EPISODE 11 COVER CONTEST!

Posted on January 7, 2023 by crabbng

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 lesbian flag. orange, lighter orange, which, pink and darker pink

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!

a reference image for aya from kings of sorts. she is a pink humanoid, with elf ears, two buns, and two pieces of hair coming down in front of her ears. her facial features are bright blue, and instead of feet she has hooves. she's wearing a light pink dress. text above head: "holograph form (entirely digital)" text pointing to hair: "wires" text on left side of face: "no nose" text pointing to bottom of hair piece: "glows!" text near arm: "skin can be any color in holo-form! like a v-tuber (sort of)" text near feet: "her hooves!" all other text are color notes.

and here are some more aya images for inspiration!

tarot card "the star" featuring aya. she is wearing a patterned cape jacket and is bending blue lines of light made to look like water. above her head are 7 stars. top text: "XVII" bottom text: "THE STAR"
tarot card "three of pentacles" featuring aya. hologram aya is pointing towards some holographic spheres in the air. a small hana has some machine in his hands and is looking up at the spheres in amazement. top text: "III" bottom text: "THREE OF PENTACLES"
tarot card "nine of wands" featuring aya. 8 blue wands come up from the bottom of the card, and aya looks at them fearfully. she holds a large staff in her hand that has a planetary theme. her left arm has been broken off. top text: "IX" bottom text: "NINE OF WANDS"
aya is sitting on the ground clasping her hands together, delighted by the robotic bunny in front of her.
left picture: aya hold her hand up, she is glowing purple instead of her normal blue. her and the robotic bunny have the same symbol above their head, its implied she's controlling it. right picture: aya holds the robotic bunny in front of her, looking surprised at something.
