Submissions are open for our fundraiser fan art zine! 📖
Added 2025-03-12 16:43:21 +0000 UTCJune is Pride Month and this year we'll be raising funds for Lambda Legal. It's an American civil rights organization that is the oldest and largest legal organization working for the rights of LGBTQ+ people and everyone living with HIV.
We'll be selling a limited-print fan art zine full of art from our community! All of the profits from our zine will be donated.
Want to get involved? We're seeking art from our community to include. For consideration, please submit using this form until March 28th.
We have a few rules for submissions:
The photos/art must be your own. Do not submit photos/art that is not something you yourself have created
The photo/art cannot be made using AI (this includes knowingly using AI as a reference!)
Do not submit something that you would want to continue editing/updating/changing, we cannot accommodate these requests.
Must feature something pertaining to Dungeons & Daddies (including all seasons, mini series, etc.)
Must feature art that is LGBTQIA+ (canon, ships, specific characters, etc) or created by an LGBTQIA+ artist.
In terms of technical requirements: we'll need at least 300 DPI and an ideal minimum of 6"x9" dimension size. If you want to double-check, here's a PSD template from the vendor! We will have a graphic designer layout the pages ourselves, so no need to do it yourselves.
We're looking forward to your submissions! We will send notifications to artists with selected piece(s) by early April.

2025-03-18 14:25:17 +0000 UTCNo, as long as you can scan it then traditional mediums are great!

2025-03-18 11:17:23 +0000 UTCThis is so exciting!! I’ve definitely got some pieces I’d love to submit! Is there a limit to how many art pieces we’re allowed to submit?

2025-03-14 21:49:58 +0000 UTCI love to draw but I draw on paper does it have to be digital?
Jordan
2025-03-14 14:21:45 +0000 UTCCompletely understandable! That is totally fine and an industry pratice (using references), so you should be good.

2025-03-14 09:10:18 +0000 UTCI think the intention is not to have a bunch of people make new art, rather it is to submit existing art. If this is the only reason why’d you would draw fanart, I don’t think this project is for you. Just feels incredibly cynical to assume these people don’t care about a project like this. There’s FAR better ways to get a tax break. And honestly, the evaluator this is probably pretty low on the grand scheme of things. I’m choosing to believe that they are doing it because Anthony is outwardly queer and wants to celebrate his community. It’s harder to virtue signal about something that you are a part of.

2025-03-14 08:35:45 +0000 UTCHey hey I'm a bit of a dumb ass so I have to ask. I'm a digital artist (a crap one but I still am one 🫠) And I gave up on anatomy a long time ago I don't really care about being good I just really enjoy it and even if it is shitty I still thought it would be cool to enter BUT I use free to use or paid bases because what the fuck even is the human body I hate it so much dead ass cried once over drawing a hand ANYWAY if I use base does that count as not my own?? I don't want to break any rules. It's literally just the body and the face which I'll probably alter anyway. Anyway please let me know thanks y'all 😭😭 Stay safe don't forget to drink water and have a snack ❤️❤️

2025-03-13 14:40:02 +0000 UTCDamn. My preferred art medium is audio otherwise I'd be ALL OVER THIS. Can't wait to see what the community comes up with; there are some EXTREMELY talented folk out there.

2025-03-13 12:48:59 +0000 UTCSadly there is only a small amount of people that can actually contribute though. I could spent up to 25 hours drawing fan art for this charity event and i just won't get selected. So even if I do donate my time, I might just not be able to participate anyway. And even though they don't profit directly from this charity event, they still get some money through tax returns since this can be written off as a business expenses. I love that they show support to my community but I think this is not a good way to do so. This feels more like virtue signaling then anything else.

2025-03-12 21:05:40 +0000 UTCWanted to circle back with this: In terms of technical requirements - we'll need at least 300 DPI and an ideal minimum of 6"x9" dimension size. If you want to double-check, here's a PSD template from the vendor: https://m13print.com/Templates/booklets/6x9.psd

2025-03-12 20:23:52 +0000 UTCAs a dad of 4 that at least 3 are of the LGBTQ+ community, I really wish I had the artistic capabilities they do. Regardless, this is a great thing and I can't wait to see how this turns out!

2025-03-12 20:06:58 +0000 UTCVery true! Thank you. Will add.
Ashley Nicollette
2025-03-12 19:33:33 +0000 UTCJumping in with my two cents: community non profit, for charity zines are fairly common within fandom spaces - granted, most usually have applications, vet through artists and accept a small amount (which I think might be worth considering here if this zine is going to be printed, just to ensure the size of the zine is possible and each artist gets properly credited) - and this seems like a fun way to involve the community for a good cause!

2025-03-12 19:06:32 +0000 UTCThis is so cool. I am NOT an artist and am always amazed at the fan art. Can’t wait to see this!
BumblingRose
2025-03-12 18:35:49 +0000 UTCI think it's a great way for artists who want to contribute to the charity but might otherwise not be able to afford it themselves, to be able to participate. I know when I was younger I couldn't afford it, but I could still donate my time, and this is giving people a platform to do so. If it were something Daddies would profit from it would be a different matter.

2025-03-12 18:28:25 +0000 UTCI get what you're saying, and they could donate themselves, but involving us makes it feel like a community and a celebration :) Speaking for myself, it gives me a way to a) celebrate something I love with others who love it too, and b) contribute to a fundraising that's far, far bigger than anything I could do myself. Personally I couldn't be more thrilled.

2025-03-12 17:51:52 +0000 UTCSo excited for this!! I know in the comments you say "follow your heart" re: size requirements, but if it's going to go to print then the pictures will need to be saved in high quality (300 dpi etc etc) – worth adding some info about that in case participants aren't used to working with print 🙏

2025-03-12 17:44:47 +0000 UTCReminder that you have until March 28th to get that skill cracked open!
Ashley Nicollette
2025-03-12 17:35:56 +0000 UTCThis feels somewhat disappointing imo. Maybe I'm getting something wrong here or I'm missing information but, asking LGBTQ artist for free art to then, take the praise for donating someone else's works earnings to a charity seems kinda exploitative. They could pay an artist for the artworks or just donate something themselves (Wich they might still do) but doing it this way seems lazy and cheap. But again maybe it's just a miscommunication or misunderstanding For more context read responses below...

2025-03-12 17:19:46 +0000 UTCAs long as it's a finalized piece and you won't need to submit revisions, follow your heart!
Ashley Nicollette
2025-03-12 17:13:44 +0000 UTCAre there size/color requirements for the pieces? I’d love to submit something but want to make sure it’s within the parameters!

Laura Chandler
2025-03-12 16:55:30 +0000 UTCDo we just share links to where the art is hosted? Or is there an upload option?
