We have one double slot left. Do you want to sign up for it?

It’s be an honor to have a full page spread <3

bullshark · August 4, 2020, 11:58pm

Yeah I want the last spread for this bitchin’ snowman!

Kingroy23 · August 9, 2020, 6:50pm

Hey folks, hope things are proceeding smoothly!

@LF_OSR set up a Discord, we can use it to chat about the zine.

This should be linked in the “about” or “faq” sections!

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING ARTWORK TO THE ZINE

If possible please submit artwork at 300 DPI - this will help with image quality / clarity when we create the final versions for digital and POD. If you have previous artwork that is not at 300 DPI, or have already started a piece at a different DPI, there’s a couple things we can attempt to upscale the image without too much loss from the original version. If you’re not familiar with how to do that just let me know.

Feel free to reach out in the zine Discord if you have any art related questions aside from the DPI. Can’t wait to see some of the awesome artwork from creators here!

Hey folks,

I’ve made a tiny tweak to the templates (aligning the page number bubbles), and the updated files have been uploaded to the Drive.

@SunkenPlanets has also made some AWESOME Indesign templates, so those of you with Adobe subscriptions can get cracking. You can also find these in the drive.

LF_OSR · August 15, 2020, 5:04pm

Not sure where to start? Do you want some feedback on what you’re already working on? Don’t know where you’re going to get the artwork you need?

Join the Pit Zine Discord channel and ask away! We’re here to help.

A sneak peak of the latest cover art mock up! Does anyone else have any artwork they’ve been working on?

reptilianesoterica · August 16, 2020, 9:15pm

@Kingroy23 Got my submission in there for ya in the google drive folder. Let me know if you need anything else.

Kingroy23 · August 18, 2020, 1:50am

Awesome. These encounters look really great. If anyone has some spare time, it’d be great if you could paste Reptilian’s work into the template.

FilthPig · August 18, 2020, 10:40pm

Any word on a hard due date?

maderschramm · August 18, 2020, 11:32pm

Targeting the end of August.

Kingroy23 · August 19, 2020, 4:35am

Hey everyone!

The HARD DEADLINE for submission is Saturday, September 5.

Lancraft · August 19, 2020, 7:24pm

Got a piece of commissioned art in for my spread. Very pumped! Will hopefully submit a layout draft in the next week.

Kingroy23 · August 19, 2020, 7:51pm

Jaw drops

That is… beautiful! That style of art just makes me happy, that’s really awesome.

Lancraft · August 19, 2020, 8:12pm

Yeah,it’s pretty insane. I was stunned when I opened it this morning. Johngagne.art for the huge win on that one.

LF_OSR · August 20, 2020, 2:17am

Incredible, what a piece! I can get lost in those colors for days…

perplexingruins · August 20, 2020, 1:42pm

I really dig this, like post-conventional fantasy. Really nice, does the artist have a social media account (instagram) to see more?

Lancraft · August 20, 2020, 4:26pm

Yup his name is John Gagne. His site is Johngagne.art and if you Google johngagneart his Instagram and reddit will pop up too! His pieces are amazing. They’re so small, yet create such huge lush world’s.
