– We’re back to normal sized strips after the 3 part Mother story. With all the chomping I don’t know if anyone even noticed that I had switched to full sized pages! Anyway. that was a hard arc to draw, and I’m glad you guys stuck around for it. I hope that by the end of the season you’ll agree that it was worth it.
– We hit our second stretch goal late last night, which means that the book will now include 2 extra three page comic strips, one featuring Jake and the other starring Charles the Fish Scientist! We’re actually now less than $800 from our next goal, which is another three page strip by me and a brand new 6 page comic featuring the Pirates by Patrick Devine! We’ve still got 7 days to make it happen! Remember, the deal was that for every extra $1000 I’d do a new 3 page strip, with extra bonus rewards at $15,000, $18,000 and $23,000. I doubt we’ll make it to $23,000, but we’ll certainly do $15,000, and e might make it to $18,000 if we try hard. That would be a total of 24 extra pages of comics in the book! Awesome!
– The art contest is over, and here are the all the submissions! Every single one of these is great, and I’m really glad you guys took the time to send them in. Thanks! I’ve chosen a top 3 to appear in the Season 2 book, and a favorite to get a free copy of the book! I’ve decided that if I have room in the book I’ll be including as many of the rest as I can fit it. Hopefully all of them, but we’ll see. Again, thank you all so much! If you’d like me to list your site next to your image (or lcredit your image to a different name) please let me know! Oh, you can click on each image to see larger versions!
1st place! by Jim H. (I was pretty sure I was never going to see a realistic Modest that I liked, but I love this! The snakes are great!)
Runner up! by Heather “Ringo” Aplington. (It’s all about the table flip!)
Runner up! by Glucifer. (I loved the sleeping Modest, the yawning snake and the Gannon Jake!)
By Simon Underwood (Totally badass!)
By Will Benedetti (A very handsome snake!)
by Jen Kushi Steffen (very cute)
By Pharoah Bolding (Very badass. I’m trying to figure out how to make a patch out of this)
By Cadenreigns (Giant Medusa is awesome!)
By Ruth Long (That’s not modest at all!)
By Getadesign. (Super cute!)
Wow Tim, yours is insane! Very awesome, congrats!
Jim, I mean Jim…What are you talking about? I’m not blind.
Either way, JIM’s still looks great.
for heather’s art contest entry: BOOM ART SKILLZ ! ! !
I love how the sis-dusa asked Modest if they could come. They could have totally just followed her, which would cause more confusion and mayhem, for Yeld buwhahha.
As for the contest winner, holy snipper, Jim’s piece is insanely creepy awesome. Congratz and awesome job on the rest of ya all who entered! Weeee!
So the cell wasn’t even locked? The Prince’s flunkies have got to watch Seth Evil’s rant on locking people up.
It wasn’t, since it wasn’t a prison. Probably the girls don’t know how to use a door anyway.
I love the expression on Jim’s snakes, so epic.
I especially liked how front right seemed to be smiling at the camera.
im pretty sure Pharoahs pic would make a pretty badass tatoo
It would. I’m hoping a biker gang takes it up as their patch.
If medusa takes her sisters with her she’ll soon realize how they are to her is how she is to jake/marah
Modest’s sisters are so polite and nice.
Jake I have a question. I was writing your character in the Fantasy novel i’m writing. A former warrior turned innkeeper and I was wondering what you’d like it to be called. I considered “The Modest Medusa” but that’s copyrighted by you.
Actually that’s pretty cool. Feel free to use it.
What do you think about this version?

That makes it scary. Nicely done!
Modest, bring them. Bring them all with you…
hey jake i just realized that book 1 had 15 pages of bonus comics and the special large comic . If we hit 15000 then we’ll have 9 pages of bonus comics a 6 page pirates comic thats 15 pages of bonus comics so if you add another special story like from book 1 you’d have the same amount of bonuses. i mean ideally we’ll be able to get another couple thou contributed but if we hit 15000 then it’ll be about the same size as the last book so still a win.
Also can we start the season 3 kickstarter at the end of a month so it carries over to the beginning of the next month when people have spending money?
I will be doing a special 10 page story for the book, so yeah, it’ll be full of stuff!
Next time I think I’ll run it for an extra week, for that reason exactly!
Modest ran away once already. You’d have thought would’ve put a bolt on that door.
aww i forgot to sumbit my entry 🙁
tho i wouldnt ahve won i’d still have loved to enter in.
Congratulations everyone who was listed yoru entries are gorgeous! 😀
We’ll do another one at some point. This was too much fun to not repeat.
cool heh, well IRL had been pretty busy and honnestly a lot of people where comstandly keeping me from this. XD
but yes i bet it was very fun. i’ll look forwards to the next round.
So…… the door was unlocked… THIS WHOLE TIME!? >o<
Maybe they just thought she(/they) where too stupid to check.
as I said over on DA (I think) probably the other medusa have never left that cavern and have no concept of “door”, or how to use one.
But whats the guards excuse for not locking it?
It probably never had a lock. they aren’t prisoners. If any of them ever get out, I’m sure the guards just pick them up and put them back in. Maybe they give them a treat first.
Why recapture them? Is it really worth it? They are just food to her, and there’s plenty of food out there.
I wish I lived in a world where I can get rewarded for doing bad behavoir….
hey jake three things
1. If green queens name in the awards show dimension is jennifer does that mean modests name is different as well or is one eyes name on the “show” Jennifer as well
2. Hey Jake i had an idea for a contest for the writers in the group. Take a modest medusa strip paint/shop all the words out and add their own new dialogue
3. I wonder if Marah’s seeing Jakes trapped on the other side of the ice is going to come true but from the other perspective I.E. she’s trapped and possibly not by ice but something like a magic mirror. {I keep searching for clues sprinkled in the story]
1. That’s a good question. We know Jake, Marah and Charles are played by themselves. Various guest stars have played themselves, but also sometimes other people. The mermaids are named Jenny and Deb, but we don’t know if Jenny’s last name is Hill. So who plays Modest?
2. Hmm.
3. Hmm.
DUDE!!!! 🙁
First why did you put that one up that one was worse than the other, and it stinks compared to other people’s (by the way good jod guys those drawings were awsome!!!!)?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?
And two how, where , and why did you put my NAME up there?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I know mine is last because it’s not cute, it stinks, it has no color because I couldn’t find and good ones that match her, and I did the opposite of modest even though I did that to be funny
I liked it.
NO you don’t, you feel sorry for me because mine was the worst!!!! 🙁
I’m sorry Jake I just don’t like braging and I put myself down a lot….
But I can draw other things better! 🙂
Do you want to see my sketches!?!?!?!?!? 🙂
Yeah! Give us a link! I love looking at people’s art.
I just sent some of my drawings to you! 🙂
Yes, I’m planning on looking over them on my lunch break. Thanks!
Team Chainsaw Unicorn. Plus Charles. And Urano!
