COCO CONTEST WINNER

First off, thanks to everyone who entered the contest, the response was quite literally overwhelming! I was glad to not need the tie breaking descriptions on the characters, as the winner with the only perfect scorecard was Chris Marciano. He'll receive the #1 print of the finished illustration, and a custom drawing of his choosing. Congrats! Also receiving prints are Joe Donnelly, Chris Taber, and Andy Pickens who each got just one wrong.

I'll be doing more contests like this in the future, so subscribe to my blog, snag the RSS, or follow me on Twitter to keep up on such things. If you did not win, and would still like a print of this piece, you can buy them HERE for just $20 (edition of 50).

This was a lot of fun guys, thanks so much for participating! I'll need help spreading this image out there and sharing with even more fans. Shoot me a comment and let me know how you liked the contest or just share some Conan links or something. I don't think I've ever had so much fun looking for photo reference before. I highly recommend googling some of these characters' videos just for fun.
