Submit Your Interpretation of the Apocalypse to Win Video Game Prizes 

Hollywood, Calif., November 20 – deviantART today announced the Darksiders: These Your Last Days Contest, based on the highly-anticipated action-adventure game from THQ, Darksiders.  The contest will challenge deviantART’s online community of millions to create artwork depicting an apocalypse vision of their own.  The winners will be personally selected by Joe Madureira, the legendary comic book artist and Creative Director at Vigil Games, the development studio behind the game. Darksiders is scheduled to be available January 7, 2010 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system

“We are really excited to partner with THQ to bring this contest to the deviantART community,” said Heather Wetzler, deviantART’s vice-president of Advertising Sales “It’s a great opportunity to engage with both artists and gamers, and a privilege to be working with Joe Madureira.”  

Darksiders is an original action-adventure game that will plunge players into a near future world devastated by the apocalypse.  Developed by THQ’s internal development studio Vigil Games, Darksiders gives players the ability to experience the supernatural destructive power of WAR, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, as he explores a demon ravaged world – seeking revenge and ultimate redemption with a vast array of modern and mythical weaponry.
