deviantART hosts Darksiders art contest
deviantART today is running Darksiders: These Are Your Last Days Contest, which revolves around the upcoming action-adventure game from THQ, Darksiders. The contest will challenge deviantART’s online community of millions to create artwork depicting an apocalypse of their own design. The winners will be personally selected by Joe Madureira, comic book artist and Creative Director at Vigil Games, the development studio behind the game. Darksiders is scheduled to be available January 5, 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Artists interested in this contest can submit their entries online to win a number of prizes, including an Xbox 360 or a PS3, American Express gift cards up to $1000, copies of the Darksiders video game, as well as other Darksiders and deviantART merchandise and memorabilia.
