AND THATS A WRAP! Interest Check has officially been concluded! Thank you for your wonderful responses 🫨 We'll get back to you once all info has been sorted out!
Stay tuned for our contributor applications opening on May 4th!
While Blue Team is diligently sorting through the interest checks (sort of?) we wanna let you know you can now ask us any questions on our curious cat linked below!
While Contributor Apps are going on, let's set up another round... Comment below who you want Hachi and Goggles to go against! We will pick a random opponent :)
To clarify, instead of putting the leader's names, I've put the ink colors instead. Team Rider, Gloves, the S4, are included in the major teams. Sorry for the confusion! It will be fixed shortly 🙏

We are mostly leaning toward choosing zine beginners but portfolio-wise make sure you have a cohesive style, good use of colors, and a good understanding of anatomy. For writers, we would appreciate it if you have Coroika-related fics! We're looking for good characterizations.
"how many artists will be expected to be accepted? will they be chosen from the best of the best, focused on who have little zine experience, etc.?"
- We're aiming for 48 contributors, 4 for each team. Although, this number might change depending on interest check!
If braids/mitsuami wins, she will be getting her own emote in the zine discord server 🙌 but if googles/hachi wins they'll get their own emotes too!
tldr: 1 new character emote vs 2 new existing character emotes
"i don't have a massive following? i'm kinda slow with art? would this be ok?"
- We won't be looking at your social media following! As long as you can meet the progress check/check-ins you will be good.
"This is the first time joining a zine and sounds exciting! Will there be physical copies that we can buy? (and how does zine work exactly? How does one get accepted in a zine?)"
- Hello! There wont be physical copies and it will be free for everyone once it releases. (1/2)
"What are the minimum/maximum canvas sizes? Is there also a specific color scheme we’ll have to follow? Thank you!"
- Format is A5, 5.8 x 8.3 in (2480 x 1748 pixels). No specific color scheme! Unless you want to follow what I (gummy) for the zine art, you're welcome to!
"What is going to be the expected format of the piece? / Does the piece need to include all members of the team? (Sorry if this was already asked somewhere ;;;)"
- The expected format is A5, 5.8 x 8.3 in (or 2480 x 1748 pixels). The piece doesn't need to include all the members!
(2/2) Zine contributors will create a piece of art/writing that will be combined into a digital book/pdf by the mods at the end of the creation period. You can get accepted to the zine by applying once contributor applications roll out :]
There are a few questions about headcanons from curiouscat and the interest check
- Headcanons are fine as long as the character is recognizable and doesn't deviate too much from their original design. No genderbending.
Hello- I said this in the interest check but now realize this would probably be a better place to put it (apologi… — Not at all! We're beginner friendly and you'll be able to ask the mods anything. We don't bite :D
"Are we technically allowed to do (subtly) headcanon designs. Not changing entire species or hairstyles(unless permitted) just,,, adding small things to the character??"
- Yes! You're allowed to add small things! You can also add small details to hairstyles of course.
"Are there any plans to include digital merch in this zine? If so, will the merch artist application be different from the page artist app?"
- No, there won't be any digital merch for this zine.
"There's a lot of characters in the Best 8, would you guys divide it as hierarchy and outside of hierarchy characters or?"
- The people who will be chosen for the Best 8 can choose which team they want to draw within or outside the hierarchy as long as there--
