Iconic Zine

Offical Tumblr for the wicdiv fanzine, Iconic. Run by benevolent gods Ferro and Gen. Shitposts abound.

[wicdiv]

Here’s the ticket link.

There’s all the details on the site, in terms of venue and similar.

There’s two ticket prices listed.

$10 General Admission: for those who come to solely dance. $40 Valhalla access: includes other party distractions.

There will be a limited number of tickets on the door on the night, but we’re limited by the Venue’s capacity. We’re figuring out an easy upgrade system if you buy a General Admission ticket now, but later decide you want Access to Valhalla. Who are we to deny you.

So many people have been great at helping at this, so there will be applause for everyone. Jazzlyn has told me amazing things, and all the DJs are killer. I also plan to resurrect my old-skool one-sheet Fanzine Darcy’s On The Pull for an evening to hand out to everyone, which is kind of amore Phonogram move, but it’s our party and I’ll hand out crappily photoed zines if I want to.

That link again, for linky clicking.

It will be a lovely time. See folks there.

[iconic-zine]

We’ll be there!

Advance tickets for sale on Saturday 28th at 6pm GMT (1pm EST, 10am PST). 

Limited number of tickets for sale on the door.

There will be dancing.

It has been a while since I posted anything because of… You know… Life (sp?). Also Tumblr app has been acting absolutely dreadful(it has continued to do so as I speak).

So here is a treat (or trick), a contribution to @iconic-zine

Happy Halloween 🍂🍁

The year is 2018. It’s happening now.

Hello friends and long-suffering contributors! We’re very pleased to announce that the digital copy and art-only copy of Iconic are completed and have been posted to our wordpress, where they are free to download. We’re enormously proud of this project and all of the amazingly talented people who made it happen. Our link is below, and just as before, you’ll have to remove the spaces to access it.

We would also like to direct folks once again to our physical copy interest form, to make sure we can account for everyone who wants a copy, and can budget accordingly when printing. If you have already filled out the interest form, please do not fill it out again, but we encourage anyone who thinks they might want one to fill it out.

Thank you so much, Gen and Drew.

Hey all! Thank you so much for the incredible response to the zine, you all are so wonderful and have said such nice things. We’re so glad to be a part of this wonderful fandom!

Additionally, we want to thank @heyitspizzaking, we accidentally mispelled their name in the credits, and it took us a number of days to fix the error. They did the incredible Luci Vine pic, which is one of my personal favorite pieces, give them some love.

Thanks again!

Gen and Drew

Hey - just taken a quick glance at the zine, it looks incredible. Quick bit of feedback, though: might be worth exporting the PDF as separate pages rather than spreads? I didn't want to spoil too much for myself, but I couldn't see anything that runs across the two pages, and presenting it as individual pages would make it much easier to read on a tablet. But good work!

Hi! While we do not have any double page spreads, there are a number of places in the zine where adjacent pages are in conversation with each other. We worked very hard to get all of our page turns to line up correctly, and feel that a file where these juxtapositions are visible is the best viewing experience for the zine. That said, we will happily create a version without spreads for easier reading on tablets and phones. Both of us are working at the moment and won’t be able to upload anything today, but we should have that ready by tomorrow evening.

[iconic-zine]

We’ve put a no spreads version up on the downloads page!

Iconic Fanzine: Baal and Beth’s Snapchat conversation

I drew this for Iconic: A Wicked + Divine fanzine. The zine was really fun to work on because all of the pieces were meant to be bits of social media that fit into the world of WicDiv. In issue 4, Baal explains that he tracked down Cassandra and Laura by asking one of Cassandra’s assistants on Snapchat, later revealed to be Beth. He said it only took 3 snaps to do it so the prompt directed that I create two snaps of Baal and one of Beth with the text to be added later by @iconic-zine. 

The full zine is available for free digitally and has work by a ton of other really talented artists so be sure to check it out.

I had so much stuff I wanted to get in this one I had to push some it to next, as otherwise none of you are going to read it, right? I mean, I barely read it, as anyone who follows my typos will know....

Today’s newsletter. Solicits, essays and a sort-of-review-more-gush about ICONIC.

[iconic-zine]

Absolutely the loveliest review of ICONIC in this one. Read it if you have a second.

(Thanks Kieron! For your kind words and for making such an inspirational series)

My contribution for @iconic-zine, which is an awesome WicDiv fanzine! Go check it out!! I got to draw Dionysus, my favorite character from the comic! This illustration was made back in February and now the zine is finally out (the long wait was worth it because it really looks great!)  - and you can download a copy at iconiczine on wordpress!

Back from New York. Obviously jetlagged. That's this week's excuse for typos, even though my x-key is still unfixed. The process to fix it has resulted in me discovering there's a Mac specialist shop ...

This week’s newsletter.

[gen-is-gone]

Ok I’m only a little bit faint

[iconic-zine]

Oh wow, we’re in this one.

[Image Description: Two images, both covers for the Iconic Zine, and both say “A WicDiv Fanzine” at the top and “They Were Fans” at the bottom. The first is meant to resemble a WicDiv trade cover: a brown-skinned hand holding a phone against a light grey background surrounded by purple-white lightning. The phone screen has the Iconic logo. The second image is meant to resemble a WicDiv issue cover, featuring a headshot of Sakhmet in a military style jacket in gold and purple, with the Iconic logo over her face.

Hello Friends!

Not only are we not dead, we are finished! The zine is completed, and we are talking to our printer and waiting on proofs! The digital edition of the zine is pretty much ready; we’re going to NYCC next weekend and will release when we get back on October 13th. That said, if you’re going to NYCC and want to see one of the proofs, we will be walking around the floor on Saturday dressed as 1923 Norns, come find us!

The final digital version of the zine will include the zine itself, an art only edition, and a screen reader friendly edition. All of the various versions will be free, although print edition may have some shipping charge, we are looking ways to make it cost accessible for non-usa folks.

Thanks for coming along on this long ride with us, and for sticking with us until the end. We know that nine months is a bit long to wait for a zine, but we are confident it’s worth the wait.

Ferro and Gen

[iconic-zine]

Hey friends! This is an internal request for Iconic contributors. Ferro and I would like to make a text only, screen-reader friendly version of Iconic, with descriptions of all of the pages. We have the descriptions for writing only pages covered, but if any of our artist contributors would like to send us their own descriptions of their art, we’d really appreciate it. You can contact us through this blog, as well as our personal blogs, @gen-is-gone and @ferronickel, or drop the descriptions in the final images folder in the google drive.

Thank you so much, and we can’t wait to show off the finished product!

-Gen and Ferro (who are almost done, for real this time)
