue to run it regularly.

Re: Fan Art Fridays
Doesn't seem like they're doing one today... guess I'll hold off tweeting mine until next week. But, I gotta share it here now - this one's been killing me!
It's a spoof of the original cover to VH1 Shadowman #24, with MarkRoseHfx playing the part of ROTWAK!!
I sincerely hope you aren't offended by this, Mark - it seemed like the perfect purely silly idea, with the new book out & a new movie in the works... it came to me last week as I was reading that issue. All meant in good fun, no mean-spirited intentions.
When I tweet it, I will make the caption;
"Mark Rose wants to be in the new Shadowman movie!"

I'm gonna wait and tweet my Pete VS Ion sketch until next time valiant promotes fan art Friday. I think they are doing it less regularly so there will be more entries.

I only had your tiny twitter profile pic to go on for reference, hope I got a decent likeness out of it

Good thinking Carson - more entries always make it way more fun, even if that means running it less often.

That raises an interesting point, I wonder who is in charge of their social media efforts? I bet its just one of many hats whomever it is wears.grendeljd wrote: Good thinking Carson - more entries always make it way more fun, even if that means running it less often.

Those guys are working hard and making amazing books. I sure hope its sustainable for them!
