PixelFish – very nice!

I’m still hoping I have a chance, but you are going to be tough to beat.

Chris :-)

It occurs to me you are in Australia, and I am still working on my piece. But since you are a day ahead, is the deadline the 21st your time? Does that mean that I have until tonight?

Not sure if the comments are moderated. If not, I didn’t post. If so, then please delete this repeat.

[...] The Last Colony – a banner I did for John Scalzi’s new book out in stores on April 27th, as part of a contest. [...]

I got rid of the horrid text so you can actually read it now. Also, if you click on the pic, it’ll take you to a page where you can select the pic and few it full size.

Christian, I really like yours as well!

No limit. As many entries as you’d like.

Muahaha! I live in infamy! (I am working on an entry or two, because well, I actually have several ideas….but my primary entry is not yet done. Jonathan, is there a limit to the number of entries?)

I think those look pretty darn good Kate! Nice work, and I would never have guessed that you used MS paint.

I thought this was a tough challenge. Without having read the book, there’s no way to guess what happens, or what should be included in the image. I was tempted to go with generic spaceships and so forth – but had much more fun than I thought I would trying to imagine what Zoe and Jane would look together. And I added my favorite quote from The Ghost Brigades as a tag line.

I too am expecting that some graphic artist will beat us both to a pulp. If PixelFish comes back with an entry we are both toast.

Hi there! I’m always up for a creative challenge and even though I know some awesome graphic artist will beat me to a pulp on this contest, I humbly submit the following for consideration. :)

Done with none other than mspaint. (cackles)

Something that promotes The Last Colony. It could be a web banner, a comic, a poster. An image. The point of the exercise is that I’d like to raise awareness of John’s book through the competition. So, make a cool TLC image, and that’ll do the job.

When you say promotional image, do you mean like a promotional poster? Or does fan art count too?
