A peculiar creature who's ever-changing and ever-increasing array of interests and hobbies leaves little-to-no time for a legitimate social life.
Feel free to talk to us, we don't bite.
FOOD (eating utensils included) is our topic for the Object Head Zine 2016 edition! Have fun portraying a cultural dish, your favourite snack, lazy leftovers! As I’ve mentioned before, ALL submissions will be accepted so long as they follow the guidelines below. Each person has a limit of up to 3 submissions. This will be a DIGITAL ZINE ONLY and will be available free upon completion (donation optional).
The guidelines are as follow:
Illustration-quality works in either digital or traditional mediums.
Both colour and b/w acceptable; background required. *BG can be as
simple as a pattern or colour block! Avoid utilizing a camera to submit
your images, please use a scanner.
The default size will be 6″x9″, 300 dpi (1800px x 2700px) but feel free to go larger or smaller, so long as it follows those proportions. Please work in a vertical format.
For consistency’s sake, keep faces to a minimum (You
can have eye(s) or you can have mouth(s) but don’t have both in a
humanoid arrangement.)
Please go for original characters (or fanart of your friend’s characters) and not so much established food object heads (e.g. the popcorn and soda heads from No More).
If you want to include humans, that’s fine as well but keep the ratio of people to object heads 1:1. Same goes for non-food object heads. If you want to include both non-food and humans in your image, make sure the majority goes to food object heads!
Content
should be at most PG-13: Romance is fine but after hours business
should not be implied, Blood is fine but no gore. In the end, use your
common sense.
Feel free to draw a comic or just an illustration! A comic counts as one submission.
Note that if a submission does not meet the above guidelines, I will either reject your submission or suggest improvements that would help your piece fulfill them. Please email
me at objectheadzine(@)hotmail(.)com if you have any further questions and I’ll do my best to reply
promptly. If you do not receive a message from me within a few days, please send it again. Final pieces submitted should be either in PNG or a one layer
PSD file format. Also send in your email/website/name you’d like to be
credited as. (Feel free to omit emails if that is more comfortable). When you’ve finished your piece(s), you are allowed to post them to your blogs as long as you link back to the zine blog!
SORRY FOR THE HAPHAZARD IMAGE MOSAIC but I’m having a sort of funky transitory period in my life and need extra funding to support myself properly…!
I do have a more “definite”/concrete list that shows things in a more categorized manner. I would have organized it in that fashion, but my images and styles and such are all over the place. I am willing to draw basically anything, capable of anything, and I have nearly no restrictions on subject matter (even going into nsfw territory). You can ask for a quote on a commission (be detailed when describing it) and I can give you a price.
There are additional things I can do like comics, pixel art, or animated things as well, but I have a limit on quantity as I don’t have too much time atm.
We are very close to completing this zine! The print tests look fantastic, and any hiccups will be fixed in time for the projected printing date.
I knew from the outset that this project would be a pricy venture. When I decided to offer the contributors a physical version of the zine, on top of the free digital edition, I realized I’d have to shoulder the production costs myself!
I’m prepared to cover the cost of printing the books and the bonus stickers, but I’m going to need help with the shipping. Right now, I’m facing ~$200 in shipping costs based on the addresses given to me.
If you’d like to help, please go to the «main page» and click the donate button! For donations of $10 or $15, you can get chibi or regular sketches respectively. Donate more, and you can get the equivalent as seen on «this sheet». Just make a note of it when donating!
I will remove the donate button after April. Any excess donation money will go towards compensating me for the printing costs. After the first run, there will be no more physical books.
Late to the party but here is my contribution to the objectheadzine. This might get a bit more tweaking before the final print, but so far it’s not too bad!
