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.
