USxUK Calendar Project

[haro.livejournal.com]

kanami_yuuta brought up an awesome idea for a community project, and I figured I'd run it all by you.

How would you all feel about producing a 2011 USxUK calendar, featuring art by the talented members of this community?

Cost for the calendar would be cost of printing+shipping to you. I don't have a cost yet, but I'd try my damndest to keep the total with shipping under twenty dollars.

As for art, we would need THIRTEEN different artists in order to participate; one for each month and one for the cover. I imagine that if this goes through, more than thirteen artists may be interested. I'd be putting up a post (with screened comments) to serve as an 'audition' of sorts, where artists can submit some of their previous art and we decide from there. All artists will be given proper credit. I plan on printing the calendars with either the name of the artist and a link to their livejournal/devart/website/wherever on their respective page, or with an 'index' in the back featuring that information.

POLL TIME!

[Poll #1634645]

YOU DO NOT NEED TO VOTE IN ALL THREE. VOTE IN ONLY THE ONES THAT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE NOT AN ARTIST, *PLEASE* DO NOT VOTE IN POLL THREE.

Now looking for some member feedback:

-If this calendar goes through, how would you like it to be set up? Size, printing, etc.

-For me: I would love suggestions as to the best places to get high quality printing for a good price. I live in the states, but I am willing to order from an overseas site if they ship here, so don't let that limit you. I've been looking around at places myself, but I know we have some fans here who have printed doujinshi and such that may have great suggestions.

-Any other suggestions for the project?

Yay sounds like a wonderful idea 8D
Even though I shouldn't do it (since I'm so busy OTL), it would be really cool to be a part of it!! So I'll probably audition lol 8D

When It comes to size, something not too big is fine with me...

[monobuu.livejournal.com]

This is a great idea! And I'm excited to see so many are interested.

I put a big whopping YES to all three. If you guys want chibi art for one of the months, I will definitely try out! XD

[lostdonut.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda interested, but I'm not sure if my art is good enough ;__;

[jazzchyk.livejournal.com]

Sure. I'll audition. If I get the money before it's done, I'll even buy one.;)

[sugaovadose.livejournal.com]

Ohhh I'm interested *A*!

I would want to audition and also purchase the calender <3

[technoranma.livejournal.com]

...Who would be 'judging' the auditions?

[kuroneko4862.livejournal.com]

I might buy it.....if the shipping fee wasn't so high.It could be even higher than the calendar's price~ Damn those corruptor bastard!!! And, uh, another thing, there's a custom in my country that the one who check your belonging may take something from your luggage, "i.e: you bring 3 apples, they take 1 or 2, or sometimes ALL" It's like an unwritten rule that you can't protest, unless you want all your staff get taken by them. Man, my country sucks~~ I WANT IT~~~

a standard US-size calendar (or a mini one of it) would be great imho

[colevic.livejournal.com]

I'll audition. >.> Dunno if I'm good enough, but I would love to try.

[caohime.livejournal.com]

O-Oh man, I'd love to audition, seeing as we have many takers xD Do I need to post some links up now?? As for size, really doesn't matter to me, I'll do it xD

[sutekikage.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...When would you have this audition up approx.? And when would the artwork be due? Also, would the artist make any profit from it or is this just for fun? Cause I think I'd like to try, but I've got to get some actual colour samples done first xD

[gloomybunny.livejournal.com]

It would be really fun to draw something for this, but i dont think my art would be good enough >< Id definitely buy one though! ^w^

[dunya01.livejournal.com]

I hope I make it through the audition ;-;

[alatherna.livejournal.com]
