This week we have a couple of submissions for our fan art spotlight!

First up is a video. VGWalkthroughs posted a video of the Wings of Justice's guild hall Festival of Gloriann decorations (Xeth server.) Romulus shared the link with us and says, "It shows almost all, if not all the deocrations you can get. Snowmen, trees, reindeer statuette, wreath, garland, presents..." If you enjoyed the video, be sure to stop by the forums to leave your comments.

Next we have a screecap from Saharas, level 40 leatherworker from the Xeth server, of the Jharru Flats Air Force protecting the air space around Jharru Flats to keep the crafters safe down on the ground.

Many thanks to Romulus and Saharas for sharing their stuff! If you'd like to submit screenshots, videos or other fan art of your adventures or your home to share with Vanguard Players, you can submit them by email to soefanart@soe.sony.com.
