Content:
You should start by clicking on the link to the left of this sentence, and reading the script for Blood and Justice #1. After you've done that, you can create any piece of art you want. Have your own idea of what one of the characters should look like? Show us. Feel like drawing one of the panels or pages from the script? Cool! Come up with any piece of art you'd like that represents any of the characters or scenes from the story.

FAQ

WHAT THE HELL IS JESUS JEKYLL?
Jesus Jekyll is a strange, violent and funny thing that forced its way into the world. Blood and Justice #1 is the first issue in the origin story arc.

WHY ARE YOU HAVING A FAN ART CONTEST FOR SOMETHING THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF?
Good question. Well, everything starts somewhere. Comics and graphic novels start with scripts. And then eventually, a whole lot of time and effort is invested in creating the art and making them a reality. But in order to make that happen, you need to attract an artist, an editor or a publisher who likes the project and sees its potential. So, this contest is a step toward making that happen. The more art there is to illustrate the characters and the story, and the more people know about and like the project, the greater the chances that it will become what it is meant to become. That's the deal.
