See! Wasn't this fun???!!!
Let's do it again!
June is a dedicated issue to
3D Modelers. So unless you create 3D models, it sort of limits the zazzle folk in that issue. One way around it is the peoople who do use D/S, Poser, Vue and any other 3D program to create thier work. I could use that style to showcase 3D Models in the June issue!
I am still trying to get a list of themes or ideas from Galardian on upcomming issues to let everyone know in advance what is comming up, so they can participate if they want to!!!
Remember, your art can be a NON-PRODUCT! But that opens the door to adding your zazzle store link!
See how that works!?
If you want a Banner on OC, and you are a zazzle person you must submit it
through me, and you must submit art that is not a product ad.
In other words, you want to submit a piece of artwork, and even tho it might be planned to be used as a product, your not "pushing" a product, you are showcasing your talent. Getting your zazzle store "mentioned" and promoted is a perk of submission!!!
Not the other way around.
The e-zine has a large readership, primaraly Fantasy, and Sci-Fi. A comment or suggestion on the genre of OC readership. If you don't do any Sci-Fi/Fantasy, maybe you might try to do something less definable as either. Beautiful work like Csprinks is a definite cross over style, and it defies clarification! It can be Fantasy or Sci-Fi! Kudos there!!!
So remember, post your ideas and art, stay in the genre's, and reap the rewards of recognition!
I just wanted to add that I hope I had clarified the way to submit clearly?
You need to make sure that your copyright info is on the work, as well as sent in the e-mail that the submission is in. That is so if it is indecipherable I can add it in postproduction. If it doesn't make the cover, I have to resize it to be of use throughout the e-zine. I want to make sure that everyone's info is clearly ledgible, and if it is too small I can edit it into the refit. I am meticulous about a beautful, clean mark for your work. And on the Bio-ettes... I am suggesting to Gabe that we do a Bio page and have a redirect in the zine under the pic for those. That way it might be easier to do any corrections or updates for the artist.
Lastly, I had one comment to make.
I have had an issue with person's wanting to add info after the publication. An e-zine is not like a post that you can edit at whim. Even many forums I am at, after you've posted and 30 minutes passes, you cannot edit your post. So to come back and want a larger bio and to change a copyright date, is a lot of work when the e-zine has been released. It takes hours to upload because of the art content.
I collect and edit the art. I am not the publisher. So to avoid this in the future if the complete info is not included, I will leave that art out of the e-zine, and not send the multiple e-mails I did to get all info up front.
Do not think this is directed at anyone in particular. All of you sent your info and art in a very timely and complete way!!!
Just one didn't.
