It's Carson :-)

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?

haha! Ooops, sorry Carson! :oops:

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!

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:

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.

Yeah two from me, one from the NYCC week there was no #FAF and a new one, I decided to group them together.

That X-O was really cool.

I dunno if I do one this week or not, I'm a bit burnt out.

Dude! You should have saved one for this week so you could take a break and still contribute.

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.

Thats cool - I sometimes think I have either a tasteless sense of humour, or at least one that is too quirky to relate to.

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. Although, it just looks like no one is working the twitter account at all today - there has not been a peep out of them!

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.

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

You did it great man. it's pretty close. I'm pretty difficult to offend it usually takes disrespect, racism or homophobia. And I have a good sense of humor about myself because I know i'm at least half crazy :lol:
