In addition to the release of the 2016 Zine, I’m also announcing a small giveaway to celebrate 1000 followers of the Zine blog! Like and reblog this post to win postcards of the above 10 pieces. This giveaway is exclusive to followers so I’ll be double checking to see, but new followers are always welcome. Giveaway ends Feb 22, 2016, 11:59pm PST and the winner will be selected with a random number generator. I will announce and contact the winner the next day via inbox and messaging system and they will have 24 hours to respond, or else I’ll pick another winner.
Good luck and thank you for all of your support!
FOOD (eating utensils included) is our topic for the Object Head Zine 2016 edition! Have fun portraying a cultural dish, your favourite snack, lazy leftovers! As I’ve mentioned before, 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 food object heads (e.g. the popcorn and soda heads from No More).
- 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-food object heads. If you want to include both non-food and humans in your image, make sure the majority goes to food 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. 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 DECEMBER 2ND.

We are very close to completing this zine! The print tests look fantastic, and any hiccups will be fixed in time for the projected printing date.
I knew from the outset that this project would be a pricy venture. When I decided to offer the contributors a physical version of the zine, on top of the free digital edition, I realized I’d have to shoulder the production costs myself!
I’m prepared to cover the cost of printing the books and the bonus stickers, but I’m going to need help with the shipping. Right now, I’m facing ~$200 in shipping costs based on the addresses given to me.
If you’d like to help, please go to the «main page» and click the donate button! For donations of $10 or $15, you can get chibi or regular sketches respectively. Donate more, and you can get the equivalent as seen on «this sheet». Just make a note of it when donating!
I will remove the donate button after April. Any excess donation money will go towards compensating me for the printing costs. After the first run, there will be no more physical books.
Any help is super appreciated!
signal boost! Izu has worked so super hard on this it’s unbelievable

And with that, I have just about everyone’s pictures! There are a few that will need to be fixed up but they’re fine enough for the test print. As a reward for everyone being so patient and excited about this, here’s a nice preview of what the final document will be like! Of course, page order will be subject to change and all that.
LOOK AT ALL THIS WONDERFUL
