FLORA AND FUNGAL is our topic for the Object Head Zine 2018 edition! Explore the depths of your forests, the backyard woods, your balcony garden. ALL submissions will be accepted so long as they follow the guidelines below. Each person has a limit of up to 3 submissions. This will be a DIGITAL ZINE ONLY and will be available free upon completion (donation optional). The guidelines are as follow:
- Illustration-quality works in either digital or traditional mediums. Both colour and b/w acceptable; background required. *BG can be as simple as a pattern or colour block! Avoid utilizing a camera to submit your images, please use a scanner.
- The default size will be 6″x9″, 300 dpi (1800px x 2700px) but feel free to go larger or smaller, so long as it follows those proportions. Please work in a vertical format.
- For consistency’s sake, keep faces to a minimum (You can have eye(s) or you can have mouth(s) but don’t have both in a humanoid arrangement.)
- Please go for original characters (or fanart of your friend’s characters) and not so much established floral object heads.
- If you want to include humans, that’s fine as well but keep the ratio of people to object heads 1:1. Same goes for non-plant/fungal object heads. If you want to include both non-plant/fungal and humans in your image, make sure the majority goes to floral object heads!
- Content should be at most PG-13: Romance is fine but after hours business should not be implied, Blood is fine but no gore. In the end, use your common sense.
Feel free to draw a comic or just an illustration! A comic counts as one submission.
Note that if a submission does not meet the above guidelines, I will either reject your submission or suggest improvements that would help your piece fulfill them. Please email me at objectheadzine(@)hotmail(.)com if you have any further questions and I’ll do my best to reply promptly. If you do not receive a message from me within a few days, please send it again. We’re also available on twitter. Join us as well on the official Object Head Zine discord chat! Click here to be invited into the chat.
Final pieces submitted should be either in PNG or a one layer PSD file format. Also send in your email/website/name you’d like to be credited as. (Feel free to omit emails if that is more comfortable). When you’ve finished your piece(s), you are allowed to post them to your blogs as long as you link back to the zine blog!
THE DUE DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS NOVEMBER 2ND.
Anonymous asked: (please tell me you got that 'early bird' Gladstone Gander tier reward for the kickstarter)
(you bet your sweet beak I did buddy)
Anonymous asked: does Gladstone actually like knowing about stuff like horoscopes and magic, or did you just kinda run with that as an idea for that comic? it's neat! I just wondered if it's in the canon comics?
it’s canon! there are quite a few stories where it’s demonstrated in the modern comics, but it’s been a thing since the early days- like when Gladstone is determined to find a square-trunked speckled elephant for Scrooge (which he set a 1 billion reward for and doesn’t actually want)
and here where he identifies an ‘unlucky’ charm Donald owns
Gladstone wat u doin in haunted houses anyway oh and there’s this
y’know, just your average everyday knowledge there
4-18am asked: How far ahead into TPOH do you usually plan? Like, do you already know the story start to end, or do you find that you only have the outline of X amount of pages?? Or something else entirely?
not sure how to describe it: I know the story start to end, in the sense that always I knew how it began, how it would end, and most of the Big Stuff that Happens in the middle. However, over time I have shuffled some of the Middles around, and while now they’re in a pretty 99% set order I’m always willing to let the story say ‘actually mate we’re doing this bit now’ because this thing is the boss of me, not the other way around. Likewise I have certain pages all set out in my head, and have from the start, but on the whole I do thumbnails chapter by chapter so that I have a fluid visual narrative without trapping myself too far ahead of time. I also have to account for the fact that I’m still learning, and what I thumbnail now will not be as good as something I could thumbnail in the future, so forcing myself to thumbnail the whole comic before I started was never something I wanted to do, because I knew it would want to change it later and this story is so sodding long I would have had to wait like, 10 years to start.
