Title: Any artists here?
Post by: Simon Young on April 10, 2007, 02:33:39 pm: Hi,

The Slants are looking for an artist who'd be willing and able to draw the band as anime styled characters. If you're interested, please email theslants@theslants.com

If you'd like more information or to see the band, go to www.myspace.com/theslants

Thanks!

Post by: Simon Young on April 10, 2007, 06:13:42 pm: We'd love to see what you could do with The Slants!

Anything from newer anime styles, to more eccentric (like The Gorillaz) or even how the anime sequence was done in Kill Bill...we're pretty open, we just need some artwork at hand for different projects.

You'll get credit and of course, copies of whatever we turn your art into!

Thanks!

Post by: Raiphin on April 18, 2007, 08:08:05 pm: I will totally jump on this! What I can get to you quickest would probably be an anime-ified version of your big group pic from the Kumoricon website, and then a chibi of each of you (those are easy and fast). Now I just need to find a good printer so I can start sketching~

here's my failed attempt at the Sakuracon 2008 entry, for reference on my abilities: (your pics would be cell shaded naturally, since that's way more fitting)

I can probably have pencils done by the end of this weekend, CGing takes me a week or so longer because I've got awesome hand cramps.

Post by: RemSaverem on April 24, 2007, 12:23:02 pm: I would like to recommend core Creation Station staffer Kayla Mayer for this. She has also won our Manga contest & created our Logo. Write to her at empressmause@yahoo.com. She most recently came in 2nd place in the Sakuracon mascot competition. Tell her Rem sent you! :)

Post by: Simon Young on June 03, 2007, 05:38:03 pm: We just adjusted the requirements, but the details are up on the myspace page.

Essentially, whatever design we go with will be featured on 3500 postcards and given to every person attending Kumoricon (in their promo bag)...but we'll need it by June 20th (emailed to theslants@theslants.com)

Feel free to use artistic liscense and do whatever spin you'd like on the band. We've added more photos on the site.

Thanks!

Well, I'm most definitely way too late for this. I apologize.
