#portfolio asks

[steelthyzine]

I was wondering what should we use to send our portfolios? Also if I messed up and sent the drawings through a site that is against the rules, should I rewrite my application?

We’ve been accepting pretty much all sites for portfolios except maybe, I dunno...

...Pornhub?

So there’s not a set of sites that we specifically want people to use for their portfolios.

I forgot to enable response receipts (but they should be available now). If there’s anything you need to change, send us an email (steelthyzine (at) gmail (dot) com) of what you want to change any of your links or add anything to your form.

This was sent to my personal tumblr, but it’s zine business so I’m going to answer it here @maidofegg​ 

(Please send all zine-related asks here and not to my personal tumblr, thank youuuu)

You don’t have to link a social media specifically for art, but if your social media account is the one you’re most active on and the one you’re also using for your portfolio, you can probably just link the same account for both.

Like, on one hand, we use the social media tag to say “hey x person did this piece, but also if you want to find more of their stuff, you can go to their twitter/tumblr for more,” but we also use the social media to do a quick background check on applicants to make sure like... you’re not the kind of person to throw slurs everywhere or something.

Hey how many pieces should we put in our portfolios? Is there a limit?

There’s no limit! If you’re just submitting your general tumblr art tag, that’s totally fine, but if you’re curating your art specifically for a portfolio on a dedicated site, sometimes less is more.
