Trial by Comics winners for "Sequential Art" and new theme announced!
Good evening comic enthusiasts, artists and collectors or Steemit! I’m a few days late with the winners and new theme for Trail by Comics, but this event has taken on a life of it’s own. I love it, but it’s a part time job in and of itself just to keep up with. Scrolling through the #trialbycomics tag, I look at and read every entry and I know you all put so much time in to your weekly submission. I have to budget my voting power so that every entry gets a vote and sometimes that spread over a week or more because of the sheer volume of amazing art.
The Trial by Comics Discord channel has become a really active, thriving community. I’ve been getting to meet talented artists that regular participate in the trials. Illustrators like @yanes94, @katari, @goodnode and @gvand are all there. We have a channel just for art promotion, comic discussion and a general post promotion area. Special thanks to @w0olf for helping to moderate and organize our Discord. He’s also the weekly host of Design a Character contest, which you should all check out if you’re reading this.A quick mention on this week’s theme, Sequential Art. When I first started Trial by Comics, this was the theme I had in mind. In fact, I wanted to do sequential art exhibitions every week. I decided to wade in to the pool with more abstract themes, like zombies, heroes, villains, and more recently, the fundamental like pencils, inks and colors. Honestly, I expected a pull back from the usual tidal waves of entries because sequential art is such a hard skill to learn. You all proved me wrong, as there were more entries this week than ever before. Without further adieu, here are your winners.
First Place goes to @la-fumettista! I’m SO glad she decided to enter as I’ve been a fan of her works since she first joined Steemit. I came across @la-fumettista from her comic work with @drwatson for "Ithaqa". This week’s theme was tailored precisely for her. I’m humbled to have you participate and you totally owned “Sequential Art” this week. Congratulations! 25.000 SBD’s to you!
Third Place goes to @rehanrhapsody for his entry, “Trial by Comics : Sequential Art”. Another new name in the the stage of winning combatants, which is a great thing. This entry just took me back to high school, sketching out little thumbnails on the back of notebooks. Just raw creativity, great camera work and perspective. Some of the foreshortening on these cells was top shelf. Great job, @rehanrhapsody! 5.000 SBD’s to you!
If you didn’t make it in to the top three, please don’t let that discourage you. Each week, I do a run down of merit awards. The five entries that followed first, second and third place. This week, because I have a little extra in the reward pool to spare, I’m going to be sending 1.000SBD to the following participants. Remember, though, I upvote every one that enters Trial by Comics as well.

This was so awesome to participate in! A lot of great work from the other particpants. It's amazing how many talented people are here on Steemit and this contest really brought some amazing artists to my attention. I love connecting with other creative people; it's often very inspiring and motivating. Will definitely be looking to join in for future contests. Thank you XD
Congratulations, @la-fumettista. Your works are spectacular. Keep it up.
Yesss! A writing challenge! I'm in!!!
Yeah, @drwatson! I was really hoping you'd get excited about this and enter. I love all your work with Ithaqa!
Thanks man that means a lot! I am super excited!
Should these be self contained stories, or would a scene be eligible too?
I didn't expect to win this contest thank you very much sir. Hoping to have more contest about arts I am always willing to share some more.
Nice! Something I can enter, since I'm no artist. :) For the script entries, is there any specific theme/idea, or just whatever three pages we want?
Ah, on re-reading, a weekly theme is mentioned, but no theme is given yet? Or am I missing it?
It’s a broad theme of writing, @jpgaltmiller. You’re free to write about any topic, subject or genre. I wanted a week to give the writers a chance to flex their creative muscles.
