Niki Black is Riot Shell
Nicita Designs is working on an online comic in Riot Shell. The first bit of news is that Niki Black is Riot Shell. And she's quite happy.
"I am both thrilled and honored to be chosen as the live action Riot Shell! I've always wanted to be a comic character so this is a dream come true for me! Riot Shell is quite the character too, with her sleek hot pink and black vinyl bodysuit and thigh-high boots to match. Plus, who wouldn't want to have their entire arm morphed into a gun?! Thanks so much Adrian and Comic Idol Online for making me a part of this amazing project! I look forward to seeing all the artwork from the many talented artists that will be submitting for this rare opportunity. Good luck to you all!"
Now the other bit of news is that only the six pages have been written, and the rest is up to the fans. In an online contest anyone that wants to take part will be able to submit a completed comic page to continue the story. Contestants will be given a time limit and voting will commence on uploaded pages. An achievement/points (damn you Xbox 360) system will be in effect and determine the winner at the end of each chapter. Points can be earned by voting, uploading, signing up, making comments and, of course, winning. The winning page then goes into the book and the contest starts over with the next page.
This is an interesting push (and the latest in the social media phenomenon). It could work out beautifully, but I worry that the different artistic styles could be a little jarring. Props to Nicita Designs though for the contest, and congratulations to Ms. Black.
Full press release after the jump.
