Description My dear watchers and watcherettes...

Last week was a very busy week, thus this update meant for Friday comes today.

This is another of the MiniMasterpieces that will go inside one of the special FREE MARS: Collected Edition. An it also serves as an example of what the winner of our contest will be getting from me!
Sam, as you know, is my favorite of the three, and I love drawing her big, inquisitive eyes. Both pairs As our creative consultant nd Editor, Chris Borer remarked upon seeing Sam's latest outfit: "It just occurred to me how… ‘bouncy’ Sam’s outfit would be whilst drumming. Bonus points."

We announced the contest results with this Friday's update, and I'm happy to say that there were a lot of deviants to consider. The prices, though, went as follows (in the words of Dave):

Nic’s choice was Muse and ‘Resistance.’ That came from Saguinius on deviantArt. Muse would definitely be on the ‘Free Mars’ soundtrack. Which is actually the only thing ‘Free Mars’ has in common with ‘Twlight.’ Though I guess that one vampire (Ashley Greene) would make a good Shade Endgame, but I digress.

The first runner-up came in the form of an electronic mail from Major Tom. He chose ‘In the Flesh’ by Pink Floyd. Nic and I thought that this worked really well. Classic song that seemed to fit in with the theatrical environs. The second runner-up is basically an award for paying attention- Gillsing with his suggestion of Veruca Salt and ‘Volcano Girls.’

So, Kim, Saguinius and MajorTom and Gillsing all get copies of the print compilation. Email us with your address (or we’ll get a hold of you).

But the winner, as decided by Nic and I together, was Coxy (theRedBeard) on deviantArt with ‘I Fought the Law.’ The Clash, the Dead Kennedys, Green Day, etc. One of the most covered songs in history, I believe. So it makes sense that punk bands are still playing it in 2339. Thanks, Coxy. We’ll be in touch about your original piece as done by one NRG!

So, there you have it. I'll be contacting ~Coxy-the-RedBeard soon to see which character he'd like his portrait to feature and I'll make sure to post it here for all to see.

Enjoy and thank you all for partcipating!

Nic.-

I very nearly chose Sam for the mini masterpiece, before going for the Vex. It was a tough choice

I still got a sweet spot for Taryn (both the name and the character) i have to say,more over with the last piece you did

But i have to say that you did something over time with the SG universe,and its that you seem much more 'free' with your art.I dont know how to really explain it,but its your work and you look like you're really into this project,and it can be sensed in your recent pages and mini-Ms.There's something so much more alive in those 'life-frames',almost like they're caught in the moment,a candid shot in the lives of the SG crew.Its great.

Im really glad you managed to find a path like that,i hope it helps you overcome your life troubles too mate

Take the best of care.-

One thing I love about all three of the portraits you've done of the girls is how you've managed to capture so much character and personality in each one, a rare talent.

Lucky guy. Good choices all around. Sam has very pretty eyes. And yes, I'm looking at them.
