i've been tossing around different zine project ideas for a while and was finally inspired enough by this pixel art dating sim zine to decide to do a cute and casual project
long story short this is going to be a casual project for a digital zine distributed for free on itch dot io and maybe elsewhere, beyond being advertised on social media; your task is to simply draw a wanted poster for your oc in whatever style so pleases you
we'll maybe suggest a small donation to a bail fund or a prison abolitionist group (i am doing research on this as we speak) but this is supposed to just be COOL AND CASUAL
ALSO, contributors are going to be offered the chance to get a physical copy at production + shipping cost—we're not selling these or making a big to-do out of physical copies but it's just supposed to be a chance to be like, here's a cool thing i did and contributed to and i can hold it in my hands now
to be fully transparent the motivation is that it'll be good practice for me to coordinate that kind of thing but on a VERY SMALL scale lmao
anyway because this is such a casual affair we're not doing any kind of big drawn out application process; drop a link to your art here and i'll pp you with the discord we're using to organize this!!!
ALSO the timeline on this is that art is not due until the end of february, to accommodate the fact that i'm starting this just as the holiday season is also starting up lmfaooo
okay now on my personal account
anyway feel free to replurk feel free to ask questions feel free to pp me with private concerns!!!
hello i may want to throw in an character
an fella!!!! the potential snag is that bc this is going to maybe be printed we will probably need higher-quality scans of any traditional art; will that be doable?
I'd be happy to throw my hat into the ring with this guy! 
THE LINES THE ACTION THE DYNAMIC POSE!!!!
i'm going to wander away for a li'l bit and return to reach out to folks and answer questions in Some Time, probably
i'll let you know whenever my pen comes back in
interesting! here's mine! been a while since I've been in a zine
Oh this sounds fun. I have several OCs I could do for this but a couple in particular come to mind for the moment. As far as my art, let’s see. will this suffice?
reaches in my paw
!!!! 
technically that's two characters. the sword is a character too.
oooh. This could be fun
this sounds fun & for a good cause. i dont have a ton of finished art for my ocs but ive got fanart + the concepts kicking around 
I could be interested I have So Many Ocs
just a preposterous number of ocs
moepuff i can't pp you; pls send me a pp so i can get you the discord invite!!
otherwise i THINK i got everyone who posted art here; if your vague expression of interest did not come with art please include art if you want it to be solidified!!!
nidorina: oh weird let me send that when I'm back at my desk
I.
wait cancel panic figured it out
nidorina: i took this pencil drawing with my phone. Properly scanned inks are bot a problem
rad!!! just wanted to make sure you had access to proper scanning
Oh, this actually sounds like fun, and I've been playing with some new OCs lately!!
aaaa this sounds like fun
tysm for all the interest thus far y'all!!!!
"""applications""" (recruitment) will be open for uhhhhhhhhhh A While
with respect to the fact that this is a really casual affair and as such i do expect there to be a chunk of people who don't follow through so i figure we keep things open for a hot minute (especially since art's not due 'til february) to get a ton of people in
if you expressed Vague Interest but did not give me art, please give me art if you want to participate!!! if you gave me art but i have not contacted you, let me know because i missed it!!!
also!!!!!! we've decided on the bail project as our suggested charity; the zine will be free, but if folks donate $5 through a tiltify page, they'll get a package of blank wanted posters from any artists who were willing to contribute those
uh yeah I am totally on board
some art!!!
the timing on that response was phenomenal i had just opened up this plurk to put something else in here and you APPEARED
anyway the thing i was gonna put here is i tweeted about this too if you wanna help spread the recruitment effort!!!
hopepunk i can't pp you; please send me one so i can get you the discord!!
Retweeted!
tysm!!!! 💖
hi

smacks those in the top level so they don't get lost...
I have a template for wanted posters as a PSD if you like.
