Fan Eric Tortora Pato sent us some super-cool fan art that’s just too awesome not to share.

First up we have this hip-hop style portrait of Tally’s R2D2 cosplay. As a competitive b-boy (retired, so don’t ask me to demonstrate it) I especially appreciate this.

As well as this picture of guest Mikey Neumann and his fabulous cache of prizes.

Now, onto Tally’s art contest from earlier this evening. Tally has weighed in on the R2D2-meets-monster art and we have some winners!

Mike Antrim won first prize for this excellent illustration

Daniel Zeder claimed runner-up honours for this colourful creation.

The rest of the entries can be seen after the cut. Nice work everybody! (more…)

If you have an eye for icons, this might be the challenge for you. We need some Achievement icons for the following Cheevos, and we’d like you to help us out. The best designs for each one will go up on the Desert Bus Achievements page for all to see and enjoy.

• Two Heads Are Better Than One
• Saturday Morning
• Ring-ding-dingeringeding!
• Crash the Gates
• Dog Catcher
• We’re Helping!
• Hot Swap

This year’s style is plain white on the blue background, but if you feel like throwing a little accent colour in there, have some fun with it!
