Had a request to specify file types:

When submitting your art for selection, medium-res jpg's will do fine (under 300k in size)

If your art is selected for publication then we will need a full-res 300dpi version. These can be sent in jpg, tiff or flattened photoshop files (psd), though the jpg should be fine.

Just create something.... well, general?

I think the due date for illustrations are end of August?  *whispers-'right Joe?'*

If it hurts when you cough, you probably have TB.  

and if your toe jam is green it might be an indication of severe brain damage.

ps thanx Joe

right... the way it works is thus:
You send me random samples of your work.
If they are really cool then I contact you and say, "I like you broo, you're cool" and then when I have chosen the stories I will match up artists styles with stories and send an artist the story to read and do some illustrations for me (number of illustrations will depend on length of story - i.e. how many pages it covers).

The average story (2000 words) is about three-four magazine pages and will probably require no more than two pieces of art to go with it.

The non-fiction articles might also carry art but otherwise no.
Not unless it is a promo piece for the artist - (which is an idea that might be worth looking at)

Quote:


No, unless a piece of art is connected to a piece of writing, there will be no specific themes - (other than horror, of course)

  Quote:


ALL interior art will be B&W - I can't afford to print this in colour....yet

Quote:


Writer's deadline is 15 August, so artists deadline will be 15 Sep - but seriosly though, as soon as possible is always good when dealing with print deadlines. Obviously artists can't get anything done until they recieve a story to illustrate so I will be sending out stories as soon as I can. As soon as a story is chosen for print I will contact the artists on file.
Might be interesting to place the specific genre's in a a board and let the artists decide amongst themselves who wants to do what - what you think Phreak?
let me know on that one.

That's a bloody good question.
I will be more than happy to offer feedback to stories that aren't accepted but only if the writer requests it.
Normal procedure will be a polite rejection letter (that's an oxymoron surely polite rejection?)

        Quote:


   I will always have exceptionally good reasons for not picking a story. I will never disqualify a story just because I don't like it.
Grammar, Spelling and sentence construction will be my primary reason for not accepting stories, though I may also simply not have space in the issue for them. If the latter is the case then I will contact the author and arrange for the story to be printed in a later issue.

As for your "friend"'s story...tell him not to worry, but I will send him an email shortly telling him myself

Hope this helps.

Go bonkers!

But please send submissions to the email address provided on the Something Wicked site.
Edited:

Posting your pics here is fun and I will have a look at them here but I prefer to receive all official submissions by email as it automatically gives me a contact address.

I got a great cover idea 2.

Will start on it as soon as I got my Comicworx Jam page finished!!

Ok so Let me get this straight...
I can still submit art for the story content?

ARGH!

Thanks Joe...
I feel like a little of a tart don't I?

*giggle*
Jokes...

THANKS!
