Calling All Fanartists!

Some of you may remember the fanartist self-portrait project I helmed several years ago. It was an awesome success, as you can see above. And since I love self-portraits and fanartists so much, I’ve decided it’s time to do a reboot. While previously I invited only Supernatural artists, this year I’m opening it up to any fanartist in any fandom.

Here’s how it works:

Stop drawing Bucky Barnes and Castiel for five seconds and draw yourself! Send your portrait to me. I’ll turn us into a group portrait. BAM.

The details:

• Draw in your own style. No nudity or gore please.
• All ages and skill levels welcome.
• Make your portrait 300dpi, whether you’re drawing digitally or scanning something traditional. Transparent formats are best, but as long as you keep the background simple so it can be erased, you’ll be fine.
• To keep the group portrait looking as uniform as possible, avoid dramatic lighting or poses. Keep things simple. Draw from the waist up. Use the group portrait above as a guide for lighting, pose, colors, etc.
• Email me your portrait here: keyblackfox[at]gmail.com
• If you aren’t a fanartist, and you still want to draw a self-portrait with us, of course you’re free to! Self-portraits are great practice and good for the soul. Tag your portrait #summerportraitproject so we can see you!

If there’s enough interest, I may make the final group portrait available to buy as a poster—with profits going to charity, of course, but we’ll look into that option once we get that far. (Wouldn’t a poster be rad though? Omg.)

Let’s make the portraits due June 25, 2016. That should give you plenty of time.

Have fun! ❤
