IT'S TIME FOR YOUR "BAD" ART TO SHINE IN THIS JAM... 

This jam was encouraged by @BarcasArt and I thought... WHY THE HELL NOT!

If you watched my YouTube series, How to Draw Shitty Art for Your Solo TTRPGs, my whole point of these videos is to encourage people to TRY to draw (and not lean on AI-generated art...please don't lol). So, this jam is to encourage you to draw some "shitty" art from your adventures and let it SHINE in a 1-page zine/brochure/whatever! The zine that started it all :)

Want to learn how to make a zine?! Watch this tutorial and jam overview:


Need some inspo or encouragement?! Watch my series:


GUIDELINES TO MAKING YOUR ZINE

- ART HAS TO BE HAND-DRAWN (or if you like drawing on an electronic art pad, that's fine too… if you want to use other mediums, like painting or sculpting, totally fine as long as you can scan it or just make it digital-friendly)

- TEXT CAN BE HAND-WRITTEN (please make sure it's legible) OR TYPED OUT

- 1-PAGE ONLY (front + back is acceptable)

- HAS TO BE MADE FOR THIS JAM SPECIFICALLY (it cannot be an "existing" project)

- PLEASE MAKE IT FREE TO DOWNLOAD (or give people the option to tip)

- IT CAN BE FOR ANY GENRE (cyberpunk, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.)

- IF IT'S NSFW +18, MAKE IT CLEAR AND LABEL IT AS SUCH

- YOU CAN DO MULTIPLE ENTRIES (as long as you have at least 1 that is dedicated just to this jam)

- NO AI ART PLEASE!!!!


WHAT CAN BE INCLUDED IN YOUR ZINE

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS:

It can be a mini TTRPG game or supplement that features your art. It can be simply an art zine with a short description describing your piece and what inspired you to make this. It can even be a mini comic strip of your TTRPG adventure. It can be a small zine with tips/tricks or advice for people who want to learn how to draw. It can be a zine of dungeon maps, NPCs, etc. Use your imagination and include your art, especially pieces that you're not "proud of"!

SHARE PROGRESS PICS! I think it’s so fun to see the process and the behind-the-scenes of how it all started. No pressure! 

I just want to get the community together to MAKE ART FOR THE SAKE OF IT!!! HAVE FUN!
