    chirart:

    I get a lot of people asking me for advice, online and offline, about how to go about starting a comic—especially a webcomic.

    Over many rehashings of the same key points, I have finally condensed my advice to ten points:

    1. Just do it.

    2. No, really. Just do it.

    3. But it’s haaaa-NO, JUST DO…

    good advice

Attention video game nerds/artists!!!   I’m putting together a zine called Bits in Multiples of 8: An 8bit-64bit Video Game Fan Art Zine which, as you may have guessed, is a zine dedicated to the days when  the power of a video game system was judged by how many bits it said it  had, and how much excellence could be crammed on a single cartridge!    The cover of the zine is going to be hand screenprinted, with grayscale interiors, and will be 5.5x8.5 inches, and will feature piles of  pixel-fueled radness from a bunch of high-scoring artists!What I’m looking for is: Original artwork (comics, illustrations, etc.) that is based off of any  videogame or videogames that came out for any system between the life  of The original Nintendo NES, and the Nintendo 64.   This includes games for the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Sony Playstation, Sega Master System, Sega Saturn, Ninendo Gameboy, Sega CD, etc. Basically any 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit system.   These pieces  can be based on a single specific game or combination of games, your  personal reactions/experiences with the games, characters from different  games hanging out and partying, whatever you want so long as you have  fun with it and make sure to capture the spirit of the originals while  putting your own spin on it!I won’t be accepting: Art  based on games that came out for systems that don’t fit the theme (Xbox,  Playstation 2, Sega Dreamcast, Gamecube, or later), drawings that are  too focused on looking exactly like the style of art already  created  for the game, or exact redrawings of art created for the game or games  you choose.  I also won’t be accepting full color submissions, or submissions that are not formatted to fit an 5.5”x8.5” page vertically.Everyone who submits is more than welcome to submit  as much art as they like, but just a word of warning, there’s a pretty  good chance that everything submitted won’t be able to make it into the  zine.  I hate to be exclusionary, but I will have to be in this case,  but so long as you do something that I dig, it’ll go in the book, no  probelmo!
I am accepting both single page submissions (5.5x8.5 inches) and full spreads (8.5x11 inches).  Submissions must be in grayscale.  The deadline for submissions is February 28th,  so anything sent between now and then will be considered!   If you  would like to submit, or if you have any questions at all, you can  contact me through this tumblr, or you can shoot me an email at  jimmyg@jgillustration.com!!! Thanks a ton, and I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!!!

…eight more days to submit something? dang how did I only find out about this now ;_;
