Just got the print proofs in the mail today. So the book is approved and ready for distribution. The print version has pages and artwork not seen anywhere online. If you order now, you can get a signed copy, with a sketch. After April, the signed version will not be available. Thanks to all of those of you who have come back week after week for new pages. So what’s next? Well, stay tuned for an announcement!

I truly want to thank everyone that participated. I hadn’t anticipated the hardest part for me : having to judge which artwork would win. If I could, I would send you all a copy of the book, because you’re all amazing to give your time and show off your skills. But I’ve committed to selecting 3 winners, and that’s what I’m sticking to!
So these 3 winners are going to get to choose book 1 or 2. I’ve already contacted you by email or facebook. So send me your address and your selection, and I’ll send them out tomorrow.
Joost Haakman
The thing that stood out to me with this one was the mood. Also, this is a scene that hasn’t happened yet! It tells a story and captures the characters really well. Rin especially looks like he’s showing off his tough ninja skills in this pose.
Jose Sebastian G.L.
Mao usually doesn’t rage this hard, but there was so much care put into the chains and the pillar, and the shaping of the hair that I had to recognize this one. The energy is undeniable!
Andy Genen
Andy is practically a master of capturing gesture and attitude in his characters poses. The expression on Arn’s face is priceless.
For everyone that participated, again I want to thank you! Seeing all of your different styles and interpretations, you’ve made the characters even more “real” to me.

The fan art contest comes to a close. I haven’t made any decisions yet about the winner. Needless to say, this is a tough contest to judge! Only a few will win a book, but in my heart, you’re all winners. I will be sending out emails sometime this week for those of you who won.
At the last moment, we had a few more entries!
