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.

but if our prompt gets chosen, we will get the chance to get in contact with the writer so we can let them know that there is already a second art piece or something that they can have a look at to get a better idea?

I was asking myself the same question! I drew a whole story based on 4-5 drawings (for each prompt) and that is only understandable if I have a chance to get in touch with the author and to transmit her the rest before she starts writing. -_____-

Yes, when it has been claimed you can send the author all the art you have! Also, you can mention that there are additional pieces in the description.
