To help promote both versions of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, THQ hosted a contest that would allow fans of the series to draw their own Hero design and submit it to be placed on a billboard (as long as the submitters were from the UK). Out of all the submissions, there were ten regional winners:
However, the simple sprites created in the Hero editor were not what was put onto the billboards. Instead, THQ hired an artist to create higher quality artwork to be hung instead, making them the only "Fan characters" to have official art from THQ.
All 10 of these winners were given copies of both versions of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter and were invited to a premiere party, where their artwork was showcased:

To celebrate the release of Volume 2, we’re currently holding a special campaign where the entire first volume of L'Heure Bleue is available to read for free!
This manga is a pastiche work based on Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, focusing on the early days of the Friends of the ABC, and interweaves original elements with the source material.
At present, the series is only available in Japanese, and while an English edition has not yet been confirmed, we are aiming to make one a reality in the future. While reading in Japanese may be challenging, we hope this campaign gives those who are curious about the story a chance to take a peek!
Please note that the website is entirely in Japanese, but no login is required to read the free version. We are unable to verify access from outside Japan, so if you encounter any issues viewing the content, we would be very grateful if you could let us know.
To begin reading, please visit the linked page and tap the banner indicated in the image.
The free viewing period will be available until the end of April 21st, Japan time.
