⚠️ Important notice
Because the goal of this zine is to include as many artists as possible, we're unable to provide free contributor copies or shipping. All participating artists will be able to purchase the zine at production cost (if you want to)! As it is pay-for-production for artists, we're keeping it in mind to not make the page count too high, and thus have a special format to include more artists. Please read it carefully!
Format (Yearbook Portrait):
★ The zine will feature 7 main yearbook sections, featuring every idol and staff member in the iDOLM@STER series. Please check the characters page for a list of every idol that will be featured.
★ In the yearbook section, every character will be drawn in headshot, just like a Yearbook Portrait!
★ All idols will be in any casual outfit of the artist's choice.
★ You can draw up to five Yearbook Portraits, depending on participant count and character availability.Format (Photos):
★ The zine will also feature Yearbook Photos, which is basically 'full' art with background and character interactions.
★ Single branch or cross-branch artwork are both OK.
★ You can draw in spread, full page, half page, or quarter page format, depending on space.
★ The Photos section will feature spreads with different themes, such as Daily Life, Concert, Halloween, etc.Format (Main Trios):
★ Finally, the zine will include one full-page illustration of each main trio.Production/shipping info:
★ The zine will be shipped from Georgia, USA.
★ The zine pricing will be determined later, influenced by the amount of interested buyers in the interest check.


Application process:
★ We are accepting all artists who apply, however interested artists will still be required to apply with a basic portfolio of previous drawings. The portfolio is just to assist with assigning characters.
★ We'll have two signup forms: one for Yearbook Portraits and one for Photos and Main Trios.
★ For Yearbook Portraits, you can write a ranked list of at least 10 characters you want to draw (any branch). After the signups are closed, we'll send your idol assignment(s). If there are any idols left over, you can choose to draw additional idol(s) if you want.
★ For Photos, you can write at least three brief ideas for what you want to draw.
★ And for Main Trio Illustrations, you can select which trios you want to draw.
★ If you’re accepted, we’ll try to match you up to which unit/character you like, but there's no guarantee you will get the unit you chose.
★ Please don't apply if you are a lolicon/shotacon. If you’re found to partake in lolisho content, your application will be disqualified.Portfolio guidelines:
★ In the form, you may link a social media, Google Drive folder, website, etc. that showcases your past artwork.
★ Backgrounds aren't required if you're signing up to draw a Yearbook Portrait.Content guidelines:
★ SFW only.
★ No ships or alternate universes ('alternate universe' settings from the games are OK).
★ You can draw any canon outfits you like in any setting.
