Read on for our winners and honorable mentions!

Winner

Battle of the Bands-Shonen Jam by Madspacekid

It’s a stadium riot! Amazing detail by Madspacekid to fit so many Shonen Jump characters and to stay true to each, representing a touch of each character and their powers in the most awesome rock concert we’ll never get to see any other way.

Madspacekid wins 1st prize of a $150 Madman store voucher!

Second Place

Anime Dream Girl Band – Melancholy Rose by AJchan

Dreamy is the word with this starry eyed and cosmically cute all girl band from AJChan. The vibrant colours and cool poses make for one hell of a pinup, sure to be on every girl’s wall across the galaxy.
AJChan wins 2nd prize of a $100 Madman store voucher!

Third Place

Ooh Burn! by Big Unit

A nice insight into the backstage shenanigans, you just know at the Battle of the Bands competition there’s going to be some sniping between rivals. Sounds like the Decepticons melted some faces, can the Autobots rock out as well as they roll out?
Big Unit wins 3rd prize of a $75 Madman store voucher!

Fourth Place

One-Mad-Band by Corad

The creepy musical adventures of Corad’s version of our very own Madman logo continue to take a life of their own, this time with a striking and kind of sinister One Mad Band! Love those twinkly toes, great job on those tricky proportions!

Corad wins 4th prize of a $50 Madman store voucher!
