Pixelberry Calendar Project 2k17!

(even though I'm sort of on hiatus for the fandom, I also wouldn't mind an opportunity to redo my pieces?) (also i love the sound of a 2017-2018 summer released calendar and I hope it goes well!!!)

changing from a 2017 calender to a definitive 2017-2018 calendar

reasons being:

i have not had time to work on my own pieces, including the cover

i can absolutely account for a summer release; as it stands, the more i try to work on it while balancing heinous school and work hours, i am unable to get it out quicker. by releasing it this summer i can assure it will be the best it can be! i cannot give a solid date, but I hope for June since the semester ends in May.

participating artists:

i think i’d like to compensate you guys for your work! i know i originally wanted you all to volunteer-- and i’m grateful you did! but as time goes on and i find myself more unable to find time for this project, you guys deserve to be paid for your passion!

 i’m working out the details on this, whether i end up putting a pwyw on it’s initial release to go towards compensation or pull from my own pocket, i cannot assure at the moment, but the closer we get to our (hopeful) june release, the better i can gauge what i want to do.

anyway:

i can apologize profusely over and over for not being able to get this out as soon as i wanted to; it was a very last minute project and it was silly of me to take it on by myself, especially since i wasn’t expecting this semester to be as harrowing as it is. but rather than apologize, i’m trying to be very straight forward about the situation and that i cannot time manage very well; it’s something i am learning to do.

SO i think i’ll be adding a couple of things! i’ve considered adding more things to the calendar especially since we now have a few choices stories that haven’t been covered in the current plans; and changing the dates to include 2018 may give us some leeway (and give artists more time haha!) to work on pieces for braidwood manor, endless summer, and lovehacks. if there’s interest, at least. i wouldn’t want to tack on work for 6 more pieces if there wasn’t.

you are SO SWEET,,,,,

and YEAH!!! i am super sorry for going dark without saying anything!!! uni’s kicking my butt with 3-4 projects due in the next week and my internship’s kept me super busy too Q_Q not a moment to breathe, especially no time to do this project ;o;

HELLO!!!

I apologize for the delay in announcements! Spring semester started for me at uni and I’ve been way busy with studying (oof) for classes!

As of right now, I can promise, perhaps, by the end of the month? For sure. Before then. Haha. Goal is to have everything done by January 31.

I apologize for my inconsistency! I’m only one person curating this so please understand that this is a very large project for me to take on in my free time!

Hello!!! This is an update!!!

Thank you artists for your submissions/checking in with me/yadda yadda yadda. I super appreciate you! I was super busy tabling at con this weekend, but your messages & emails & everything came through and, ahem, i gotchu

That being saaaaaaid,

There are a few hiccups and complications! Nothing to worry about really (for you, haha)! But we’re going to have a couple of flips and flops because of things that were frankly out of our control. Life happens, you feel? And that’s ok! Life happens, and we roll with it.

Now with THAT being saaaaaaid,

I hope you guys still enjoy the calendar all the same!! We have some really AMAAAAZING art and AMAAAAZING artists who put their time into making this!! As the curator, I can tell you: it’s gonna be cute. Heck yea.

I’m sorry we couldn’t get this out to you right at the beginning of the month! But hey, holidays. Life. We roll with it. I hope you still love it, you guys!

hello!!!! thank you for being excited!!!!! :>

it’s been a busy week for me personally and i have a couple of things to sort out and work on (which i will explain here soon!)

the artists will be announced within the week and the calendar definitely before february! that’s all i can say right now because things are starting to get busy ;o;!!! 

yes!! i have a few ways you can send it:

1. just message thru the messenger here on tumblr!

2. email me: [email protected]

1. if you have messaged me and i haven’t responded it’s because i definitely read it and got too swamped to reply!! i’ll get back to you guys within the week ;;

2. speaking of messages if you applied to be an artist and have not responded to my first message to you please do so!! it’s important

3. also current artists if you guys think you have the stamina/more time to do more than what’s being asked of you, you are welcome to message me to talk about the pieces we’re missing! please note that they’re mostly background pieces and we can absolutely talk about what to draw if you want to do it!!! 

4. however i’m already asking so much of you guys already and i love u thank u for your hard work

i believe i said before the due date for your drawings was january 7!!!

i am pushing the date back to january 15 to give everyone an extra week!! holidays are hectic, haha

A REMINDER that if anyone who did not apply but wants to do a piece (or if any current artists are willing to tackle another piece) please do send a message!! we’d love to have you!!

i cannot let you go through the application process as normal, much of the pieces have been filled but there ARE pieces that need to be made and cannot be handled by myself ;o;

if you’re worried you are not skilled enough, please know that that is not a factor that is considered, this calendar is a project for fanartists to draw for games they love!! all fanart is beautiful and wonderful and i encourage you to try just to be a part of it! :> if you have issues with some of my piece requirements (canvas sizes/traditional reqs/etc) please message me and we can figure something out!!

Your deadline for your pieces will be January 7!! Please message me with any questions or if you need an extension! :>

If you have not replied to my message to you yet, please do so! It’s very important. Winks really hard.

ALSO!!! If you missed the artist application but are STILL INTERESTED in being an artist, please message us! We could use a couple of extra hands :)

The side pieces have a lot more flexibility than bg pieces have so! Yeah!

They can definitely be character portraits! Or they can be full-bodied pieces, or two or more characters interacting, or chibis, or inanimate objects!!

Side pieces will only have a few requirements, which are as follow (and more will be added to the artist app page! Sorry about not adding this stuff earlier haha!):

Must have a white background that can easily be made transparent (a smaller, simple background is welcome!)

It should be able to fill at least half of a page!

I will let you know what side of the page the side piece will be on, by the way, just for variation!

I’ve sketched up a clearer picture of what the bottom half (numbered half) of the calendar will (roughly) look like on each page!
