I'm working on a project that is witch-related. Now seems a better time than ever! But I need your help. I've exhausted all the best 8tracks witch playlists I know, and I've hit a point where I seem to keep running through the same tracks, again and again. That's where you come in! (Don't worry, keep reading -- there are prizes to be had!)
What I'm looking for:
I'm looking for something to get me in the headspace to depict witches when they're at their best. I want to celebrate their separation from mainstream society, their determination of their existences and command of cosmic forces, and their complexity; witches are impossible to pin down and should never be taken for granted. At the same time, I don't want to forget the witch as a being of the night. I want to take advantage of those old legends and images, which are iconic. This witch has to have darkness to reflect the primal energy of nature.
Most of the comic is going to be a highly-stylized and modern gothic feel, dark urban fantasy, with elements of horror and comedy to punctuate it.
- I'd like a playlist, minimum 13 songs. It doesn't have to be on 8tracks.com, but it does have to be somewhere I can access it and listen to it!
- I'm especially interested in playlists with a feeling of an aesthetic or a soundscape: paint the images you wish to convey, with sound!
- If you're a fan of series such as American Horror Story or Salem, you can always be inspired by their complex depiction of witches in different times and extremely stylized aesthetic.
What I'm not looking for:
I've encountered some things a little too often in my listening, and there are a few things that either I don't find inspiring, or I just don't particularly care for. It's nothing against them (or you if you like them), it's just that I don't think they're what I need right now. If you would be so kind, please avoid:
- the songs "I Put A Spell On You" and "O Death".
- Lorde and Florence + the Machine.
- edgy covers of old or traditional songs.
The Prizes!
I'm offering a full color piece of up to two characters for my favorite playlist! And that's not all -- I'm also going to do a sketch for everyone who so much as assembles a playlist for me and posts it here, of up to two characters of their choice! I've done this in another topic, so check it out if you want to see the sketches you'll get!
The Particulars
The contest is open from 11 November to 21 November. That's ten days to get your playlists perfected!
Thanks so much for reading, and I look forward to seeing what you share!
