HELLO! I WRI... I... I MAKE...

BYE BYE


WHAT IS COHOST DRAWS*?

It's a friendly art jam thing I want to organize every few months, as long as there’s interest!

We all follow a shared theme, and each person that wants to participate should send in one (1) piece of art along with a short explanation of how it fits the prompt! That way, we’ll end so we end up with a nice collab at the end! People of all skill levels are welcome :eggbug-uwu:

The theme for this very special first edition is “LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT” – let’s see things you cherish that took some time to get around to! Maybe it was brussel sprouts, or a new Gorillaz album, maybe it was playing Monopoly against your grand-father, maybe it was a video game you dropped a few hours in! Maybe even... something else!

No matter how literal or abstract, if you have a story like that, I want to hear it and see it!


HOW CAN I SEND MY ENTRY IN?

You can also send art and prompt to bassartsubmission@outlook.com. If you go that route, please include your cohost username in your email so I can properly credit you!

You could also send it as a cohost Ask on this very account instead! Just make sure both art and description are included -- if I don't have your email and you don't have asks on your account, there is precious little way for me to respond. :eggbug-wink:

WHAT WILL THIS LOOK LIKE WHEN FINISHED?

This is my first time running something like this on Cohost, but you can see an example of when I ran something similar on the gaming website Destructoid right HERE.

Fair warning, you’ll want to have an adblocker before clicking on the link above!

In short: It'll be one long chost with links to the profiles of the different artists, followed by their art and descriptions, all in a random order!

(thanks again @DrunkenNixonStyle for letting me use this as an example 😘)

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

The deadline is August 4, and people of all drawing skills are invited. It's not a competition!

Maximum one drawing/story per person. Though there’s no character limit, I might reach out to you so we can trim down the explanation if it ends up taking a lot of space!

The art and the rights to your art remain yours, of course! If you eventually wish to remove your submission for whatever reason, feel free to reach out via ask or email as well and I’ll oblige.

The chost will go up on August 5, but the fun does not stop there! If you want to share your own art and stories after the post goes up, we could reuse tags for visibility! I suggest using “#cohost draws” (general) and “#chdraws01” (specific to this one).

I aim to keep the base chost Safe for Work! My goal isn’t to reject entries though, if you have an idea that feels borderline, feel free to reach out to me! :eggbug:

Since my goal is to to give fair credit to everyone involved, and considering this is a self-imposed challenge with no prize, please don’t commission someone else to make the art for you! Again, all skill levels are welcome!


And that’s all I’ve got I think!! If you’re interested in participating, I’d love it if you could let me know in the comments! ^^

*If ASSC would prefer me to call this something else, let me know!!
