You too, huh? Guess our strips nullify each other with DISTILLED AWESOMENESS.

Hey does anyone here have some of their other artwork/stories uploaded on a website, cause if we can't show our comics we can at least share our talents.
Here is a link to some pictures I've drawn.

Oh geez... I agree with the 'I am an artist' thing, though I think the writing's pretty decent on mine (I tried to avoid the word spam that makes up 80% of gaming comics...). Eh, it was fun if nothing else.

How about instead of posting comics from the contest, posting up other comics we've done? Or make an art thread for that?

That's one more recent and kind of what the one I submitted was based off of (slightly different style and better art for my submission).

http://tinypic.com/r/5y58if/6

That's where my avatar comes from. I was working on the comics for this and I was very tired and needed a break. Just so you don't think I draw that badly all the time -_-;

http://tinypic.com/r/wvtilw/6

I draw better realistically...

Heck, i think im going to fail this, lol. I found out about this 8 days before. I do have ideas for plot based comics, but I doubt I would be able to show everything in 4 comics... so I did the 'classic' route, and did 4 game based jokes for different games... and I thought of two better ones after I made my sumbission. Heck, maybe after this is done, we can start a thread with what we submitted? Is there even an art thread here on the escapist?
It seems people are looking for a place to post stuff, so...BEHOLD [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.72805-The-artist-in-thee], the Art Thread.

Uhhhh, yeah...well, ummm.... SAX MAN HAD A STROKE (proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX_eHKqDwZ0 ) and now i can't get medical insurance due to "pre-existing" conditions that include; Totally stroking out at random times, inexplicable preference for bright colored suits and bad haircuts.

Also I stubbed my toe this morning and it REALLY hurts.

Obviously none of us NEED to win because it is a contest where we don't even know how much we will be paid for the contract should we win. It could be next to nothing. Personally I would be fine with that, it would be awesome just to say I was a published working artist.

I run and print a few comic, the most recent being Red City
http://redcity.comicgenesis.com
And the longest running being G'nerds2000, which has now ended, sorta
http://gnerds.comicgenesis.com

But hey, what may take our minds off the wait could be a Jam. Eh?
Basically we just draw up comics sequentially playing off of the comics others post telling a story about the wait. Its like improv for cartoonists.

So you either rescued your own 17 children from the orphanage to which you'd abandoned them (in which case, five high for productivity if nothing else), or you've stolen 17 random orphan children. Either way, tsk tsk sir.

You can't fool me with your legalities.
It's not stealing when the other option was having them minced into cat food.
Poor little starving kids.
Did I mention these starving orphan children we're not human orphans, but actually Puppies.
Really REALLY cute puppies.

No?

Oh well they totally were.

If you want to deny cute puppies food and have them minced into food for cats (The food chain doesn't even work that way) then so be it... turn me in.

I'm actually in Grad School right now, so the extra cash would help me pay off my education.
