we’ve come to the realization that the FAQ page won’t show up on mobile for whatever reason so here it is as its own post! sorry for any confusion and, as always, feel free to ask us about any questions y’all may have!! PLUS ULTRA!
🌙 this zine is a for-profit, SFW, gen zine focused on the theme of a BNHA slumber party/sleepover/pj party!!
🌙 the mods for this zine are mod britt (@a-phuphu) and mod wave (@waveoftheocean)! this is the first time either mod has organized a zine, but mod wave has participated in two (one Haikyuu!!, one BNHA) so far.
🌙 the zines will be shipped from the US and deadlines will follow the PT (Pacific Time) timezone.
on october 20th we will be posting a link to a Google form to be filled out!
🌙 what do artists need for the application?
we’ll be asking for your email (please be sure this is one you check often, we’ll be sending the most important updates through email!), preferred name, social media handles, link(s) to your portfolio/pieces. there are also a couple of other general interest questions but these are the most important things!
🌙 is the application for final zine submissions?
applications are not for final zine piece submissions! while you are more than welcome to to draw something along the theme of this zine/create pieces for the application, you certainly do not have to!! (see answer below for more detail on what is needed for the apps)
🌙 what are the mods looking for in the artist portfolios?
you can send us links to 3-5 pieces that you think are demonstrative of your capabilities as an artist, or just send us a link to a general portfolio! it also doesn’t have to be formal - a link to your tumblr art tag or other social media is totally fine. we’re mostly looking at anatomy, color/linework, characterization, and general composition (do the elements of your drawing fit together in the piece? how well is space filled/not filled?)
🌙 do application pieces need to be BNHA related?
the pieces you submit for the application do not have to strictly be BNHA related, but submitting at least 1 BNHA piece will help us better determine how you’ll draw the characters!
🌙 how many artists will be in the zine?
currently there are 6 invited artists, so there will be 14-19 spots available for open applications! ultimately though, the total of number of artists will depend on how many applications we receive.
🌙 can i submit a piece that i have already drawn as my zine piece?
we are looking for new/unpublished pieces as final zine pieces!
🌙 what characters can we draw for our pieces?
any characters are fine, whether they are from the manga or the anime!
🌙 can my piece be shippy?
this is a gen zine, so please keep everything platonic! suggestions of ships are ok, as long as nothing is overtly romantic. if you’re unsure about whether or not your piece will be considered gen, please contact either of the mods about it!
🌙 is traditional art allowed?
yes, as long as you can get a high quality scan of your piece!
🌙 will this zine be printed or digital?
currently, there are only plans to have a printed copy of the zine available for purchase! if there’s enough interest in having a digital version available too us mods will definitely consider it as an option!
🌙 how will the artists be compensated for the zine?
the artists will need to have a PayPal in order to be compensated! zine profits will be split evenly between the artists and the mods. if there are merch-only artists, profits from merch will be split among them. we’re also hoping to be able to be able to send a physical copy of the zine and the merch to all participating artists!
