on October 31, 2011 at 12:00 amHmm… somebody sure is having a bad case of the Mondays!
Don’t forget guys, 1 more week to turn in costume pictures!

First Prize!!!
COFFIN COSTUME CONTEST!!!!
A costume contest btw! So here’s the rundown… dress up as a What’s Shakin’ character for Halloween (or just for fun), take pics, then send them in! Also, dressing up your kids or pets will also count. I’ll choose the awesomest for the grand prize of a real life COFFIN SHAKER! Wicked huh? This piece is made with fine Italian craftsmanship! Well, a quarter Italian… still fine though… mmmhmm!
I’ll also have something for the next 3 runners up! A choice of 2 buttons from my shop page. How’s that sound? Good deal eh?
Deadline for entry is November 7th (midnight EST on that monday night)!! Also, please make the pics an acceptable size… so nothing like 300gb or 1kb… you know what I mean.
Send pics, name, and your wordpress name if you got one to:
contest2 (at) whatsshakincomic (dot) com
(that’s contest and the number two if the font looks wrong)
IMPORTANT: I WILL send you an email to confirm that I got your entry within 24 hrs! If you DO NOT get a response, please let me know! I’ll post the top 4 entries and maybe some more the week after.
Oh goodness, Monday sucks soooooooooooooooooooo much.
not sure why, but tuesdays were always problematic for me… it’s a cursed day I tells ya!
sounds like my thursdays
yeh i needed a last name
lol, very nice!
If you don’t mind, I want to point out a small inconsistency. In panels six, in the bubbles that says “But he just watched his hometown burn by one enemy and rebuild by another.” I think it would fit better if you changed it to “But he just watched his hometown burn by one enemy and rebuilt by another.” because it’s past tense. In fact, I would like it even better if burn was changed to “burned” as well, but it’s really the “rebuild” thing that’s bothering me the most. It just doesn’t fit in since it’s present tense. Hope I am actually correct and that I’m not bothering you too much. :P
blast it! you’re right! well… I’m not exactly known for my grammar and spelling. and I shift tenses more than a druid shifts forms. lol! a shame photoshop doesn’t correct that sort of thing. >)
anyways, thanks for the catch! I’ll update it in the morning! >D
You’re welcome. Glad I can help the comic in some way, it’s great. :)
Why do I get the feeling that this will end up in… uh… the orc girl coming onto Coffin?
lol, queue the Barry White?
she looks pretty in the last panel
shuddup i know im wierd
heh, I did end up liking the way they looked all disheveled at night. guess messy hair is in now. XD
I know you might have answered this but what would an orc and an udead’s chiled look like
ah yes, haven’t covered it exactly in the comic I don’t think, (yet… I’ll have to explain the birds and the bees at some point) but the way it works in the shakerverse is that you get your looks from one parent and the powers from the other. so say an orc water mage and elf time mage hook up, the kid might look like an elf with water powers or look like an orc with time powers.
ultimately… saves me the trouble of figuring out what a 75% undead 25% orc 25% elf would look. XD
