Personally I never expected to win, I had higher hopes for the tapas incubator, but it was fun to participate either way. It was a stuggle to make it to the deadline and I felt proud of myself for making it, I have a new comic and I'm happy with that.
About the winners I gotta say it was unexpected, I was certain that a few comics would win without a doubt, like Purple Hyacinth for example. Personally I was plesantly surprised to see even comics with a small audiance made it through. Gratz to those artists. But I can imagine the dissapointment for artists who were expected to win, that's rough.
But keep your head up <3 Everyone who participated. You tried and you did your best, you never know what might happen in the future! Keep making your comic and feel proud of what you've accomplished!
