Industry Elites Added As Judges for Webcomic Contest
- Thread starter Spinwhiz
- Start date
NOOOOOooooo!!! At the very least post the all the comics or something, at least then I will know whether to get my hopes up or not. To keep myself calm Ive been making storyboards for my comic and now I have enough material for a graphic novel. By the time this results come out I'll have stress drawn, colored, scanned, and photoshoped like a 100 panels.
edit: I tend to draw like crazy when I stress, what is everyone else doing to cope?

Played Bioshock 2 for like 4 hours after I got my submissions in and got some sleep. Right now I'm just focusing on the rest of my projects now.titankore said:
dude, its a simple comitition, no-ones judging you so chill (people are judging your comics, but not you)
Well... That's a little longer then I thought I was gonna be waiting...
Guess I'll make some cool things in the meantime...

8th March...
Well, ok, that sounds reasonable really. There must have been a lot of entries and a couple of days would be almost impossible to give a fair critique to them all.
Once again, good luck to everyone who entered.
Roll on the 8th March.

I wish they post it while they are judging,kind of feels like a dead zone that only the participants of the contest gets to mull over this in the forums for another week.Well,it is probably for the better since it is up to the Escapist people's decision who wins or not and some self righteous competitor might start an uproar using his facebook/myspace ugly mob for a petition for his divine right to win.
Main reason I'm stressing is that I got laid off from my job and now I'm working only 5-6 hours a week at a gas station barely making ends meet, so I really need a job. I love to write and draw and I need flexible hours to go to school so this would be perfect for me.
Public voting can become a "Who has more Facebook/Myspace chums" fest.LACKT said:
I'd agree that it's better for it to be judged impartially by the staff at escapist.
I feel, however, that if they post up work here before the decision is made they run the risk of someone nicking ideas and posting them elsewhere before they can get the winners comic up and running.
Not accusing people on this fine forum of course, but I'm sure that's a risk they wouldn't want to take!
If they put the work up on here now before deciding on a winner then they run the risk of someone setting up a similar comic to a contest entry on their own site.
It's annoying, but I can see why we're being left in the dark here.

All these conspiracies due to all the waiting...My head is reeling.
Anyways,they have unleashed the 1337 to judge upon us!RUN!
Already running!LACKT said:
We all want it as bad I assure you. Think everyone is feeling the stress! Just gotta play the waiting game.titankore said:
Wow, I am impressed by those guest star judges. And as much as I'd like to keep my thoughts on my chances of winning at a level where I don't feel devastated if I loose, knowing who's making the picks has just given my confidence about it a major boost.
Man, those guys are awesome. Ryan North is a Canadian God. (Granted, there's not much competition, but still.) Brian may be more well known for unleashing upon us the dreaded monster of sprite comics, but I've seen a sample of Atomic Robo and he's a match to the industry juggernauts. And Shamus... has certainly done a lot of things.
Too bad my artist seems to have gone AWOL, so I think I didn't even join. Eh, c'est la vie.

You're not supposed to mention the "Maple Mechs" or the "Ato-Mounties"...titankore said:
