Good evening, Steemian artists! I’m up late but that’s because I’m about to drop the winners of Trial by Comics’ triumphant return for “Inspirational Steemit Artists”, and announce the new theme! The participating and art for this theme has been outstanding. I wanted to come up with something special for the big contest return and “Inspirational Steemit Artists” was undoubtedly that. There’s a deep sense of pride in knowing that crypto can shit the bed, rewards may temporarily dwindle in value, and still there are so many brilliantly talented artists here in our community that dedicate time to create art and share it. It seemed so fitting to run a week where we all create homages to one another’s respective styles.
Before announcing this week’s winners, I have to take care of the usual business. Trial by Comics has a Discord channel and we’d love to have you there. Join us, share and shill your artwork, make suggestions on future themes, talk comics, foster the community. It’s the place to be. Also, if you’ve seen the #trialbycomics hashtag show up in your feed or resteems from the participants, I’d like to personally invite you to enter […especially this week’s, which I’ll get to in a minute]. @roadscape and @steemitblog have just opened a Pandora’s box of Hivemind 1.5/Communities and HF20 is around the corner. This is the time to shape the artists and comics community and we’d love to have you!
Okay. Here are your winners. First place this week goes to @veryspider for her entry, “Skeleton Guide and The Boy with Friend who Happens to be a Fish”, an excellent interpretation of @achristopherart’s […whom I just discovered thanks to this entry and again, why it was such a great theme] work. I can’t say enough about this. It has such beautiful, unsettling Edward Gorey feel. This is the kind of art I’d love to have a print of in my studio. Congratulations, @veryspider. 25.000SBD to you.
@scrawly is our second place winner with her entry “Iron Maidens: Morning Star”, based on @veryspider’s style. I am an enormous fan of both @scrawly and @veryspider’s art so this embodied everything I meant when I said “cross-pollination”. There are many circumstances where you can see two of your favorite artists attempt one another’s signature styles and this was so gratifying. Congratulations, @scrawly. 10.000SBD to you.
@cryplectibles grabs the third place spot this week for his entry, “Crypto Collectibles presents Inspirational Steemit Artist @crittercrats for #TrialByComics”. What an awesome, spot on interoperation of @crittercrats’ work. I was so happy to see @cryplectibles post this almost immediately after the contest theme was announces. Congratulations my friend. 5.000SBD’s to you.
As is always there case, there are so many more entries for #trialbycomics than I can include in the top podium winners, so take a few minutes to check out the artists that made it in to the merit awards spots for this week’s “Inspirational Steemit Artists”. These entries were exactly what makes me log in to Steemit everyday and appreciate the special corner of the internet we’ve created.

Trial by Comics new theme is “STEEM MONSTERS”!
Yeah! That’s right! @steemmonsters has teamed up with #trialbycomics and sweetened the reward pool with packs in addition to the regular SBD’s prize purse. FIVE packs to first place, THREE packs to second place and TWO packs to third place participants. Visit www.steemmonsters.com, browse the creatures and monsters on the cards and draw up your interpretation of those characters. To give you an example, I chose “Lord of Darkness” as my inspiration and did my usual comic book, raw pencil style in a Jim Lee/Greg Capullo kind of sketch. Choose a favorite @steemmonster and do the same in your style.
Deadline for “STEEM MONSTERS” is Monday, July 3rd 5:00UTC 12:00a.m. CTS
Rules
• Up to three entries per trial round [weekly].
• Original artwork only [process documentation strongly encouraged]
• Winners will be chosen based on quality of work, submitted before deadline and ability to adhere to the weekly trial theme
• Must resteem the contest post you’re participating in
• Must include #trialbycomics hashtag
That is it! 40.000 SBD's in prizes and 10 packs of @steemmonsters cards. I’m super amped about this theme. Thanks so much to @steemmonsters to going in on the prizes and allowing us to theme #trialbycomics around their project. It’s one of the most creative, innovative endeavors happening in the STEEM blockchain today. As an avid Magic: The Gathering player with @tarotbyfergus and @vermillionfox, you can imagine my optimism for where @steemmonsters is going to go. Join our Discord, start drawing! Good night!
Hey man! Just wanted to let you know that you're on "The Council Of Five," for my crowdfunding campaign, which means you and @bryan-imhoff get to dictate the community rewards that @la-fumettista and I put together.
For now, please cast your vote on which character you would like to see some bonus content for:
:D Sweeeet. Congrats to the winners! I want to hang @veryspider's picture in a frame, such a cool piece of art. I loved nearly every entry I seen and got to view some other artists I didn't even know were on Steemit.
Here is my entry.

Bravo @veryspider and @scrawly, and to the others congratulation. But you two are great, and your art is growing every day here ! Great idea for topic btw @kommenzuspadt.
thank you, jung <3 i love your arts * __ * such delicate water colour technique * __ *
No need for thanking, this is one great and mature drawing you made here, and it deserved to win prize @veryspider. Just keep on with work :)
Thank you Dunja <3. I wish you would enter also because all your art are pretty.
Thank you dear @scrawly, my watercolors are holding me so strong these days that there is no way to do something else. And I am so happy for you :)
Well it is very important for artist to draw what we want, otherwise the fire dies within. So I respect your decision a lot, Dunja :).
But the new contest can be done with watercolour? ^_^
The entire reason I started TBC’s was to draw what I wanted. I thought it would be an excuse to draw whatever I thought was cool and that would be each week’s theme. It’s worked out pretty nicely I must say.🌝
I follow you contest for a long time but somehow when I see those amazing drawings made by comic artist, somehow I think it's not place for me :) Even since I was child comics were my biggest passion and very often trigger for many drawings. I don't have to participate to enjoy each subject contest you make @kommienzuspadt. But who knows, one day :) Nevertheless, your contest is reason why I started following and discovered so many great artist here.
@scrawly, that moment, I draw what I want was my biggest problem in primary school :) They tried to make do the subjects I wasn't interested in and than if I didn't do them I was often punished :) But I didn't do what they wanted hahaha..
Oh yeah I totally understand. I don't go to art school because they don't like anime drawing or the subject that I choose to draw, and because my parents too ^^.
Look, some kind of basic art education can be really helpfull and I think it's important. I had friend in my art school, he was crazy about Conan and he made for our final exam his sculpture...Imagine face of professor when he showed him sculpture :) Now, that friend of mine is one of the best sculpture artists we have in our country. Don't give up @scrawly :)
Congrats spidey!!! I know that you will win the first time you showed me your entry ^_^.
Thank you Kommienezuspadt for the contest, and I'm glad to see all the entries. I would be having difficulty if I'm the one who have to choose the winners.
congrats also scrawlery one <3
i love that morning star iron maiden so much * ___ *
