It was so much fun to see our story through the fans' lens—loved this whole thing so much. I chose @thustonart 's amazing ‘maze genie’ as my pick to win—first, mazes are cool, and I love that the maze is solvable. Beyond that, the story of Eight Billion Genies really is kind of a maze in and of itself—the way characters navigate their way through the wild situations of the wishpocalypse is a huge part of the story. So, it was creative and thematically appropriate it, and it gets my vote. But wow were these entries amazing! So many wonderful images!" RYAN’S PICK: @kutakutacosplay Of the selection, Ryan says: "It's incredible the amount of skill and effort all of the artists put in for this contest! I'm humbled and honored by all of the amazing genies that have been imagined and skillfully arted. My favorite has to be the cookie genie (with cookie Simon (my cat)) by @kutakutacosplay. Outside the box thinking is what this book has been all about—and cookie genie is very much in that vein. Plus this entry required more heat and frosting application than any other genie piece. You know I'm down with that! Thank you to everyone that entered! Make sure to let Charles and I know you entered the contest when we see you at a show so we can hook you up with good genie goodness!"
