Trial by Comics winners for "Inks" and last fundamental theme announced!

Hey, Steemit! I’m back from the Dark Pinup salt mines and the book is done […although, there was a few last minute calls and changes to the cover proof today, so maybe not “done”, done]. I had another major roadblock to make this next Trail by Comics post. The fundamentals series had to end with colors, which I no absolutely nothing about. I struggled through this like you cannot believe! @vermillionfox gave me one-on-one lessons [lucky] just to get to the point I’d have artwork for this week’s contest.

Okay, before we move on to the winners, let’s go through the formatilities. We have a very active Trial by Comics Discord channel. Announcements, #trialbycomics post promotion, general art post promotion, theme suggestions. Join us and keep the thriving comics and art community here on Steemit alive. Thank you to @bryan-imoff and @w0olf for tirelessly working to moderate the Trial by Comics Discord channel. Without further adieu, here are the winners of “Inks”!

First place, this week, goes to @cartoonistpandan for his incredible entry of The Darkness! I have the fondest memories of this comic when I was in my late teens. I bought The Darkness every month and held Marc Silvestri in almost as high regard as Todd McFarlane. @cartoonistpandan’s inks on this artwork summarize everything I love […and have ever loved] about a guy obsessed with comics through his child and adulthood. Awesome choice, and incredible work. 25.000 STEEM DOLLARS to you.

Second place goes to @sissyjill for her entry, “My entry for the art contest, "Trial by Comics”. I really loved this entry for it’s perfectly executed composition using the black inks to contrast the subject. Is this an original character, @sillyjill? I’m working on a few comic projects of my own and your choices in this work have inspired a few pages for me. Congratulations! 10.000 SBD to you.

Third place goes to @wanaf for his entry “Trial By Comics : Desert Sniper Inked”. I love the lose inked lines and composition for this, and as I’ve said a dozen times, progress photos mean so much to me and many of those other followers of Trial by Comics! This was a

Hello everyone this is my entry

This is great @erdavid! You were really close in the runnings for "Inks".

Oh, what a surprise!, thanks for the comment, but I definitely know that I can do a better performance. And raise my level, I hope the contest continues in time.

https://steemit.com/trialbycomics/@katari/mutant-caverno-trial-by-comics-colors

OMG! Of all the great works, it is my honor to be second place @kommienezuspadt. That was my fave character in an anime series. The whole art work was done by me. It took me some time to accomplish that because I am not that good at drawing and winning is an achievement I never expected. Thank you so much. And congratulations to @cartoonistpandan, and @wanaf for winning. You both deserve it.

Whoah! It is a great honor for me to be part in the contest and with all the amazing talent and contestants.And having a same nostalgic league in late 90's comics era with you..:)) Thanks for your kind words Mr @kommienezuspadt..And congratulations to you on the compilation of the long awaited book, Dark Pinup.Highly respect with your dedication and hardwork.its going to be a well deserved success for you! :))

Wow , I am truly honored to be in the top 3. There were tons of amazing entries from everyone. It really shows there are some great artists on this platform. Special thanks to @kommienezuspadt for doing this contest. A mighty congratulations to @cartoonistpandan and @sissyjill for 1st and 2nd places respectively.

Great post buddy

Congratulations to the winners

They sure put a lot of hard work and thinking for their comics and it looks good. Congratultions!

@gvincentjosephm yeah, the Steemit art community is an embarrassment of riches! So many talented people here. I love seeing the art that's submitted every week.

Good contest, congrats to all !!!

Just came across this contest so sorry if this is a dumb question but are digital artwork entries allowed?

Digital art entries are absolutely allowed @thilah! That's all I do. Maybe of our previous winners have been strictly digital artists.

Congrats to the winners - wish you the best with all your future contests. It's been a slice.

Thank you for entering, as always @artwatch! Would you be up for guest judging? Maybe this one for "Colors"? [...not sure if you already planned on entering].

Would love to, but I have some fam-jam-life stuff that needs to be attended to this week - So I don't know if I can commit to anything for a bit.

Hy! I am a bot and I find your post valuable for the art community! Thanks for great post! I follow you!

Well, great! Thanks, bot.
