Note: Listen up, P:R hopefuls! Both the deadlines for the Green Lantern: Emerald Ensemble contest and the Fan-Art Friday: Beast are imminent. All entries for Green Lantern: Emerald Ensemble are due in by 5pm Eastern time on May 16, 2013. Fan-Art Friday: Beast entries are due at 5pm Eastern time today, May 15, 2013. Good luck! – Chris A.
Note: Batman may have the biggest wardrobe closet in all of superhero comics, but Marvel’s Beast seems to be the one that goes through the most transformation. With him recently evolving to a more ape-like look in the pages of All-New X-Men, we thought it time to celebrate the various incarnations of Dr. Henry McCoy in our next Fan-Art Friday. Whether you like the classic blue furry look, the Quitely New X-Men design, the new Immonen design or the classic hairless variety, now is your chance to draw him. To prep yourself for this contest, we recommend reading Andrew Wheeler’s great ComicsAlliance article on the various faces of the Beast and get thinking. Artists of all stripes are encouraged to draw their rendition of Beast; the deadline for submissions is Wednesday, May 15 at 5pm Eastern time. Email them to us at projectrooftop@gmail.com with your full name, a link to your website/portfolio (if you have one). Make sure the images are under 1000 pixels wide, and are in either JPG, GIF or PNG formats. – Chris A.
Note: Wonder Woman is descended from gods, and it looks like she has a almost religious following from the artists who submitted to our Fan-Art Friday. We received over 120 entries into this Fan-Art Friday, including comic professionals, previous P:R contest winners and a host of super-talented newcomers. Look below, and tell us which ones are your favorite and why! – Chris A.

Note: Today’s the day – the deadline for our Fan-Art Friday: Wonder Woman is today at 1pm Eastern time. Full details can be found on the original post, and we plan to showcase all the entries next Friday! Here’s an old favorite — Daniel Irizarri‘s Wonder Woman for a full-scale JLA redesign he did for P:R. – Chris A.
Note: Like the dawning of a new day, Cliff Chiang and Brian Azzarello’s Wonder Woman series signaled a new era for fans of DC’s Amazon princess. With a bold new design that makes her equal parts warrior and woman, it’s been one of the shining lights of the New 52. And that’s why we’re celebrating it with our next Fan-Art Friday. Artists of all stripes are encouraged to draw their rendition of Wonder Woman; the deadline for submissions is Friday, March 29 at 1pm Eastern time. Email them to us at projectrooftop@gmail.com with your full name, a link to your website/portfolio (if you have one). Make sure the images are under 1000 pixels wide, and are in either JPG, GIF or PNG formats. – Chris A.
Note: I’m not a religious man, but from the outpouring of support for a particular Norse god I might have to reconsider. Our call for Thor fan-art beckoned forth a downpour of great art, from spirited amateurs to downright, stone-cold art professionals. I wanted to thank everyone for submitting to this one, especially the P:R newcomers who overcame obstacles and stage-fright to send it over. I have my favorites — who are yours? – Chris A.
Note: Last call for entries into Project: Rooftop’s Fan-Art Friday: Thor. Entries are due today at 5pm Eastern, and we hope to run them all Friday, February 15th barring any unforeseen events. To get those last-minute entries energized, here’s a favorite Thor piece of mine by Frank Cho. – Chris A.
Note: I once told Dean that I didn’t think anyone could top Olivier Coipel’s rendition of Thor, but the recent Thor: God Of Thunder series proved me wrong. Esad Ribic has turned in one of the most majestic and weathered Odinson’s in the character’s history, and that’s exactly why P:R started Fan-Art Friday. For Fan-Art Friday: Thor, the deadline for submissions is Monday, February 11th at 5pm Eastern time. Email them to us at projectrooftop@gmail.com with your full name and a link to your website/portfolio. Now bask in this excellent illustration of Thor from three different times in his life by Ribic. - Chris A.
Note: Last month we put out a call for fan-art of Rob Liefeld’s Glory based on the recent series by Ross Campbell and Joe Keatinge. And that call, it definitely got answers. Over the past month we’ve received renditions of Glory based on her original incarnation, Campbell’s new version, as well as left-field redesigns and even a My Little Pony version. Read on my friends, read on. – Chris A.
Note: Any character can be a great character, if the right creators involved. When it was announced that writer Joe Keatinge and artist Ross Campbell were reviving Rob Liefeld’s 90s heroine Glory for a new series, fans far-and-wide (me, included) gave it a skeptical look. But boy was I wrong. Keatinge really came into his own with this series, but I think Campbell’s contributions can’t be underplayed — especially in the character designs, chiefly Glory. So for our next Fan-Art Friday we want to celebrate Glory, the one-time Wonder Woman clone who grew — proverbially and physically — into a wholly unique and terrifying character. Artists of all stripes are encouraged to draw their rendition of Glory; the deadline for submissions is Friday, January 4th at 5pm Eastern time. Email them to us at projectrooftop@gmail.com with your full name and a link to your website/portfolio. To get your motor running, look at this excellent piece of Glory fan-art by Shrine Dust. – Chris A.
