Hello dear reader, and thank you for downloading the ImpulseSV Zine! Included is the heart and soul of 8 authors and 32 artists who have all been inspired by our beloved ImpulseSV. This zine would not exist without our six dedicated mods—especially our admin, AdamMonter—and of course ImpulseSV himself. Were it not for the years of incredibly talented and funny content he's created, these pieces would not exist! We would also like to thank the wonderful MCYTblr community, which has supported us from beginning to end as we worked on this project.

From Skyblock and Naked and Scared with Skizz, to Hermitcraft with Tango, False, and Zed, to the JITS and GIGGS crews—we've been inspired by countless hours of entertainment, and have tried to create that same entertainment for you in our creations!

Due to some canon-typical graphic depictions of violence, our suggested age range is 15+.

It's us, the team from @smallishzine. I bet you're wondering how we got here.

Long story short, due to unfortunate circumstances we'd had to relocate the zine blog to here. If you've noticed a lack of activity over there, this is why. We apologize for any inconveniences!

In better news, the zine is still on track and will be releasing in the coming weeks! We hope you'll stick around with us for the ride :)

Cheers, mates! 💚

APPLICATION ROUND 2’S OPENING! 

As you have all been waiting for, today (as of this post), is the 30th of april! We have our application round open from now until the 20th of May, so make sure you apply before then! We wish you all the best luck on your applications!

We are delighted to present to you:

The background and UI artist application form:

(More info about the role of Background Artists is here, and info about the role of UI Artists is here)

The Writer application form:

(more information about the Writer role is here)

Common questions (and their answers):

How many applicants will you be taking? 

Background artist - 6-8, but flexible in that it depends on how many applications we have.

Script writers - 6-8, also flexible like background artists.

UI artists - 1-2. 

Will there also be applications for character artists/programmers/voice actors/item-prop artist? 

Nope! 

Character artists - As of now, we have character artists for each of the Lifers. However, if one of the artists drops out, we will most likely re-open a smaller application for them. But it seems unlikely.

Programmers - We already have programming covered at this point in the project.

Voice actors - We will also not be taking any Voice Actors, as that would be way too much trouble for multiple reasons. 

Item/prop artists - We are still early in development, and so we are not exactly sure what objects/items we would include. While the answer to needing item artists is most definitely a rotund yes, it might be a little while before opening applications for them, so, you might want to stick around for when that time comes.

What is required in the Background Artist portfolio? 

We require 3-5 pieces of art, but are pretty flexible if you have more you think we need to see. The pieces themselves preferably contain works that show your skills in composition, detail, and colour. Not all of the pieces need to be backgrounds, some may be character art or something else, but they still all need to show your skill to the best of your ability. You also do not only have to have mcyt art in your portfolio.

What needs to be in the writer’s portfolio?

For Writers, while we do need to see a few of your pieces as well as a link to your ao3, we mostly need your willingness to collaborate with other Writers! What we will be looking for in your works isn’t skill in prose, but characterisation and dialogue. Maybe a tiny bit of scene handling.

Can we have examples of the style UI is going to be in, and what we need for the portfolio?

You can see examples of the pixel art style here.

We'd like to see UI artists are capable of doing pixel art, knowing the principles, and having a good grasp on the style (aka: keeping shapes readable and knowing how to shade). When submitting examples, we'd like to see pieces you are proud of and you believe capture your pixel expertise best, whether they be full illustrations or smaller sprites, anything goes! Also be sure to include pixel animation examples!

You also do NOT need coding experience, you will not be doing that side of UI.

Here are the transparent images for coloring! Tag us if you post the colored pages, we'd love to see them! <3
