BIG THANKS TO LEA V.T. FOR THIS GORGEOUS ENTRY!!!! THE LINES!! THE FABRIC!! THE REACHING FOR EACH OTHER!!! the robo bunny……… so cute… i love how dreamy this is. legit got emotional from aya being stuck as a hologram, unable to really interact with the real world, or as a robot, unable to connect to her ai self and really function…….. EMO HOURS HERE…….. but in the best way
the entries were so lovely this time around, i loved seeing the interpretations of a character we don’t really know that much about! warms my heart.. aya was actual the MC of a comic i made and scrapped years ago so its SOOOO heartwarming to see her get her day in the sun like this… the time you took out of your lives to draw my girl… i really do appreciate it <3 thank u to all who entered. i will be sending you all the Ep 11 book version PDF as soon as i get it finished!!
There WILL! be a kickstarter for this one! though its still under review. should be ready by Feb 23rd, and then it will begin March 1st! i will be making another post when that gets fully approved so y’all can sign up for notification on launch!
some teasers for you………..
KINGS OF SORTS COVER CONTEST FOR EPISODE 11!!!!
ENDS 18-FEB!
i apologize for the short time frame for this one.. but with TCAF in April, i want to make sure ep 11 book is up and ready to go with plenty of time for edits and such before (basically. to not repeat what happened before SPX….)
the episode 11 cover will feature… our holographic friend from the first few pages of ep 11! AYA!! and the color is this completely random color palette i found.
idk i just really like the colors. (this is a joke)
some hot aya tips:
her holographic form is pretty versatile! can be changed however she (or you) wants. the main things that’d stay consistent would be the blue parts of her face, her hair, and her hooves (because i love them). check out the images under this for more variety, and her robo-form!
and here are some more aya images for inspiration!
RULES:
1) i want these to be easily sourced to the artist so please post it on whatever social media you use, tag me and use the tag #koscovercontest (i’ll be reblogging/rting all of them)
2.1) when you’ve done that PLEASE EMAIL ME a link to your post and the actual pic to [crabbng@gmail.com] so i dont miss any! (and also so i can contact you easily if u win!)
2.2) email me the background you’ve made! (just the pic without the character)
2.3) please include how you would like to be credited for your work! i.e. name or @ or both
3) submit your own work (obvi), multiple submissions are just fine! and if you won last time, go ahead and enter again!
TEMPLATES/REFERENCES: there are templates available to show you where the title/author/cover artist name will be for the final version, these are just for your reference only! please ONLY submit your artwork.
references can now be found in the same place as the cover templates!
templates/references can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GCBZB80zON_VEu28RCB3Ct2Vt9s7A8EK?usp=sharing
SPECIFICATIONS:
the cover (plus trim) is 8.75”x11.25” (300 dpi), the end result for the cover will be trimmed to 8.5”x11” by me, but keep that in mind while deciding on how to design your cover. PLEASE adhere to these specs! wrong specs can lead to an otherwise perfect piece not being chosen.
TIMELINE:
starts now, ends Feburary 18th! so get them posted and emailed to me by then. it doesn’t matter if you send it in earlier or later in the timeline, all will be considered equally
WINNER:
the winner will (obviously) get their pic to be the cover and i’ll send you a free printed copy of Kings of Sorts Episode 11! and whatever is in the preorder pack. planning on having a hana and bonic chibi standee!
all entries will receive a free PDF copy of episode 11 when the book is formatted! which will likely be way before the rest is publicly posted so. just fyi
3 years and 600 some pages!! what a ways we have come.
i just want to take this moment to thank everyone who’s ever enjoyed KoS, previous version included. your kind words have encouraged me through the bit of a rough year it’s been! i keep them all in my brain to pull out when i need to, lol. (it’s a bit early so forgive my lack of eloquence)
anyways, i look forward to creating and sharing more with you in the coming year(s)! for now though, enjoy the beginning of episode 11!
the rest of the crew got dressed up too! (its a 21+ party so baby is being babysat)
WOW!! COULD IT BE REAL? COULD KOS FINALLY BE RETURNING?? yes
on KoS’s third anniversary, episode 11 will begin. if you want to catch up or to refresh yourself on the goings-on, now is the time to do it!
there’s also giveaways happening on twitter and tumblr to win a full set (eps 1-10) of KoS books! check those out if you’d like
i’m so excited to finally share this with y’all and i hope you enjoy it!!!
OUR LAST COVER SPOTLIGHT! for this break and for the Kiigari covers at least. this entry is by ThatHimboMoof (previously Kaijujuart), who also made the cover that actually won the contest! i absolutely adore the Mononoke vibes of the Kii and Fluffer entry. especially Fluffer’s face, it came out so snarly, i love it. check out both of their entries and give them some love.

and with that, our cover spotlights cease for the time being! kings of sorts will return on 24Dec2022 with episode 11, so look out for that!

also a reminder to check out the store!

there’s only one more week of kiigari entries! which is good, because i’m becoming worse and worse at posting them on time… at least now they’ll be up on the site for people to peruse. i’m happy to be able to archive these because they really are lovely. and im pretty sure i’ve said this, but its so cool to see people entering multiple contests, and watching as their art changes and improves… you love to see it
anyways. as was the case last time, i have two bon pics that will be featured in the BATTLE DAMAGE zine! an anthology of ppl getting beat up, there’s some mini prints as well and maybe some secret stretch goals if we get there 😮 check it out [here]!
