Good evening, Steemians. I’m coming to you from by bed, because I’m sick. Today was that first day where it hits you like a truck. Compounded by unseasonably cold, wet and windy weather […even by Minnesota standards]. The silver lining, as is usually the case on bad days, was pummeling 
I’m grateful for that, because it’s time to announce the winners of this week’s Trial by Comics! Before we do, though, I’d like to take a minute to thank our incredible sponsor for an entire month of Trial by Comics, 
Alright, without further adieu, your first place winner for this week’s Trial by Comics “Kaiju” theme is 
for his entry “Inktober - TrialByComics ! - KAIJUUUU!!”. This was such a cool entry and one of the earliest in the week, which is a testament to how incredible ’s work is. There have been a ton of outstanding entries since he posted it and it managed to hold up through the gauntlet of kaiju’s! That truly is a #trialbycomics! Congratulations ! 50.000 SBD’s to you courtesy of Trial by Comics and our sponsor, !
So, there wasn’t a sponsor for a second and third place winner this week, but thanks to some higher post rewards, I’m ponying up the SBD’s to cover those as well […that’s not likely every week, so if you’re interested in sponsoring Trial by Comics, it’s a great to to encourage the community and gain followers. You can message me on the Steemit chat if you’re interested].
Your second place winner for “Kaiju” is 
for his post “#trialbycomics - Theme "Kaiju" - Entry #2 - The Daughters of Kumonga (Full Picture + Process Animation/Pics)”. In a past life, I used to keep and breed tarantulas, and one of my guilty pleasure films is Eight Legged Freaks. You hit me at the core of my arachnid enthusiasm. Congratulations ! 20.000SBD to you!
Our third place winner of Trail by Comics “Kaiju” is 
for his entry “Duo-Raptor , my Kaiju for Trialbycomics (ITA-ENG)”. I love how this turned out and commend the use of three point perspective. I’ve been brushing up my perspective studies lately, and seeing a two headed dinosaur moving over a metropolis was enough to clinch the third place prize. Congratulations . 10.000 SBD’s coming your way.
Trial by Comics new theme is “Mecha”!
Of course it is! How couldn’t this be the theme to follow “Kaiju”! The follow up to Pacific Rim may look like an abomination, but it’s an amazing concept for Trial by Comics! This is a theme I’m not at all familiar with, but I drew up my best mech suit capable of defending a city from a destructive kaiju! I want to you all to do the same.
Deadline for “Mecha” is Sunday, November 11th 5:00UTC 12:00a.m. CTS
