July Invitational Ends

   Posted by: Josh   in Uncategorized

Araknid Kid started out in fourth, slipped to 6th and remained there for the month. It being the same position I finished in last time, I’m happy to say that I remained consistent ;) I also like to look at it like this; in a competition style that favors teams, you’ll notice that with the exception of Rey’s “Dead in the Now”, the bottom half is all one-person projects… so in ways… I came in 2nd!!!! (How’s that for optimism :D )

It was a great month and I was really glad to be included in the invitational. It meant alot that being invited meant people wanted to see more…. and I’m happy to say that you will! I’m still getting the exact details, but you’ll find the story being published at Sugary Serials starting next month. We’ll begin with the first 8 page part (it’ll be what you saw on Zuda in a standard comic book format plus an extra page that you didn’t get to see). The next 8 will be published in September, and the final 8 will be available in October. All parts will be available in the Sugary Serials collection and will also be collected into it’s own comic. In the meantime, there’s that little business of the Araknid Kid sculpt…

A big THANKS to all of you and your support. It was really cool to have people helping out putting up posters, passing out cards, promoting on sites and in comments…. just really, really encouraging to me. And with that… I’ve taken the names that signed up to be on the sculpt list… printed the out, cut em up, now gonna pick one… and here goes…

The winner is…. TRAVIS!!!

Thanks again! This isn’t the end for the Kid! Just the end of the Kid on Zuda ;) Stay tuned!!!!

I said it in Twitter, and I’ll say it here: you already beat out dozens of other contestants just to get into the invitational! You came in 6th of something like 75, man. :)

Oh, right — almost forgot: YAY ME! I win! Woo-hoo!!! :D

Thanks, Josh! I think the Kid will have to live on my office desk, lest my own kids rough him up…

Well, congrats again on being invited but I’m sorry you didn’t win. I’m happy to hear the Kid’s adventures will continue though.

And congrats to Travis as well.

Thanks Travis! Yeah, you’ll have to send pics of the sculpt’s new home.

Thanks again Darrell. I actually thought about this answering an interview question, but I feel like things have a way of working themselves out, and that Zuda isn’t the best place for the property. Although it would’ve been great collecting a paycheck ;)
