Artist Call: It's Like I Can Touch You

Submitted by justin on Mon, 01/25/2010 - 21:06

We will be printing the comic in the 6.6x10.2" size. This means if you want to do a full bleed page (ie no borders) it has to be larger than those dimensions. I'll be getting out a link to a template you can use in photoshop to check the dimensions of your art in a few days. If you want to make a smaller image, go right ahead.

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL MUMBOJUMBO:
For the best 3D results, draw your foregrounds and backgrounds separately.
Remember to scan and save art at 300 DPI

That is: draw a complete background, and then draw a complete foreground - and we will combine them when we create the 3D plates to create a single image.
So for example, you draw a castle - as your background, then draw, a knight as your foreground. Send them to us in separate files - and make sure that they are correctly proportioned to each other.

On the new Cat Odes site, you find page sizing and other requirements, along with previews and an FAQ section.

Misery Loves Company Released

Submitted by justin on Mon, 01/18/2010 - 18:51
Much sooner than we anticipated, Misery Loves Company - the second book of GOTHOLOGY, is now available through Indy Planet (and Comics Monkey for retailers).

Join us as we descend into the depression caused by the original GOTHOLOGY, The Eternal Sad.

As far as more volumes of GOTHOLOGY, we don't know right now. We are planning on doing a zombie themed spin-off at some point this year, but as of this post, don't know when exactly that is. The good news is, we are now taking submissions year round.

Miserable Website

Submitted by justin on Fri, 01/15/2010 - 17:41

We have given the Misery Loves Company webpage a new update to match the overall GOTHOLOGY Comics site theme.  It now also has 6 comic previews, and links to the artist pages.

It can be seen here.

Also, the book should be dropping very soon now, so keep an eye out for it guys!

PS: To Artists in The Eternal Sad, we will be redoing that page as well to match misery, and to include artist links.
