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 theme of the third Object Head Zine is “SPOOKY”.

This year’s topic is a little more flexible - participants may draw either spooky-themed object heads, or place object heads in a spooky situation! It can be either scary or cutesy or even a mix of both! You may include monsters, but please keep object heads the focus of your piece.

This book will feature 25 people I’ve selected, plus 25 open slots available to the public. This year’s zine is a PAID OPPORTUNITY of $100 CAN (approx. $80 USD) per page. A Kickstarter launched after the drawing period completion and compilation (around late Feb, 2017) will provide payment, plus cover the cost of printing and shipping for the books’ single run print and sale!

The 25 pre-selected participants are:

Potentialforart | 2-ee | Rezllen | Nighthead | Modmad | 0Chromat | Raveninblue | Artic Blue | Tigercubmia | Sellerdoor | Wallabri | Kalkie |Theholeyness | Jessica Pamintuan | Khantaya | Drew Rausch | Pengosolvent | Aaron Alexovich | Melyssa Denton | Audrey Kare | Sticksandsharks | Xoves | Derekhetrickart | Chickenwithtie | Mindkiss

The guidelines are as follows:

• 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!
• 6”x9”, 300 DPI illustrations with a 1/8th inch bleed (FINAL DIMENSIONS SHOULD BE 6.25” x 9.25”) Works must be in CMYK, a template will be provided via email if you are selected. Works will be in a vertical format only.
• 10 slots are open for a 1-4 page comic. A separate portfolio of your comic works must be sent in for consideration.
• At least one (1) work in progress picture should be sent in with your final illustration/comic.
  
• 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.)
• Original characters only (yours or your friends’).
• You can include humans or non-spooky object heads, as long as there’s a 1:1 spooky object head to non-spooky object head/human ratio.
• This book is for all ages. PG-13 content at the most! Cartoon violence and blood are acceptable, but realistic gore is NOT. Use your common sense. If you’re unsure, run the idea by me.
• Completed illustrations/comics must be sent as a flattened psd or tiff file.
  

To apply, please submit:

• Examples of your work (art blog/tag, homepage, etc). If you wish to submit a comic, please provide examples of your comic work as well. Object heads are not required in  your portfolio but always welcome.
  
• The name you want to be credited under
• The website you want linked on the credits page
• The email you want displayed on the credits page (optional)

There are only 10 slots for comics available due to page count space so if you apply for a comic space, and you are selected, you may not be picked for comics but instead illustration!

Please send this information to objectheadzine (at) hotmail (dot) com, plus any questions you may have about the zine. I’ll do my best to reply promptly.
