Hi there! We're back again.
Me and three other authors are working on a magazine called Calliope.
We managed to add a review segment based on an earlier forum post:
https://forums.tapas.io/t/want-us-to-review-your-story-in-our-web-magazine-calliope/43123
and we still have quite the list to get through.
After a lot of positive feedback, we have been thinking of more ways we can make the magazine useful to the community and more ways to do art collabs. We had a small bump in growth and a huge bump in confidence, and we're hoping we can grow this into a positive influence.
That's why we had the idea of doing an art exhibition in the next Monthly edition.
The concept is simple:
If you draw our mascot for the magazine, we will feature the art and give you a shoutout as well as direct people to your profile or comic on tapas or webtoon. That way, if people like your art style, they can look for more on your page.
Interested? Thoughts? If you're interested, more infor below the images.
Here's the mascot:
A couple of things of note:
-Leave a note here on the forum so we know you're making something
-We have a small audience and are hoping to grow it over time. So don't go and make an image that'll cost you thirty hours to make.
-Make the image square
-Make it your own interpretation! It's to show off your own unique style and get people interested in your comic or art. As long as the character is recognisable, it's fine.
-Keep it SFW
-You can draw characters from your own work in the image, as long as the mascot's there
-We might not include every submission
To send it, you can either
-tweet it with #CalliopeMagazine (preferred method)
-post it on the forum here
-send it to me on the forum, tapas or my email
be sure to include a link to either your comic or tapas profile.
The next Monthly edition is on Monday May 25th. Try and send it on the 22nd or earlier. If you're not done by then,
you can still send it on the 23rd or 24th, I'll see if there's enough time to work it in. If late submissions were too late for the Monthly, we'll put the stragglers in a Weekly.
We welcome any and all feedback, and we look forward to seeing your art!
The other authors on Calliope are @Hexigate, @Brilliiant and @silverjackie1
