Myself, along with a collection of other amazing artists, decided to put together a little bit of a Lycan Collab! A massive crowd of silly plants celebrating the art of making things go boom XD

Thank you to all who participated! Be sure to check out their blogs as well!

Thank you all so much for all your incredible support. We wouldn't be here without you. And of course, last but not least...

Thank you @bgsartcavern for gathering us together for this amazing project that was very fun to work on and singlehandedly pulled me out of artblock xD

And now

▶ Cue FTW - Let's be friends for a rave

Aka that classic Monopoly Draw-The-Squad, with a bunch of OCTAtag designs! This was really fun to do, even if I do think it looks a bit wonky. Considering how big Veetragoul is, it might get boring just traveling for days on end... don't ask where they got the monopoly game, mic nor cardboard box- /Silly

Here's everyone:

Mic guy: @enderteo13's Protagonist

Praying: @kiinther's Octahedron

On the floor: Canon! Protagonist (Based on both the cutscenes and in-game sprite)

Card duo: My Remixed Duo; Monde (right) and Vreni "Demi" Enix (left)

In jail: @czaneavecg's Deci

Here it is: the front cover of Beyond Shapes & Beats in all its glory!

With each character drawn by a unique artist alongside their canon game counterpart, it brings us back to our roots in the original Just Shapes & Beats game, and shows how far we've come and will continue to grow with our creativity as a community.

A massive thanks to our amazing cover artists: @shirosaki2003, @preattychilll, @usernumbernin-3, @romellodyisdreaming, @solsticecrest, @mineskye, @soulofzurvan, and @lukolucky! And, as always, assembled and formatted by @bgsartcavern.

One week remains...

We're just a week away from the release of Beyond Shapes & Beats on May 31st!! And to give you something to tide you over, we're releasing another cover teaser! It's not just the back cover we did something special for - after all, what would JSaB be without its players and bosses? Each character on the front cover is a different artist's take on the Players, the Boss, Lycanthropy, Barracuda, and the Friend/Cube.

Another preview of our free digital merch bundle - Minecraft skins made by the amazing @lukolucky (with photos taken by @pinktrashgoblin)! With versions optimized for both Bedrock and Java, every Minecraft player will be able to make the block game just a little more shaped. Releasing May 31st alongside the zine with the rest of the digital merch!

Back cover: REVEALED!

Finally, the reveal of our back cover in full! With 18 different artists, this collaborative cover (assembled by @bgsartcavern) shows how Just Shapes & Beats brought all different people together. Did you recognize anyone?

OUR WONDERFUL BACK COVER ARTISTS: @adventum-vaqui - @altromarnice - @alvilitytoart - @bgsartcavern - @beauh - @ckisle - @deltaqi - @dividedsingularity - @l00tkirby - @lukolucky - @lumhere - @pandoranoss - @poison-nekomimi - @real-ink-demon - @scindomundi - @slimyteeths - @soramarriaz - @spinnincircus

Something is coming...

18 characters. 18 artists. 18 AUs. All that together, and you get the back cover of Beyond Shapes & Beats: A JSaB Anniversary Fanzine.

For a zine meant to represent the vast and diverse community that JSaB has, a single artwork wouldn't fully encapsulate that uniqueness. Because of this, the front and back covers of Beyond Shapes & Beats are collaborative - with a different artist for every character. Do you recognize any of these silhouettes? Check back for the full reveal, coming soon!

Meet our contributors!

With only 3 weeks left until the release of the Beyond Shapes & Beats fanzine, we want to introduce you all to our wonderful team of 50+ artists, writers, animators, and more! They've all worked so hard these past months to bring you the best zine possible, and we wouldn't be here without them. Go check out their amazing work!
