Submission Guidelines for Artists

[spn-rbang-mod.livejournal.com]

As promised, here are the guidelines for submitting art for the spn_reversebang . Art drafts are due September 20th, but you can start sending them whenever you are ready.

• Submissions should be sent to spn.rbang.mod@gmail.com with the subject Art Submission. Attach the file(s) to the email.
• You can submit one to three prompts. These prompts should not be linked, as each prompt could be chosen by different authors. If you are doing a comic style piece with panels, it must be one image file.
• There is no maximum size or dimensions for art, though each art prompt must be at least 400 by 600 pixels in size. If it is a vid it must be at least 1 minute in length.
• Because of the large number of artists and prompts, the claims post will include links to full size art rather than previews. There is no need to submit a thumbnail version.
• Images can be sent in the following formats: GIF, JPG, PNG, and TIF
• Vids can be sent in the following formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, MOV, MPEG, MPG, RM, RV, and WMV
• We will be requiring the following naming convention: artistname_prompt#. For example spn_rbang_mod_prompt1.jpg. This will allow us to keep things organized and to ensure no duplicate file names.
• For each image you need to fill out the following information:

Livejournal Name:
Email:
Prompt #:
Canon: (RPF or Supernatural)
Rating:
Suggested Pairing(s): (indicate here if you want gen, have pairing preferences or don’t care either way)
Description:

• You can copy and paste this code into your email to make sure you don't forget anything.
  <strong>Livejournal Name:</strong><br /><strong>Email:</strong><br /><strong>Prompt #:</strong><br /><strong>Canon</strong>: <br /><strong>Rating</strong>: <br /><strong>Pairing(s): </strong><br /><strong>Description:</strong>

Here is an example of what the body of the email should contain:

Livejournal Name: spn_rbang_mod
Email: spn.rbang.mod@gmail.com
Prompt #: 1
Canon: Supernatural
Rating: G for art, fic can higher
Pairing(s): Gen or Anna/Tessa
Description: Anna (with wings!) and Tessa/Death.

Livejournal Name: spn_rbang_mod
Email: spn.rbang.mod@gmail.com
Prompt #: 2
Canon: Supernatural
Rating: PG
Pairing(s): Gen
Description: Henrickson on a hunt. The creature he is hunting is in a forest. Three panels.

ETA: We've gotten a few questions about the term prompt. "Prompt" refers to the vid/piece of art that will be used in the claims post.

ETA 2:  There have been a few questions about what the rating refers to - the fic or the art.  We'd like you to include a rating for the art itself first, but please feel free to include a note about the rating of the fic you're looking to inspire as well.  E.g.  "Rating:  Art is PG13, but the fic can be higher. ;)"  ...or something.

Wait, can you clarify how many pictures we can submit for a single prompt?

I wanted to do one prompt with a set of four pictures, and another separate prompt with a single picture. Would that be okay?

Each prompt for the claims post is one image or vid file. This file can contain multiple panels (like this (http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m13/creativescreenname/attemtp_unique_prompt2.png)) or can just be one frame.

Once the claims have been made, you can use as many pieces as you want and give them to the author, but for the claims post it needs to be one file.

Okay, whoops. Ignore my last comment, I obviously need to refresh a page before commenting XD;

Thank you for the clarification!
