Yaira #1 Fan Art Contest – Enter by April 23rd

By Jen & Sylvia Soska

The Rippaverse is now accepting entries into the Yaira #1 Fan Art Competition! That’s right; the highly successful Rippaverse Fan Art Competition is back with cash prizes and even an opportunity for commissioned work at The Rippaverse. Do you love comics? Have you been looking for an opportunity to get your art in front of an audience? How about working for one of the fastest-growing independent comic companies in North America today? Well, look no further because this is that very opportunity!

 

The winner of our last contest, which ran during the Isom #2 campaign, was Michael Montenat, who has been commissioned to draw the interior art for the highly-anticipated Bloodruth #1, written by horror directors Jen & Sylvia Soska and is slated to be out later this year. His NORFRICA entry grabbed everyone’s attention and earned him the top-place prize. When the black and white inked pages of Bloodruth were first revealed as part of the Yaira #1 campaign benchmarks, the fans even requested a version of the graphic novel with only the black and white artwork from Michael. Though that hasn’t been formally revealed, The Rippaverse is known for striving to give the fans what they want, so we may hear more soon!

But what else is in it for you? “Didn’t you mention something about cash prizes,” you say? You are darn right; I did. Fourth place gets $200 USD, third place gets $300 USD, second place gets $500, and first place gets $1000 USD—as well as a pinup/cover or long-term interior/sequential work worth up to $23000 USD. Every winner also receives the Yaira #1 “I Want It All” pack.

The competition ends on April 23, 2024. You must fill out the form on rippaverse.com/fanart and attach your artwork as a PNG or JPG file with a size below 10MB. You can also select the ‘View accepted submissions here’ prompt to see other submitted entries.

We want to see your artwork! Fortune favors the brave; seize this chance to show off your talent and share your work with fans who love comic books!
