Runic Games, the creator of the action RPG Torchlight, is holding a fan art contest. The winner gets a Penny Arcade strip, signed by the dev team. One interesting piece is that they mentioned you can participate without any artistic talent (like me!). A fan site is also holding a contest.
It seems that you can use Photoshop's ink filter with a screenshot and bam, comic strip. That is really cool, anyone know if Gimp can do the same?
Runic Games Fansite, aptly named, is holding a modding contest. Winners get prizes like a free copy of Torchlight and a t-shirt signed by the developers. If you have been interested in modding, this would be a perfect time to do it. For details, head over here.
