We're a winter-themed Splatoon zine, with a focus on the smaller artists in our community!

Will there be digital merch such as emotes and stickers?
Yes! We'll be holding digital merch artist applications alongside page artist apps.
Once applications open, would applicants need to submit at least one Splatoon-related piece as one of their examples, or would it be not required, but highly encouraged instead?
Having at least one Splatoon-related piece is highly encouraged, but not required! We'd love to see your splat style include in your portfolio in some way, even if it's a sketch!
Will applicants need to prove they're inexperienced in some way?
We're going off the honor system! Based on the feedback we've gotten in the past week, we're currently planning on choosing an even mix of those who haven't been in zines before, and those who have! Either if you're totally new to the zine scene, or you're a zine veteran, we look forward to your application when they open on February 6th! 🩵
How do I get the zine?
After it's been put together, we plan on releasing the zine as a digital PDF! It will be shared as a google drive link on our socials. Please look forward to it on December 21st, the day of the Winter Solstice! ❄️
Is ship art allowed for the zine?
Yes! Ship art will be allowed in this zine. As long as it's SFW, you may depict things such as kissing or, if you're feeling scandalous, hand holding.
Hello! Are there any alternative forms of communication available for contributors instead of Discord? Currently I don't have an account, and though I will make one if necessary because I really want to participate, I've stayed off Discord for specific reasons (eg. Use of AI and privacy issues) and would prefer it if anything else could be used.
Hello! Unfortunately Discord is the main form of communications for most zines, and this one! Having everyone in the same place makes it easier for us to hold contributors to the schedule. We'll look forward to your application when they open on February 6th!
Is there a limit to how many submissions an artist can contribute?
We plan on limiting page artists to 3 submissions! (Although, if you're capable of creating more than 3, we may not say no!)
We'll have extra long check-in periods for this zine, but we ask that you focus on one piece at a time. This is to ensure that if anything goes wrong, you'll have at least one completed piece to be included in the zine!
