Comic book legend Stan Lee and his company
POW! Entertainment have partnered up with LINE
Webtoon to launch a contest to find brilliant and
talented comic book artists.
LINE Webtoon launched in 2014 in the US and is
already successful at producing contests in Korea.
The Super Hero Contest is their third contest in
their Challenge League System.
“Over at LINE Webtoon we’ve already seen some
incredible content from the Challenge League. It’s
amazing to see what our community has crafted and
submitted and we can’t wait to see even more brilliant
comic work as we get closer to creating the next great
superhero line with the legendary Stan Lee,” stated
JunKoo Kim, founder and head of LINE Webtoon.
Artists over the age of fourteen will be able to
upload at least three chapters of an original
superhero comic to the contest’s website. The
grand prizewinner will receive $30,000 and have
their work featured on the LINE Webtoon site. He
or she will also receive guidance and feedback
from the legendary Stan Lee himself.
“It is always a pleasure and a thrill to discover new
creators and artists,” stated Stan Lee. “I am lookingforward to working with LINE Webtoon to find the
talent that will create a great new Superhero!”

TECHNOLOGY IS ALWAYS CHANGING AND PALETTE IS INTRODUCING A
NEWDEVICEFOREDITINGTHATCOULDPROVETOBEAGAMECHANGER
Editing may become easier with the launch of
Palette’s new customisable modular control
interface. When first viewing Palette’s system
you may think of a sound mixing panel or a light
mix board. However, there is more to the system
than you’d imagine.
Users will have the ability to set up the layout,
function and colour of each control module to the
needs of his or her workflow. Connecting to a
computer via USB, users can add up to 18 modules.
The modules are compatible with any software that
has keyboard shortcuts. The dials will give artists
more precision when editing their projects.
The Palette app is a quick way to assign each
module according to the software that you will be
using the system with. Once the setup is
complete users can use the modules to directly
engage with their projects. Their site also
features fashion photographer Ted Belton putting
the Palette to use during a photoshoot.
“After working on a custom DJ controller for a
friend who had his deck stolen at a party, I realised
that the advantages of these universally
understood tactile controls – sliders, dials and
buttons – could (and should) be exposed to the
broader creative community,” stated Calvin Chu,
founder and CEO. “While studying interface design,
the realisation that everyone has a unique style, a
way of working [that] allows them to perform best,
led me to the notion that the ideal interface would
be flexible in both form and function. We designed
Palette to be modular and user configurable.”
Currently there are three kit sizes geared towardsstarters, experts and professionals. However,
Palette is working diligently on software
integration, new types of modules, and developer
tools. According to the Palette website, we might
expect to see wireless connectivity in the future.
It has the ability to work with Mac and Windows.
The Palette system is available for pre-order starting
at $199 on their website http://www.palettegear.com.Ted Belton, seen assembling his Palette modules, Palette and Ted Belton: Fashion photographer
