dear participants,

you all have decided and the poll has been closed!
the theme for our official fan art contest is:

THE MEANEST EVIL VILLAIN (male or female, it's up to you...)

here are the rules:

• the artworks will have to be originally hand-drawn.
  a little photoshop enhancement is allowed, though.
  
  EDIT: there will be TWO categories: "digital art" and "hand-drawn"!
  -----
• your art should refer to a villain taken from a classic/old game.
  please notify which game you're referring to.
  -----
• all contributions will be collected in this thread.
  each participant can only submit ONE artwork.
  only the first piece is valid! any further submission will be disregarded.
  -----
• you will have one month for working on your stuff, so the deadline is
  wednesday, 23th march, 21:00 CET.
  -----
• we already selected a prize/givaway...but it will be a secret until
  a few days before the contest ends...to keep you curious :)
  (be assured, it'll be a nice award!)

in case you have any further questions, simply write a pm to void or me.
(but if it should be required, we will open a separate thread for further
help/instructions - let us know)

please use this thread for submissions only!
for comments or questions about the contest you can use
the contest help/support thread. thanks!

we wish you good luck for your work!
be inspired...we're looking forward to your art! :ok:

regards,
the void & strobe

Heihachi Mishima from Tekken

I think it belongs to digital art category as it is only drawn by hand to edit it on the PC. To decide which font I should take has driven me mad.
