It's the Holiday season and the creative juices are flowing!
We thought we wanted to do something really special for the Holidays -
We just happen to have an extra SOLD OUT Ion Maiden Founders Edition laying around.
And it could be yours!

But Fred, how do I win this magnificent glorious box?

Simple! Show us your best piece of artwork, featuring our heroine, Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison.
Hand-drawn, photoshopped, illustrated, modeled... You choose!
The only rule is that we want to keep this relatively SFW (safe for work = no nudity).

Participate in the contest by posting your (or your friends') piece of Fan-Art in the "Fan Art" channel on the 3D Realms Discord Server (Psssst... Join here! https://discord.gg/3drealms).
OR send it directly to us on good'ol fashion e-mail by using fanart@3drealms.com (we'll post it on Discord for you).

The finalists will be chosen by YOU!
The Deadline for submitting your Artwork is:


On that date, you'll be able to jump into the Fan Art Channel on our Discord server, and vote for your favorite piece of Fan Art by using the :bombshell: emoji. You are welcome to post your piece of Fan Art any time you'd like, but voting will be disabled until January 7.



On January 12, we'll pick a winner amongst the 5 higest rated pieces of Fan Art.

For Ion Maiden, we're using BUILD. The old-school engine which powered games like Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Blood back in the mid '90s.

Working with legacy technology has been quite a challenge. If you're curious, we just released a new developer blog called "Teaching an old engine some new tricks", where we dive into some of the challenges and solutions we came up with, while working on Ion Maiden. Check it out!
