Desinger Con...happened




I was really hoping to have a post ready before dcon....so much for that.. Anyway I went and had a great time. I met a bunch of awesome people, made some new friends, and saw a crap ton of amazing work! SpankyStokes was kind enough to let me share his booth along with other great artists such as J Ryu, F+, Sekure D, Tasha Zimich, Carson Catlin, Neb5, and more. You can check out SpankyStokesDotCom for full details regarding the artists and their work  :) 




I sold the labbit and the 8" dunny but The four little guys are available at my Shop for $70 each. Visit ShadoeDelgado.com or click Here for a direct link to the Exclusives. Stop by and check out their little buns! Also.....


This guy is also available for $100 

Thanks To Jesse, Aaron, Palmetto, and Sam for being generous hosts and letting me crash at their houses!

The Polls are over and the votes are in. The winners are as follows..

1st place: Tusk

2nd Place: Roche Muller

3rd Place: Sandie Ly

It was a fun contest and we had a ton of amazing entries. I'm thinking if we left the voting up for another week we may have reached 1000 votes, which would have been amazing! Anyway, if you are one of the winners, keep an eye on your inbox for details about your prizes.

Also, there is going to be a Halloween fanart contest. More details in the week  :)

It's October!

And to start off the month right here's a piece of Shadowling Halloween Fanart! This Piece was done by John Hoopingarner. You can give him a follow on Twitter and  InstaGram @JDHOOPX 


Also voting for the fanart contest has begun! Choose as many as your pieces as you like but vote only once. And if you're a tricky lil bass and you find a way around it, then Ill hate you forever for being unfair to all these awesome artists. You can choose your favorites on the left side of the screen. Check the names of the artists who made your favorite pieces and cast your vote.

Im also thinking about running a contest for the last week of October, any suggestions? THE PRIZE WOULD BE A TOY! and there would only be one winner this time around. Look forward to hearing form you.
