tanabata

my wip is the crappiest thing ever lol.
anyways, I'm planning on doing a picture on my favorite holiday in Japan, tanabata :) the colors of the bg is slightly faded off or else the sketch would be hard to make out.
crits welcome.

Okonomiyaki

Hello there.
I've finally come up with a WIP, so here it is. The guy's pose is bothering me, damn foreshortening...
Crits welcome

Idea

This was just an idea that I carried out a little further than I wanted to; I really wanted to paint an onsen, but I'm having second thoughts now. This is a father bathing his son before going in the onsen? It needs a background but I will probably try out a bunch more compositions and ideas before settling. What are your thoughts on this one?

Shrine concept/thumbnail

Hey everyone! Here's my concept thumbnail. Not sure if I want to do this as a landscape 8.5x11 or a two page. Thoughts?

image format

Thank you for everyone who helped spread the word! We are really grateful.
Due to limited space, not everyone who submit a picture will be included, but we want you to know that we really appreciate your efforts to support the cause.



As an update: when you have completed your picture, please send it to japanartproject@gmail.com in the specified size and in PNG format!
this has been updated in the About section as well.


Thank you!

public submissions

Hey guys, please help spread the word that we are now open to public submissions.

We need just a little more people! and I know that not that many people read my journal at dA.... and the artists I know are limited. So please! spread the word. We'll be picking out the good ones from what we get.

IMPORTANT!

We have changed the dimensions to 8.25" x 10.75" to adapt to Ka-Blam sizes, which we found to be the best place to print at. Lulu was another choice, but they were a bit pricey. To people who are not procrastinators and have started their pictures already....we sincerely apologize!

Still a bit undecided about where to print, so we'll be keeping sizes at US Letter(most places seem to have that size to print at). Sorry for all this changing around.

ALSO: If you have any idea or concept in mind ready for your picture, please email us asap. This is not the WIP. This is so that in case there are repeated ideas, we can make adjustments early on! And let us know if you're planning on doing a 2 page spread!
