Hey everybody! Some of you may have seen my recent post on social media regarding the Pulpo anthologies that came in the mail the other day:
My plan is to get a table at an upcoming con at the end of March and using it to promote VOID (in addition to my own work, of course). I'm trying to get my hands on anything VOID-related that I can use to promote the site and get the word out about the amazing artists we've got here!
BUT!
None of my own work is in those anthologies.
SO!
I'd like to put together a short zine to showcase the latest and greatest in VOID artists' comics so I can throw my crappy work in and pretend I'm one of them! And, in honor of the original VOID anthology, I've decided to name this little zine
Pulpito! The Bite-sized EnterVOID Comic Zine (subtitle pending)
I need roughly 15 artists to submit 3-5 page comics (the max number of pages I can do is 68 total, so I'm keeping individual comic counts short). There may also be room for a splash page or pinup here and there, but I want to prioritize comics as that's what VOID is really all about.
So give me the specs already!Page size: 5x7in (12.7x17.78cm; sorry metric system users)
Comic length: ~3-5 pages
Full color (monochrome, duotone, etc. is acceptable, but no pure black and white please unless you can bribe me for it)
NO VOID CHARACTERS (I want all original stuff that can stand on its own)
Original work only (no fan comics or plagiarizing)
Original characters only (don't borrow other people's characters unless you have express permission from them and they send ME their approval as well)
Page resolution: at LEAST 300dpi, 600dpi preferred (meaning your page should be at LEAST 1500 pixels wide and 2100 pixels tall)
Theme: CREATION (art, birth, origins, etc.) No theme! Do whatever you want!
Final book specs:
- Up to 68 pages
- Saddle-stitched
- Full color
- Basically just like Sweet Treats if you got it from Justin and Nina (and you should if you haven't!)
DEADLINE: Wednesday, January 20th, 2016 Sunday, July 31st, 2016 Sunday, August 14th, 2016 (last chance, procrastinators!!!)That means you have about two months to submit a 3-5 page, full-color comic.
Please send your entries in PNG, TIFF, PDF, or PSD format.
To submit an entry, email me at bobo[member=776]enterVOID[/member].com and either attach your files to the email or host them somewhere I can download the full-res artwork for your entries.
I'll be making a list of artists who have stated their interest in submitting to this zine, so please
FILL OUT THIS FORM IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN CONTRIBUTING TO THE PULPITO ZINE so I can keep track of who to
harass contact when the time comes to send the book off to be printed.
And just to be extra helpful, I've created some
simple PSD and PNG templates for creating your pages for this zine!
