Salutations, dA folks!
No, I ain't dead! Actually, I am alive and kicking, sometimes quite violently.
I've been EMPLOYED. OMG! It's true! EMPLOYED!
By a game development company, no less!
Anyway! I've been as busy as a busy thing, but I thought I'd drop in an say hi. (Hi!). Also I thought there are some AMAZING artists on my flist, so some of you might be interested in the following art competition (seeing as how it's, like, Christmas Vacation 'n all.).
The COMPETITION
Iron Grip has released a new story-driven blog called Iron Grip Shards
[link] about two characters from its popular fictional universe. To celebrate, we are running an Art Competition! The rules are simple - create an illustration of the opening scenes from Beryl or Lisetta's story, and submit it to us by
January 5th.
The first place winner will receive
$300 into a paypal account (if you don't have paypal, we'll send you amazon vouchers instead). Five runner-ups will receive a
$20 Amazon voucher.
You can see character art in the gallery

To submit your entries, please email a LINK to your image to
suzie@isotx.com with the subject line IRON GRIP SHARDS ART COMPETITION, or send a note via the dA system with a link to the appropriate deviation.
All artwork will go into our gallery, with a link to your website or dA page. The best artwork will be used to illustrate our blog entries!
We'll also be keeping an eye out for amazing talent to commission on a regular basis - so this isn't just an art competition, it might be your ticket into the business!
