News and Updates

Ok so as mentioned earlier, I want to stop this contest for a while basically because I'm still struggling with my personal well being (mental health issues pretty much). I've got a lot to work on myself, and just running the contest is not helping much. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate reading your comics and rewarding you as much as I can, it's just that I feel like I need to invest some time in doing some of the things I used to love, like going out to eat, hanging out with friends, maybe hiking with my dog, etc.
It's been an amazing experience to host this contest for the past year. It really gave me a lot of positivism, as well as allowed me to meet great artists :).
I hope all of you can understand the situation... I also hope this is not an excuse for you to stop making comics. I know a lot of you still love making comics, and I would encourage you to keep drawing, keep improving yourselves, try new things, different art styles, etc.
On my end, I will try to draw more often as well... It does feel very difficult to be motivated to do it, but do know that I'm trying my best :).
I wish you all a great 2019, filled with lots of success!! I'll still be around if you want to grab a chat with me or anything :)
Bye for now.

The Thankful zone

Thanks again to @tcpolymath, @organduo and @laputis for contributing to this contest. Because of them we can now have better prizes every week :D

Thanks to @turtledancedaily for offering to make the new logo for the contests a

Sort:  

Thank you for doing this for so long. You've done a great job and shown us some wonderful comics. I hope you can figure out how to best be good to yourself, and that you can find a way to balance that with making more cool stuff. (And eventually showing it to us.)

I wanted to say thank you again for supporting @cobmaximus and his contest, helping support all of us through it, I really appreciate your kindness ❣️

thanks man, you've also done amazing stuff in here :D. I will for sure keep everyone posted on my creative ventures. Having the mind busy with the things you love is what makes you happy :), so that's what I'll try to do

Thanks @cobmaximus for your hard work. I hope you will find the balance in your life sooner rather than later and continue to create. This is how I personally avoid mental problems.

In the meantime as we are waiting for Steemit-Webcomics contest to come back , I'd like to encourage everyone to participate in #artstorm and other contests that @deemarshall so passionately organizes and our #pinkyandspiky contest too.

What I have found out over my year-long experience on Steem is that you have to belong to some kind of community here in order to succeed and participating and supporting contests works very well.

yes, this is a good advice :) thanks a lot my friend. In fact I have to keep busy with creativity, make friends and try to keep being positive!!
thanks for being here for all bringing such good vibes!

I just wanted to say @organduo, thank you so much for supporting @cobmaximus and his contest, which in turn support all of us. You and your wife are such a giving couple, I pray that all the love and support you give out to others, comes back to you ten folds and more friends ❣️

Oh, it already did come back tenfold in friendship at least...

I believe loving friendships are worth more than gold, priceless!

Congrats to the winners! Thank you for hosting so many great contests and being a must blog on Steemit to follow helping promote so many funny and creative webcomic and comic artists. May your health get to a positive place for yourself and your 2019 be a great year for you.

thanks so much @cryplectibles :) let's hope for a great 2019 for all!

Hey Cob it was a delight just browsing through the entries I may not have joined before but I had learned some tips on creating comics to better my skill. I'm just lurking but I sure do read and appreciate all content related to steemit-webcomics. That was my favorite hashtag so sad to see you take a break but I am certain that is for your own good. Take your time and hope to see you back soon

hi @london65, yeah we haven't met before and thank you so much for being that comprehensive about the situation :). I'm very happy that #steemit-webcomics is one of your favorite tags. It has been a long way for this tag to become great, and it's not only me but a lot of great comic artists in the platform, I'm bet you still will find a bunch of great content.

Dear friend, thank you so much for providing such a wonderful contest this year. I had never ever drawn a comic before until I joined this contest about a year ago, I only used to draw realism. So I ventured out of my comfort zone and tried my hand at it, and it has been so much fun, and I have really gotten into drawing the funny faces on characters, learning things here about how to make a comic, anyways it’s been a blast. I’ll miss this contest friend, and I’ll pray for you everyday, may God bless you❣️
CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS, Really Funny awsome comics ❣️

Aww it really means a lot to me that you got inspired to try out comics, and to see you love comics. I've seen you very passionate about this project, and you are one of the top comic content creators around here and that really makes me happy :)
I will still be around and hopefully we can still talk and continue to be good friends.

I would love that my dear friend, my prayers are with you❣️

Thank you @cobmaximus for the hard work I know I was just new to the steemit webcomics community, but it has shaped me into who I am today, your contests were really helpful in improving my art and my confidence. I wish that you are doing fine and that you get some good rest until you feel alright again, we will wait for your comeback man 😀 we got you.

you're one of the people who I've really grown to appreciate around here. Getting to see your growth in art skill and not just that but get inspired everyday to keep making comics, that really helps me feel too :D! thanks a lot for being here good friend
