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?

While it's true I'd like to participate I doubt I'd be able to do it since my art is not very good anyway XD

I'm very poor but for this thing I'll try my best at saving money! hopefully I'd be able to make it.

I have never printed so I dont know but sometime like the hetalia calendar size could actually make it... (maybe smaller)

[haro.livejournal.com]

Wh-what are you talking about, your art is great!

Well the Hetalia calendars are really MASSIVE, think poster size. Japanese anime calendars are always really, really big. While that would be amazing, I think it would cost A LOT to print and ship something that huge. XD So... smaller? But debating how small...

[kanami-yuuta.livejournal.com]

uh is that so? then maybe I should do an audition as well... just in case...

oh god sorry I didnt know it was that expensive... mmm... are there any other calendar projects out there?

Re: As an audition

[haro.livejournal.com]

D'aww I love your art. But don't audition yet! I'll put up a separate post for that at a later point if we do this. :D

[bluubun.livejournal.com]

OHHH * m * sounds interesting! if auditions are made I'll def try out OuOb

[haro.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Your art is lovely so yay!

[ricecakespwn.livejournal.com]

Derp, I accidentally voted "maybe" instead of "yes" for the first poll XD My bad

[haro.livejournal.com]

If you want, you can fix it here. (http://www.livejournal.com/poll/?id=1634645&mode=enter) :D

[kisu-fu.livejournal.com]

Sounds great ;AA; I'd love to join!!

[sppandaaa.livejournal.com]

I was gonna say you better try out lolz

[sppandaaa.livejournal.com]

Sounds cool. I'm not picky on sizes. Maybe the default American size, or even a desk calender would be nice.

[lumossolarum.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely audition ^^

[maiyeng.livejournal.com]

Great idea! I would like to audition, but I'm a little worried about workload and deadlines.

[carnsy.livejournal.com]

I would love to participate with art but I doubt I'm good enough.. oh well. x33
As for the size I don't know anything about these, if I can draw, it can be any size, I love drawing huge pictures anyway ! 8D

[resimaderu.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to see how this develops - I may audition when the time comes..

[nutburger.livejournal.com]

THIS SOUNDS AWESOME.

I-I would love to audition, but I've never done anything like this before. It all depends on deadlines and stuff, but I really am interested!

[blulious.livejournal.com]

I put "YES" to all...||OTL

I hope I get chosen as an artist if this comes true. ^^;;

WE CAN BE GAKUEN BUDDIES FOR SEPTEMBER!! >D>

[kanami-yuuta.livejournal.com]

I think you're most likely to be there XD

[kanami-yuuta.livejournal.com]

already 43 people are interested... this might not be a bad idea at all! (hopefully)

[bluubun.livejournal.com]

If you don't I will flip shit bro BD

[ekazoo.livejournal.com]

Definitely interested o/ *gets practicing*

I think the standard calendar size would be nice, but then I don't know if that would be too expensive to print. ;-; Or maybe one of those thinner calendars? That would work. I think it would be fine as long as the pictures are big enough :) But yeah, this is an awesome idea! :D

[technoranma.livejournal.com]

sHit..... I have to try....

[shiny-phoenix.livejournal.com]

OH! I'd love to draw something for the calendar, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do so with school and all... And I don't know if my graphic skills are good enough... ^^;
