Welcome to the ITF Calendar Project 2017!
The ITF Calendar Project is rising from the...sleeping! Hello again to all of you that already know us, a warm welcome to those that are new!
The aim of the project is to bring you a calendar for 2017, filled with fanart of this incredible show and its amazing characters. There will be a busy few months ahead - we will be opening artist sign ups the following Monday (the 15th of August), allocating months by the 9th of September, and accepting art submissions up until the 10th of October - all to have the calendar ready and available for you from the 1st of November. It will be a fantastic chance for artists to show their work, and for fans to own something special relating the series.
• Artists will be able to sign up from the 15th of August, and request five months they’d like to illustrate, although they will only end up drawing for one (you will be able to specify on the form if you’d like to be considered for more). Each month will have a specific character or pairing.
• We will allocate months to the artists. We are aiming to have five pieces of art for each month - one winner chosen for the calendar itself, the others featured on our twitter.
• Once the artists have done their hard work, we will compile the calendar and make it available for sale using createphotocalendars, and at the lowest possible price. This is a non-profit project! The final prices will be as low as possible, covering only printing and shipping costs, plus a small addition that will be donated to the mental health charity MIND (as chosen by Dominic Mitchell for the 2016 project).
• Like and reblog this post, and give us a follow, both on tumblr and on twitter and track the tag. Spread the word!
• Look forward to November (when the calendar will be available for sale) and to seeing all the gorgeous art that has been created for the show and this project!
• Check out our blog for more info, and send us an ask if you have any questions that aren’t answered on our FAQ page.
• HELP US NOW by messaging us with suggestions for the new “Inspirational Wordclouds”! The wordclouds exist to make the work for the artists a bit easier by providing them with inspirational words that they can use to gain ideas for their drawings. WE ARE SEARCHING FOR INSPIRATIONAL WORDS OR EACH MONTH; brainstorm with us: What is a word/are words that always scream “January!!” to you? What reminds you of February? What is typical for every March? What amazing thing happened to you in April? You get the gist...
Also: We’d love to hear your opinion about which month should feature which ITF character or pairing (canon or not, doesn’t matter!) Send us a list with your “ideal” month and character combination.
WE WILL NOT PUBLISH THOSE MESSAGES UNLESS YOU SPECIFY IN YOUR MESSAGE THAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO. This is a chance for anyone in the fandom to play a part in the project, you of course don’t need to be an artist to take part in this part!
Please send us all your suggestions until AUGUST 14TH, and check out this link for the words and characters that we used last year (you can re-use them, or get inspired by them, whatever you want)
This project is being run by by intheflesh-art, mcmirrr and theundeadsiren. The artwork on our blog was kingly created for us by 00silvad.
