While i'm not sure i have this in the bag, is there any way of passing on any comments/opinions from the judges to the entrants themselves? perhaps via PM? I would be very interested in what they think of my strips.
Industry Elites Added As Judges for Webcomic Contest
- Thread starter Spinwhiz
- Start date
Agreed, though no garentee they'd show a top ten. But I think we all want to see a few other of the top entries so its reasonable that they willPhillip C said:
yes, but doubt they'd allow it. Might be viewed as an attempt at influencing the judges. Besides there are hundreds of entries. I doubt they want several of the creators bugging them about their opinion on the comic. So at the very least I'd suggest waiting until after the contest to entertain such ideas. Plus if you win then they'll probably tell you their thoughts on it themselvesdeano_inabiskit said:
God, it's worse than you think... my dad is actually John Madden! Not the football commentator, or the film director, but he is most certainly a John Madden, for sooth.Fuzzy_Pickles said:Everyone loves ol' Johnny M.
Cool art style, my friend, and funny to boot!
I've been resisting posting in this trend, but since people have been posting examples of their work I can't fight the siren's call anymore. Here's a comic I did a long time ago, the ones I did for this contest uses a similar, more refined, style. My comic is in no way about 2 guys or couches of any kind. It uses very off the wall humor, you're never gonna know what's gonna happen next.
well thankfully I'm not doing the artwork, but this was basically the only comic I ever did 100% by myself.

so can show my writing atleast. There was another one but it was well below my standards and a massive pain to draw. Yes my artistic talent is really so low that pieces of crap like this take me a good hour of hard work

O_O I want to make that a video game.aeroz said:
Yeah, been itching to show my comic off on other sites.Phillip C said:
Actually Shamus said in his blag he might go over the winning comic and the other entries and compare them. It might not address your comic directly but it'll probably let you weigh your against the winner and the losers.deano_inabiskit said:
I'm a future Game Designer, (going to school for it and all), we will someday make that into a game. At least into a part of a game.aeroz said:
in that case PM me about it and we can talk about an arrangement. I am going into business for simular reasons and as I am sure you realize you need ALOT of people to work on it, and if you really do like the idea, also see why I wish to be a creative director/writer
Oh man... 24 pages of replies, and only 1 winner! A lot of people are going to have to be very disappointed...
My hope is that The Escapist will be flooded by so many incredible fantasic entries that they won't be able to choose, and will be forced to take the only concievable course of action: Give everyone who entered a million dollars!
It is a slim, slim hope.

I suspected this due to the ambiguity of the 'prize' on the contest page, but is there anywhere that this is said specifically?Mr.Mattress said:
Also, I'm just hoping that being in LA for Spring Break will offset imminent depression upon losing
I think the contest page states something like, "no matter who wins, we are looking for people to contribute content". I've no idea what that might entail, whether that means multiple winners in a strict sense, or just that they'll reach out to anyone they thought had a decent submission to do something for them, or what. Wait and see, people, it's only one more week or so.
Does anyone know if I'm allowed to use my entries now that the contest is closed? I don't want to void my entry.
I want that Madden comic to win, I've decided. So. Damn. Awesome.
I've pretty much given up on winning, which in turn has inspired me to carry on with my cookiecutter concept anyway. Now that I've taken the psychological surrender route, I'm crazy-anxious to see what the other entries were like and what the winner is going to be. Actually, I've been intrigued since the beginning -- but I'm sure it's going to be ace.
Much love to peeps in this thread, for all the internal commentary on the thread. And the internal commentary on the internal commentary of the thread. Some people should run with the concept of webcomics about webcomics
Edit: That MovieBob article is great. Really sums up a lot of my feelings on the subject. Also, as someone who spends far too much time on TV Tropes, I feel the observation about some tropers missing the point is spot-on.
