Are you artisticly inclined? Do you like to draw or create artwork?
Kumoricon is looking for someone willing to create the cover of our program guide.
If chosen, you will recieve a free badge as well as a free artist's alley table.
Requirements are that it be 8.5x11, 300 dpi, CYMK color, and TIFF format.
DEADLINE: July 5th 11:59pm
Please e-mail submissions to kumoricon@gmail.com
-
.......can you tell me what most of that means..? like 300 dcpi....and stuff..
-
Is there any sort of theme you're going for? Any sort of hint would help, even though I've already got an idea planned out. But knowing now would let me change it before I finished it already, and valuable time, and blah blah. :)
-
hmm sounds good.
can some one wright Kumoricon in japanese for me....
-
What theme are you looking for? Even though I'm not very good I'll try anyway!
-
All the guidelines are is that it be fitting for the convention. I'll post links to our logo and our chop for people to use:
Kumoricon logo (http://kumoricon.com/files/smalllogo.tif)
Secondary "Chop" logo (http://kumoricon.com/files/sealrough.tif)
As for the dpi/CYMK/etc stuff, that all has to do with it being a digital file. If you're scanning in your artwork, you'll want to use those settings on your scanning program.
-
I can draw for the cover, right? So long as we use the umbrella girl and the Kumoricon kanji, right, right?
F...ffff.....freeeee badge?! Does that mean we won't have to pay for our registration?
-
Yup, or if you've already paid for your badge, you can pawn it off to one of your friends, or we can give you your money back.
-
wo0o0o! is that whole artist alley thingy optional? lolx
-
yeah, you don't have to use it, though if you have a lot of art, I don't know why you wouldn't :wink:
-
that makes sense..but...uhhh...what is it anyways? lolx
-
Artist Alley is a place in the exhibit hall, near the art show, where artists can have a table to display and sell their artwork.
-
*prances off to do my designing!!!*
-
How many submissions can we enter?
And would you perfer the picture to be in color or black/white?
*blink blink*
-
You can submit as many as you like, but only 1 will be the winner. And you can submit either, but I suggest color, since that's what the cover will be in.
-
Would it be ok if we included the hotel that K-Con will be at in the BG or will that be against any regulations?
As well...there isn't any kind of specification for the "mascot" as far as I understand correct?
-
Using the Doubletree hotel is fine if you're drawing it, photos require approval from the hotel.
-
So should we actually designing a whole cover including the text or just the picture that will be behind the text?
-
Just the picture is fine. We'll be adding all the necessary text.
-
What does 300 dpi, CYMK color, and TIFF format mean? I want to enter a picture, but I don't know any of those... :oops:
-
CYMK is a color format, sort of like greyscale and RGB
TIFF is a special format for pictures, similar to .jpeg and .bmp
i believe 300 DPI is a setting for high resolution
adobe photoshop might be the best way to change your picture to meet their needs
-
Ok, Thank you. I have all those! Yay! :D
-
Thought you guys would want to see one anothers! This is mine ^_^

Only, bigger 'cuz a 300 DPI 8.5 x 11 would have taken a billion hours to upload XD
-
is there anything NOT allowed? dont wanna get DQed or anything. ^^;;;
-
If you wouldn't show it to your grandmother or a nun, then it's probably not allowed.
-
what if the person is evil and would show it to there Gmama and a .... that thing i dont like that you just sed! :twisted:
-
o.o Is this for the big shiny booklet or the little paper pamphlet?
-
Big shiney booklet
-
i'm sorry for asking another question, but does it matter the way you color it? for example: adobe v. prisma? i'm personally better with adobe and dont have any supplys to color it traditionally.
-
Feel free to color it however is best for you.
-
Wooo! After about 14 hours of working on this sucker, I'm done! ^^
Sean - It will not be emailed by me personally, because my email is a FAILURE. It refuses to work on my computer. So it'll be sent by someone with the email ronime@ronime.net. It'll be clear that it's mine, but just to make sure I'm including this little heads up. ^^
-
say your picture contains specific characters from series, how should one go about handeling the whole copyright thing?
thank you for you time.
-
Make sure to check your e-mail 11:59 cause it's gonna come to the wire with mine -_- Very very busy, heheh ^^
-
I can't seem to send it.... how can I give it to you?
I'll keep on trying
-

can someone possibly answer this question? ^^;;;
-
Sorry, I just got back from AX, it's been a busy weekend.
We would prefer an original character, and they will be given preference, but if your artwork is outstanding, then we'll work with the companies on the copyright issues.
-
Can I maybe host my picture on photo bucket or another site? The image is far too big to send through e-mail...x_X
-
Am I the only one who's going to share their art in this thread? Come on guys, I'm dying to see them!!!
-
I don't know how to send it. How do I get it to you through e-mail? Because it's on my Adobe Photoshop CS2... please answer soon!
-
Oi... that was me as the guest... but I have the picture and everything, and I seriously need to get my answer soon... :oops:
-
Megan.
Me and Lauren where freaking out... You weren't on MSN, and we had thought you had forgotten. TT__TT -crys- Get online and send it to me through MSN.
-
Ok, EvilMonkey is it? Neko_chan is gonna send you the picture, but then give you my e-mail address in it. She's helping me because my e-mail account has done nothing but mess up lately.
-
Ok, I finally got it sent with my own e-mail address, but I don't know if I did it right since my e-mail screws up... :oops:
-

just a reminder: our Fan Creation Station (last year it was the Beta Station) will have not only fanfic contests, but art contests, as well!
these are the categories that are announced before the con:
best canon-based character, scene or universe
and
best original character, scene or universe
digital, non-digital color, and non-digital black and white art will be evaluated separately.
all art media are welcome.
nothing rated x or nc-17, please.
there will also be spontaneous additional contests throughout the weekend.
each category will be evaluated both by me as judge, and by peers/congoers.
art may be submitted to me ahead of time (online or by snail mail; pm me or post if interested); or it may be brought to the con and submitted at the fan creation station.
art will be accepted through 9pm the sunday of the con. however, public voting will begin 9pm the saturday of the con, so the earlier you get your piece turned in, the better your chances of getting votes from the public.
the fan creation station will have free materials available for those who want to make non-digital art on-site: pencils, pens, paper, markers, crayons.
for those who wish to submit art they have online, there is a tiny office right at the entry to the con hotel that has a free computer and printer.
looking forward to seeing your work!
love,
Rem.

Okay, does anybody know if any publishers will be at this convention to review comic work?! I was most interested in knowing if Dark Horse would be there. Anybody know? :?: :?: :?:
