artist sign ups
here be the place to sign up if you want to participate in thelittlebang as an artist. artist sign ups will remain open until May 20th.
on May 22nd all participating artists will receive their story assignments in the form of a draft that includes all major plot and story points, as well as the contact info of the author. artists will then have until June 30th to create their masterpieces.
we're all about the flow of creativity and ideas, but there are a couple guidelines we need artists to follow:
- artwork must be based off of the story you are assigned, not just the fandom the story is based in: if the story you are working off of is about Teyla and Elizabeth's epic battle against evil space robots (and the hot sex they have after they p0wn said evil space robots) your art should be about that, and not about Teyla and Sora's pure love.
- artists need to be willing to devote time and energy to their artwork. participating authors will be devoting dozens of hours to writing and refining their stories, and artists need to be willing to do the same. don't just slap some pictures together and call it a wallpaper, but actually put some time and thought into what you're creating.
- in that same vein, by signing up as an artist you are agreeing to create at least one substantial piece of art for your assigned story. it can be a wallpaper or book cover or collage - anything you can think up, as long as the effort and time you put into it reflect the effort and time that went into the story you are working from.
- once you've created a substantial piece of art, you can go as crazy as you want to creating more. icons, friends-only banners, fanmix covers (and track listings) - whatever you can think up!
