Riot Shell contest upgraded

Last month, Nicita Designs and Comic Idol teamed up to give Riot Shell fans the chance to create the cover for the first issue. It seems you folks out there were so taken with enthusiasm for the contest that the folks behind it have seen fit to upgrade it. Starting this May, phase 2 of the online contest will kick off, which will give one lucky winner the chance to do the cover art for Riot Shell #1. Familiar right? Well that was the original prize. The new and improved prize is that winner will get their artwork for Riot Shell #1, while five runner-ups will get their artwork featured as chapter art for each six-page chapter. Interested artists have until April 30 to mail art to fans@comicidolonline.com. You can also download a logo kit here to add a sense of professionalism and awesomeness to your designs. Full press release below. Riot Shell #1 Cover Contest Upgraded 22nd March 2010 Riot Shell is an all NEW online comic series, created and inspired by Adrian Nicita (from Nicita Design). Riot Shell revolves around a woman who can transform her arm into any kind of weapon she desires. Nicita Designs and Comic Idol have put together a 7 page preview (#0) as a jump on point and the best part is...the rest is up to... FANS! The next phase will begin with an online contest (starting May) where anyone can take part by simply submitting their completed comic page to continue the story. Contestants will be given a certain time span to create and upload their page and then the voting begins, which allows the story to progress via the choice of the readers themselves! After the revealing of the winner of the pin up Contest winner (whose art will be featured in #0) it was announced that a new contest was set into plan. The new prize was to be featured as the cover artist to Riot Shell #1. After an overwhelming response however, after the start of the contest in the beginning of March, Adrian decided to Upgrade The Contest. The winner of this contest still gets their artwork put on the cover and goes down in Riot Shell history as the cover artist for the FIRST explosive issue! However, the FIVE Runner ups will see their artwork featured as Chapter Art for each 6-page chapter!
