Hi there! We're back again.
Me and three other authors are working on a magazine called Calliope.
In our previous Monthly edition, we held a special Art Exhibition and invited people to draw our mascot in their own styles. It was a succes, with seven authors joining in and showing off what they can do.
We'd like to do it again, but this time, with a twist.
Here's the previous edition:
https://tapas.io/episode/1765458
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 on tapas or comic on webtoon. That way, if people like your art style, they can look for more on your page.
The theme for this month's issue is 'Summer'. Draw the mascot in any sort of summery scenario.
Here are some examples of the Mascot.
And some examples of previous Exhibition entries made by @Anithia, @Enigma_the_Slimy_Boi and @magnavarra respectively.
Interested in joining the Exhibition? Remeber, it's a Summer theme!
A couple of things of note:
1) Leave a note here on the forum so we know you're making something
2) 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.
3) Make the image square
4) 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.
5) Keep it SFW (Summer swimwear is allowed, but keep it classy)
6) You can draw characters from your own work in the image, as long as the mascot's there
7) 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 June 29th. Try and send it on the 26th or earlier.
If you're not done by then,you can still send it on the 27th or 28th, 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
