Riot Shell Contest Winners

Riot Shell had a contest last month I believe (maybe it was January) where fans could submit their artwork for their art to be featured in Riot Shell #0. There was an overwhelming number of submissions it seems; however, only six could be chosen as winners. Those six are Maurice Odede, Adam Braun, Charles Hearn, Terry Pavlet, Juan Fioramonti and Dexter Wee. Maurice has the extra distinction of being the grand prize winner, netting him an original Unholy Union #1 page by Michael Broussard. For the scores of other entries that didn't win you're getting a second shot! A new contest is going that's due to expire April 30 where one lucky artist will get their work on the cover of Riot Shell #1. That issue will also start the sequential art contest where artists will decide what happens next in the story of Riot Shell. Interested candidates should mail their submissions to fans@comicidolonline.com. Full press release and winning images after the jump.
