⚡ Spring Lightning
Flashes of inspiration for a bold decision.
The light of truth zipping through the air, reaching others with lightning speed! But its power can be dangerous and destructive too.

Warnings of being too rash or not taking other people's feelings into account.
🔥 Summer Fire
Fiery passion and a burning desire to act.

🌑 Dark
Warnings of being reckless. Ask yourself if you really know what you're trying to do.
💧 Autumn Water
Our hopes, our dreams, our emotions, ebbing and flowing like the sea.
If adrift in your relationships, find guidance and chart a course.
Realize your dreams in their reflective waters. But don't dive too deep!
🌕 Hero
Insights into your relationships, or trying to make some sense of your wildest dreams.
🌑 Dark
Warnings of getting lost in your fantasies. Listen to that little voice in your heart!
💫 Winter Rings
The golden earthly things of fortunes and personal well-being.
Reflections of your health, your career, or your partner. But being too self-centered can lead to greedy, selfish decisions.
🌕 Hero
A bright shining career, health, and personal well-being.
🌑 Dark
Warnings of greed, selfish decisions, or ignoring your health.

We ask for one extract showing the style you think could fit the zine and two pieces which best show your skills. We encourage you to be inspired by earlier age authors, and not to refrain yourself from sharing said reference!
We put 1500 words as the maximum word count allowed for your application. This number has to be shared between the three samples, so please be careful to respect it: that way, we'll be able to accept the application.
You can find your google form here: https://forms.gle/TvsZuUEoYS8NTx589

2. [ZINE] ARTISTS
We accept both Illustrators and Character Designers.
Character Designers don’t need to send a piece with a fully shaded background, while Illustrators are highly encouraged to send them.
A good colour palette and a wise use of guidelines and focal points can make the difference in a painting: try to send us pieces that best show your skills, as in composition as in proportion and anatomy.
We accept and encourage recreations of famous paintings, if correctly quoted as reference!

3. [MERCH] ARTISTS
Merch arts will be more focused on Nature and symbology than on Myths. Merch will include Stickers, Acrylic charms, enamel or wooden pins and Bookmarks.
A creative and less “classic” style is encouraged, as a minimal or stylized one!
We're looking for Merch Artists ready to use a more symbolic and abstract design than the one requested for the zine. It is not necessary to have detailed knowledge of backgrounds, while a good knowledge of colour theory and design rules is recommended.

At the end of the Application form, you'll find a set of questions (five total) where you'll be asked to put said Elements in order of preference. The preference you set is valid for whatever God/Goddess/Myths’ creatures you would love to draw, as long as they are linked to the Element itself.
Please notice there won't be a myths' booking in the Application Form: if you'll get in the zine, you'll be notified with your role in the project plus the Element you'll work with, while the Mythology booking will be set at the beginning of the creation process.
Due to the potential presence of strong contents in some myths we require the contributors to be at least 18 years old even if the zine is SFW and no sexual themed pieces will be accepted.
Only 1 day until contributor applications for “The Shepherd’s Journal: An Atlantis Zine” close! All profits will go to charity!
