Grats to the winner! Was a pretty good go that made me laugh. Looking at all the entries I'm actually rather proud of what I managed to whip out in two days. It's pushed me to keep updating my other comic http://fantasywrit.com which was something I really needed. I hope everyone had fun doing this, and as the trend here's the link to my crappy entry. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/webcomic/view?id=74467&ix=17
Webcomic Contest Winner Announced and Gallery Is Live
- Thread starter Spinwhiz
- Start date
Honestly dude, go get a page, get wordpress with comicpress set up and go. Use Digg, Reddit and what not to your advantage, you have a popular comic on your hands, IMO you should have won.Coelasquid said:Hey, honourable mention's pretty rad! Congrats to the winner as well, it's been a fun ride!
I'm really flattered by all the love Manly Guys is getting, too! I think I might try to keep it going as a once-a-week kinda thing. Either on my DA or a page of it's own if I can find someone to teach me how to internet... I never even figured out Geocities in my youth
Oh hey, is it fair game to post our comics on our own pages now?
I still haven't seen all of the entries, but after 50 third-rate Penny Arcades, a bunch of manga-type stuff, and the odd entry with stick figures, there's still nothing touching The Last Shot. I didn't mean to offend with my earlier comment, but I mean, next to "AWESOME", "decent" doesn't look so hot.Kwil said:
Awwwww.... I lost DX Oh well, my entrant is on the third page though. It's "The Clan". Regardless, congratulations to the winner (May his/her Comic live a long life!) and I hope that I can at least be mentioned in the next contest these guys have!
And now a word from one of the losers.
Congratulations to "The Last Shot" [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/webcomic/view?id=74357&ix=-1] was my definite favorite among those.
But more importantly a great big thanks to The Escapist for giving me an excuse to start a webcomic and then NOT picking it. I can now continue my idea in my own website [http://www.lastadopter.com], something I urge all of us participants to do.
Look for my entry, "Last Adopter", in www.lastadopter.com [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/webcomic/gallery?page=5].
See you later.

To be modest and fair... I'm only really quick when I'm kinda pumped and I feel the need to get something out there. And it isn't really much. The texture's there are doing most of the work.Eukaryote said:
Wow! This is exciting stuff!
My heart exploded a little when i found i WAS NOT the winner and then my heart exploded a little more when i found i was in the honorable mentions =D
I will take it! Thanks to the Escapist for the opportunity and thanks to the contestants whom with i competed; it is only through such competition that I become inspired to, eerrr, compete!
And to the winner: I'm watching you. Oh yes. Oh yes. And not in the creepy way, more like in the "i will take your place in a second given the opportunity" kinda way. MUHAHAHA.
;P

Noooo! It haz 2 b a conspricy my webcomix wuz soooo much funir why you do you haterz!!!
....all kidding aside...
Congrats to the winner and all of the honorable mentions. Obviously I'm a touch disappointed I didn't win, but you know, I'm honestly not angry about it. I know this is going to sound like brown-nosing, but really I think its simply because this community really doesn't come off as a collective bunch of *insert favorite expletive here*s and it was just fun to compete.
Continued success to the winners, the losers, and to the Escapist.

I would also like to pipe up that I'm another that thought Manly Guys should have won as well. If you need help setting up a website for it drop me a line, my real job is web development and with some cheap hosting and a easy comic pres install you can get a webcomic up and doing in no time. I'd love to see the comic continued.
Out of Ten certainly isn't my favorite, but congrats to the winner anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your work.
Also a shout out to all those who didn't make it. There was some awesome stuff in there! Keep up the good work, and don't let this one get you down!

I realize most people might not be too eager to accept help from a stranger off the internet, but I'd hereby like to offer my help with whatever webdevelopment-related things you need help with. Anything at all, don't hesitate to ask. Your entry was easily the most awesome thing on the list and if I can do anything to increase the chance we'll see more of it, I will.Coelasquid said:I'm really flattered by all the love Manly Guys is getting, too!

Much deserved, man, yours was one of my top favourites.MaTT2011 said:
Gotta say, though, this is what's goin' on in my head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qae_TUTeGo
It kind of became my theme song after this one time I stayed up for six days straight animating barbarians with that and Push it to the Limit playing on loop.
Yours is indeed a great entry, and it's one that I'm proud to share the category of Honorable Mention in this contest with. I look very much forward to seeing manly stuff being done by Manly Guys.Coelasquid said:I'm really flattered by all the love Manly Guys is getting, too!

As for Robot Viking Ninja Pirates, Zolf and I are definitely proceeding onward with it in one form or another.

Thanks a lot emiliogomez, folmerkelly and the others who liked "The Last Shot", I enjoyed a lot making it. It was a really great experience to participate in this contest with so great competition.
Here's another one I made but wasn't one of my favourite four so...
Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.maxbola said:I'm feeling exactly the sameMaTT2011 said:
