Build-a-Baddie Returns (And It’s Bigger, Badder, and More Chaotic)
The last Build-a-Baddie Poll was such a hit, it spun off not one but two projects — a microfic and a 1,500-word short story!
So naturally… we’re doing it again.
Welcome back to Build-a-Baddie — the crowd-sourced character experiment where you decide:
I take your winning combo and turn it into a brand-new illustration.
There’s also a Wildcard section if you want to whisper your weirdest ideas into the void. No promises… but I will read them.
Voting opens this week on Patreon. Bring your best (and worst) ideas.
Transcript — Evolution Success Stories
A single-panel cartoon shows two bug-like creatures standing on a forest floor surrounded by large green leaves. Both have tall, thin, purple bodies with spindly limbs and antennae. The bug on the right has colorful, symmetrical butterfly wings with orange, black, and white patterns and looks relatively normal — an evolution success story The bug on the left has a strange, mismatched set of wings that resemble bold, graphic signage instead of natural wings. The wings are black with bright orange arrows and large words pointing in different directions, including “TASTY,” “HERE,” and “YUM!” with arrows directing attention toward the bug’s own body. The malformed-wing bug looks uneasy, while the butterfly-wing bug looks on. Beneath the comic, a caption reads: “All I’m saying is… it’s easy to be a fan of evolution if all you hear about are the success stories…”
To the right of the panel is a blue box that reads: “Intermission — The Evil Inc storyline will continue next week.”
Today marks a brand new era for Evil Inc — one that I frankly never thought would happen. Starting today, we plan on bringing you Your Favorite Comic in living (or should that be loathing?) color.
This started with a
Webcomics Weekly discussion on applying color to a daily webcomic. We all agreed that it would be terrific to have, but none of us could devote the time.
Shortly thereafter, I heard from a man who offered to color the strip. We discussed it — a lot — and worked out an agreement.
And the results — as you can see — are stupendous.
Without further ado, let me introduce you to the reason for this incredible change,
Ed Ryzowski. Ed does a terrific webcomic called
Geek Tragedy, and has been doing a phenomenal job with Evil Inc. These strips simply sparkle.
I can’t wait for you guys to see the next few weeks and enjoy Ed’s versatility and skill. I’ve had a sneak peek of what he’s able to do with these strips and it’s truly amazing. Please check out his comic and let him know how much you’re loving his work.
