C.R.A.S.H. Fanart
Well, I'm pleased to say that I've actually gotten some fans. And some of them happen to be ar-teests! Have a look at some C.R.A.S.H. readers' renditions of their favorite characters.
WARNING: I link to some folks' DeviantArt accounts and websites. I take no responsibility for what these artists post there, so if they also have some mature art on their accounts, don't blame me. Then again, DA has maturity filters, so you probably won't need to worry, but be aware that I still take no responsibility for what you see on DA nonetheless.
Artistical Cosmical Fanart #1 and Fancomic #1
Artistical Cosmical here was the first person who sent me any (non-commissioned) fanart, as well as the first person who sent me a fancomic! The latter was particularly helpful when I was majorly in need of a filler. This guy truly rocks. :) He says he's willing to do requests for free, so if you'd like to make a request, send him an e-mail at mousatoure@yahoo.com or contact him through DeviantArt at http://ac-drawings.deviantart.com/ .
Jurassic-Gothic Draws Our Heroes
I made a request on the Wotch forums to get a bit of fanart, and Jurassic-Gothic responded. Here's a drawing of my characters in a more realistic light. I really like how he made Cannon's armor look; it's awesome! If you wanna see more of his art, go check out his DeviantArt account: http://jurassic-gothic.deviantart.com/
A Very C.R.A.S.H.-tastic Christmas
At the Wotch forums during the holidays, they have a Secret Santa art exchange, in which everyone draws art for another person involved in the exchange. I got some fanart of my characters from Jonathan Urquhart, the artist behind the webcomic Super Teen Angst. I've always been a super-festive sap for the holidays, and in this picture, it seems that our heroes are, too! It seems the fact that Cannon is Jewish hasn't kept him from swiping one of Belt Boy's candy canes... heh heh! I may need to use the term "C.R.A.S.H.-tastic" in the future sometime; it has a nice ring to it!
Another Wotch forumer, Elijah Sight produced this piece of art shortly after becoming a fan of my comic. I'm not sure why Belt Boy's holding a pie (I'm more of a cake person, myself)... perhaps it's his latest method of semi-cartoonish, nonviolent weaponry? If so, it looks like whoever's viewing the picture better duck! Here's pie in your eye!
Birthday 2008 Fanart
I had a little contest in April/May of 2008, in which I announced a fanart contest. Whoever sent me the coolest fanart by my birthday (May 19th) would get an awesome prize! I got 4 submissions from 3 artists; see for yourself!
"The Paper Waster" isn't the name of a Captain Planet villain... but the name of an artist. And not just any artist; the artist who won my 2008 Birthday Fanart contest! He actually submitted TWO pieces of art, but he didn't need the second one, as the first was good enough to win the prize. But check 'em both out; they're great pictures of Belt Boy and Cannon. Congrats, dude!
Birthday Bandages by Bryan's Band Aid Boy
This picture was done by a good friend of mine from college, named Bryan. Apparently, this picture has something to do with a character of his known as "Band Aid Boy". Don't be surprised if my rendition of this silly character winds up as a part of my comic, at least making a cameo. He'll probably be in the nurse's office...
Someone by the name of Ecchi Kitty sent me this picture. I felt that it teeters on the edge of what is appropriate for this comic, but in the end I decided it was okay to be posted. He says he doesn't have a scanner, but hopes to rectify this soon. Hopefully, it'll be in time for my birthday next year (assuming I do this contest again next year). Good thing this picture is non-canonical... as the guy talking to Titanium Maiden might be in need of some help from Band Aid Boy soon...!
