Industry Elites Added As Judges for Webcomic Contest

Don't worry about it. I only had just over a day. In the end, my concern for my premise/subject matter outweighs my misgivings about the art I could've rustled up if I'd had more time. On the other hand... probably could've come up with a much better premise if I'd had more timeAxzarious said:
But for realzy, I expect there to have been some decent variation amongst the submissions, so you never know what could happen. Some of the more assured posts here on the forums have been interesting, because, well, you hope that they've produced something of quality to justify their sentiment. That's why I'm eager to see the other entries, not because I'd like to see them shot down for their hubris -- more the opposite. Obviously, it would be nice to win, but if it's not gonna happen, then I'd like to see a pleasantly raised bar.
Also, it's always interesting to see what people can churn out given the same relative conditions (time limits notwithstanding).
Aye, I found that working on Lino Is Not An Animal fun enough to want to continue making one or two a week regardless of whether or not I land this gig (which I find doubtful given that the only thing that holds it up is the writing, which I only expect to have a very niche appeal, and that it doesn't really mention games... at all). I'll probably have a mate who's a little more web-savvy than I design a site for it, and I'll throw one or two up per week. I suppose I could slap a donation link on if it sees enough traffic, to substantiate my current, very minimal, income.isjusterin said:
An alternative route would be to send some to other web and print based publications. Fortunately I live in an art school city, and so there's no shortage of a market for pretentious Dadaistic twaddle. Hooray!
Pretty sure there was something said in the rules that ALL submitted entries are property of Themis Media and will not be returned, so...if you don't win then your dream is dead.
Unless you simply change the name of the comic and make new characters, then you're good to go.

Wow, when I said that March 1st would bring the panic I didn't expect to see a full page of it when I got back. xD
I'm personally not as worried about this as I think I should be.
Probably because I got most of the worry out of the way as soon as I submitted my comic on the 8th of February... My only real regret to how fast I am at this stuff now...
As for continuing the comic in the likely event that I lose, I don't think this one will carry on, I made it for the sake of the escapist and that's the way it stays, I'll put up the pages I did use somewhere for people to see, but that'd be all, Besides I already got two other comics going at the moment(One weekly, the other when a good idea comes to mind), so it's not like I won't be working on them xD

I think they are waiting for the last minute to post the results. That way it will seriously boost their hits from people who entered nervously checking every five minutes. The longest Ive gone this morning without checking is 15 minutes.
If this is their intention its very clever, evil but still clever.

Whoa, whoa... It may not be the best to say such things about the judges tastes whilst they're judging your work...engineermk2004 said:
And besides... I spent HOURS on my entry "Monkey stick figure poo flingers" (A comic where 2 monkey chums review games on the couch and give them ratings in Poo's out of 10) and you just come along and nay say my idea... Ouch... my pride. :'(
My monkey stick figures have feelings too.

(Just to reiterate, that WAS a joke...)
Doh! Now this thread can be thrice as long. This is a test of your patience everyone. Be strong. Be manly.Spinwhiz said:
How many submissions, Spinwhiz? If there are a bazillion, then it should help some folks sleep easier.
That is a great quote. I'm stealing, bu I'm not going to tell you that.SairexQT said:
I'm not really sure why everyone was so sure the escapist was trying to steal their works. I mean, they got to get permission to show what you sent in anywhere, but really, even if they did own it, do you think they would have tracked you down if you posted your four comics somewhere else? I mean, it's not like this was a secret contest, that'd be a pretty dick move right out in the open if they did.SairexQT said:
Blah, anyways, yesh, so many entries that they won't be able to tell us until next week? Great, great, how many entries did they get? I wonder if they just opened their message box on Sunday and was like, "Uh-Oh."
I agree (to squabble). Gather ye poo, ye mudflinging monkeys! (Mmmm... tastes like cinnamon apples.)LACKT said:
