INFO
WHAT IS THIS PROJECT ABOUT?
Sk8 2022 Calendar is a SFW collaborative project that will contain a 12 month calendar featuring artwork for each month and a booklet with written works. Pieces will showcase the characters of Sk8 enjoying the different seasons and holidays for each month. We also hope to have various stationary-themed merch products.
HOW MANY CONTRIBUTORS WILL YOU ACCEPT?
We aim to have a minimum of 14 artists and 6 writers join the project and depending on interest check and app results we might have more!
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF A WRITER OR ARTIST FOR THIS PROJECT?
Artists - will be required to complete one 8.5x11 horizontal piece for a single calendar month and either two or more doodles that will be inserted within a written work OR one to two merch designs.
Writers - will be required to write two 1.5-2k pieces that will correspond with different months of the year.
Everyone - This is a collaborative project so Contributors will be expected to pitch their ideas and preferred months within our discord server to find partners to work with. Since Contributors are all required to complete more than one piece, they can partner with the same person or with multiple people.
WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCTS DO YOU PLAN TO SELL?
We will be selling a physical 11x17 spiral bound 12 month calendar and a physical A5 booklet with written works and doodles. Both will also be sold in digital PDF formats. There will also be various merch items available.
WILL THIS INCLUDE SHIPS?
Yes, the project will allow ships but only in SFW situations. Age-gap or adult-minor ships are not permitted.
WILL THIS BE FOR PROFIT OR FOR CHARITY?
The project will be split 50-50 between Profit and Charity. The Charity we decided on is Skate-Aid.
HOW WILL CONTRIBUTORS BE COMPENSATED?
All Contributors will receive a digital copy of the calendar and booklet. If enough sales are made during pre-orders to cover costs, Contributors will also receive a physical copy of the products.
