Does anyone know when the results are going to be announced? I didn't get chance to enter, but I'd love to know who won and see the entries.

Hello Everyone!
Note to self: Allow at least 1 (one) week for future nontest judging (sorry guys)

2. The wallpapers are located off the front page under: Wallpapers; Platinum; Civil War Nontes
3. Simply click the link of wallpaper(s) you like and save to your phone!

So now for the results!

Zac:

By Marina Guenther
I chose the marina2 one. The one where I'm doing the heart thing with my fingers.

Riot:

By David Olson
I'm going to go with David_Olsen.jpg. I really like the actiony team-pose, and the colors are great. It just has a really cool comic book feeling overall.

Volte6: (Dylan)

By Robert Toombs
Love the tone, great art, and would look kick ass on a phone!

Howard K. Brodwin (VP Digital Publishing)

By Jenny Lui
I have selected Jenny Lui's because I believe it best ties together the theme of Drunk Duck and the knock-down, drag-out, battle royale that we have come to embrace as the Civil War.

Plus, it looks like Zac has on a pink bra over his black t-shirt.

And his hair is nice.

Carly Mizzou (Creepy Lady):

By Bran LeFaye
This was a tough one as I had *two* favorites, but I decided to go with Bran LeFaye's Stab for the Cause . I like the dark tone and character design. That chic looks just as psycho as I am, BRILLIANT!

Matt Jacobs (Digital Content Guy)

By Tom Rainford
Tom Rainford wins my vote for best Civil War background. The art is clean with vibrant colors and the character collage gives a sense of excitement and action, which to me is what the Civil War is all about. Great work!

I will post comics/usernames tomorrow, as well as a few of the runner ups. A big thanks to everyone who entered, it was a lot of fun for all to check out your DD Civil War wallpapers.

Yay! They're up :D

Wow, I apparently didn't give a reason for my choice. I chose it because I felt it captured my overall stance of “love” in the Civil War, and it's uber adorable.

Marina's is indeed adorable~

And YAY! Thanks so much! I'm a bit surprised that mine was picked! Thank you!

Can't wait to see the runner-ups. :D

zac is the most drawn out DD member :)

I am like, sooo bord


:sleepy:

Bored?! BORED!? who's bored? Not I! as I have runner upers!

GO GO Fighting Icon Force!

Stone Evans:


and that's all I'm going to post for now. There were so many great pieces of art submitted, again thanks everyone!

…actually, we're the fiercesome icon fivesome or something like that. I forget why we're spelled fiercesome. Maybe to stress the point that we are so fierce.

Fighting Icon Force sounds a hell of a lot cooler though. Maybe we should get a name change.

I liked suzi's wallpaper!!

Wow! These are great guys! The amount of talent at this site never fails to amaze me!

Yes we had loads of fun judging. It was great a few even made my boss laugh himself to tears (it was great!)
We will be having another nontest soon! Maybe something to focus on of the writers here. (in comics isn't it the artists that get all the fun?)

thanks for picking mine :)

congrats to all the winners and runner's up!
