2. Second place: Signed copies of The Black Prism and The Blinding Knife in trade paperback.
3. Third place: A signed copy of The Blinding Knife in trade paperback.
4. Fourth place: Two signed bookplates.

3. International entries are allowed and encouraged!
4. As long as the costume is materially yours, some Photoshop is fine (no presenting characters from movies or video games by putting a gloss of Photoshop on it and saying it’s your costume).
5. Two entries allowed per person, but you can only win once.
6. The subject line of the email must read: 2013 Costume Contest.
7. Address the email to: CAPSLOCK @ brentweeks.com (no spaces; and just like last year, Brent will be selecting the winners).
8. The costume must be family-friendly (as usual, we’d like to display the best entries on the website and can’t do that if it’s not appropriate for younger fans)
Winners will be announced on Monday, November 4, 2013.

New Fan Art!
by CAPSLOCK
Katrianna A. has submitted some original fan art depicting Durzo Blint. She notes that she based his features off Iain Glen, and this is awesome result:
I love how this looks so much like an oil painting; and from the blond hair to the enigmatic expression, this is Durzo Blint. You can see more of the artist’s work HERE!

Fan Art Submission #4
by CAPSLOCK
Now, a very special submission from artist Syku. He does freelance work in illustration and architecture visualization (you can see more of his work HERE). We’re very happy to have this piece from him depicting Jarl and Kylar meeting. I love the details he included from the book, such as Jarl’s elaborate microbraids and the posh interior you’d find at a place like Momma K’s:
Fan Art Submission #3

Here are two pieces by Emily E. featuring characters from Night Angel!
I love the bright colors and warm expressions on the first one:
I think Kylar’s eyes are really striking in this picture:
Graphic Novel Collaborators: Introducing Andy MacDonald and Ivan Brandon
As we’ve been releasing character sketches from the upcoming The Way of Shadows graphic novel, I’ve been working with two very talented artists on the script and illustrations. The process has been fun and more than a little creatively and intellectually challenging, but I’ve been consistently impressed by the caliber of their work, so I wanted to share a little more about them–and maybe lead you to some other projects you’ll enjoy:
IVAN BRANDON writes for a number of different entertainment mediums, among them film, animation and video games. He is arguably best known for his work in American comic books, where his scripts have been published by every major US publisher with translations all over the world. He lives in New York City. You can follow Ivan on twitter via @IvanBrandon.
ANDY MACDONALD is a veteran comic book artist who has worked with virtually every major comic book publishing house and was one of the co-creator’s of the series NYC Mech. He lives in Brooklyn, NY. You can follow him on twitter via @andymacdeez.
Here’s some illustrations Andy did for the graphic novel Zoo, by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge. (Click to embiggen)
And HERE’s a little project he did for fun with Marvel characters re-envisioned as high-fashion models.
