Thanks to everyone who voted on the Sonic the Hedgehog Game Art Challenge There were SO many great submissions, each with their own charms that it was even tough to figure out the tally for the winners! So really there were no losers. But based on the votes here are the winners:
1st Place: By Sean Kelley

2nd Place: By Marc Ruiner, mars_malice

3rd Place:
 By Michael Bowen, zap199x
4th Place: By James Mar

The first 3 winners get awesome prizes and the all 4 of them will be added to the Life Meter online gallery and possibly appear in a future print anthology. Congrats!! Be on the lookout for the next Game Art Challenge later this year! |

Hey gang, because of some technical difficulties... I'm extending the current Life Meter Game Art Challenge!
So if you were thinking of something cool but ran out of time...you are in luck!
NEW DEADLINE: October 18th, 2007
So just a reminder...
Choose between the following 3 games: Nights into Dreams (Saturn or Wii) Fire Emblem (can't be interacting with Super Smash Bros envioronments or characters!) Sonic the Hedgehog (any of the actual videogames. No cartoon or comic versions!)
DEADLINE: October 18th, 2007 4 Prizes: -$15 via Paypal. -Sonic the Hedgehog stuffed toy. -Fire Emblem for Nintendo Gamecube, -Nights promo Pillowcase.
Rules: Anyone can submit a drawing or comic.
Comics will get preferential treatment and have a better chance at winning!
It can be cool, cute, funny, crazy. Art is fine in black & white or color. You can enter in as many entries as you want for as many of the 4 games that you want. Don't hate us if your entry doesn't win. If only one person enters they automatically get one of the non-cash prizes. If no one contributes a drawing by the deadline we'll move on to the next challenge with different games. But it's more fun if people enter of course! Spread the word!

Time to announce the prize winning artists for the first ever LIFE METER GAME ART CHALLENGE It was hard to pick the best because all the entries were good! So we chose one winner and a runner up for each of the remaining games. All of them got to choose a prize. And 2 of the 3 pieces will be included in the next Life Meter print anthology. Exciting, aye? So without further ado,
THE WINNING COMIC IS… “Streets of Rage" by Curt Franklin and Chris Haley

This had the distinct advantage of being an actual comic strip (always encouraged on Life Meter) and being funny. Maybe also a bit existential too?
Here’s some info about the fine people who made it:
CURT FRANKLIN reads comics and plays video games in Memphis, TN. He hopes to break into comics so he can drop out of Med school and to one day eat an apple. Enjoy more of his wit and wisdom at http://octavepark.blogspot.com CHRIS HALEYhas more important things to do than capitalize his name. Like digging Superman and being a rock star. The creator of "Wolf-Pop & Tiger Claw", he says stuff that you should read and posts pretty pictures at hiptoday.blogspot.com
1st RUNNER UP “Golden Axe” by JAMES MAR

James Says: Thongs and bikinis aren’t exactly the smartest things to wear when you’re going into battle. But they sure look damn good! LOL. At least on the girl it does anyway. I still have Golden Axe II for the Sega Genesis. The two player action made it a popular choice for lots of game time for me and my bros back in the day.
2ND RUNNER UP… “Phantasy Star” by nemissa aka LAUREN NICOLO

---Thanks to everyone who entered! Stay tuned for info about the NEXT Life Meter Game Art Challenge! There will be new games to choose from and new prizes to win! |
