Back when the SSR Neo Zine was going, I made this piece for it. Sad to see it wasn't able to be completed.

Roll a DICE to the RESCUE!

My (first) double-page contribution to @turbofox-zines 's TF Fanzine/Art Anthology: the RBA Zine, in all its glory!

Well, here is upscaled thrice so, I suggest everyone check the full monster of a piece by [Downloading it here] the whole booklet because there's so much precious art and writing (we even got a special guest story!) that deserves the support.

This illustration is extra special to me because it marks my first time working on a double page instead of my usual one-page piece. It's the first time I let my Graphic Designer knowledge take credit for the lettering, text, and graphic components to make this a full-functional board game (it works beautifully printed in an A3!).

The admins even let me contribute with the little character graphics to decorate the zine pages, something I was delighted about ♥

Now, as always I'll share my art process under the cut because a lot was going out during the journey to make this piece look as professional as you see it now. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did, thank you to all for the support ✨

I confess: I never EVER before illustrated a whole map in this art style x'D So I was glad this show already had shots from different perspectives of its setting. Still, not every place was visually consistent so this map is more of an approximation than a loyal representation of the canon.

I think the hardest part is to make something that looks good both with an without the board game path.

... I confess too that even if I'm obsessed to make things follow a certain logic, I struggled a ton with the perspective 💥

YEAH, IT MADE ME USE BLOCKS TO UNDERSTAND IT AAA

It was worth the effort: look at how it works printed! And this is without an illustration-suited paper.

OH! Before I go: this too marks my first time drawing the vehicle mode for TFs... THE TINNIEST VEHICLES EVER, you can download their respective files on the Merch Part of the Zine too!

They are so bite-sized, luff them!!!

A fanart memory album project!

Okay here's the big reveal of the thing I've been working on last month (and going to keep working this month as well, since I have more ideas).

Long story short, last month I saw that one of my earliest paintings of Raul is dated 2014 (wow), so I thought, how about I make some sort of an artbook/fanzine to feature my paintings from different years, and maybe make another one for all the paintings of Freddie and maybe another for my original art. Soon the idea of just an artbook started to look a bit boring to me, so I switched to the idea of it maybe looking like some sort of a scrapbook. which also felt not enough for me. And eventually I decided that I wanted something a bit more personal, more tangible, more tactile? I wanted to make it a collection of prints that you can both keep in a neat "book", but also be able to take one or a few prints out and maybe hang in on your wall, or keep as a card on your table, or use it as a bookmark, or just give it as a gift? And I wanted another distinctive thing to be, that all the prints have a date on them, marking when they were originally painted. Drumroll, it's a photoalbum now! With prints of different sizes, some are folded like gift cards, some look like polaroid photos. There're also a few simple stickers and an A3 poster of Emcee ;3

There's gonna be a video, so you can see all pages. And I'll plan to make the same sort of album for Freddie's paintings, and I've already chosen a number of personal, non fanart paintings. For now those are the only theme that have enough material to fill an album with.

Right now I finished the first Raul one and already printed the second album, so it's waiting to be assembled. Please let me know, if you want one (you can message me on Boosty, Instagram, Tumblr, or just email me tommie.glenn@yandex.ru).

So the album consists of: 1 poster (size A3,folded), 8 stickers (5x5 cm) 14 prints (size A6) 4 prints (10x10 cm) 8 prints (8,8x10,5 cm) 12 prints (6x10 cm) 4 prints (4x10 cm) 1 vertical card (size A6) 2 horizontal cards (size A6)

The price is $50 (which already includes international shipping). I'll make a Hipolink payment via PayPal (here's a link for that https://hipolink.me/tommieglenn/products/raul-esparza-fanart-memory-album ), or if you're okay with paying with card, then you can use my Boosty's tip jar (here https://boosty.to/tommieglenn ), but please write me beforehand, so that I can let you know if I have an album available (and can send it the next day), or you'd have to wait a few days for me to make it for you.

More In-Depth Guidelines and Format Examples Under the Cut

This information is the same as the information found on each form.

THEME OPTION

Does your piece describe past memories, present events, or future hopes and fears? You do not need to strictly adhere to this. These themes are a way to thematically tie everyone's pieces together as well as provide an organization scheme to the zine. This zine is intended to be a scrapbook of memories, after all.

Past relates to things that have happened before the events of the game, memories you or the characters want to preserve or forget. Present relates to events of the game as well as things that happen around those events, the new life that the characters are going into, unexplored territories, and bonds forming and breaking. This is the here and now. Future relates to events that happen way ahead from now. Revolution, for example, or the failure to achieve it. Whatever you may think the characters will be going through in the months and years to come after the main events of the game. Whatever hopes or dreams or fears they may have.

ZINE FORMATTING

The format on the zine will appear as follows:

ARTISTS

SUBMISSION TITLE [submission image] YOUR NAME (your username)

OR

SUBMISSION TITLE YOUR NAME (your username) [submission image]

Content warnings for art will appear at the beginning of the zine (subject to change).

[archeolatry]

Go take a look at this beautiful trove of old SparkSound magazines someone is selling on eBay. For the price they might as well be made out of gold, but the seller's been nice enough to take big, largely readable photos of so many of the issues. Is there a similar digital hoard of scanned versions? I'd love to see more! (I've seen photo pages in full but only snippets of the rest.) The absolute like... raw, sloppy, fanzine chaos of these as as official publications from a major label band is blowing my fucking mind, even if it is just for the fan club. It's literally their mom cutting and pasting and cramming mentions from both Melody Maker and TV Guide onto an A3 sheet of paper, layouts be damned. The apostrophe on her typewriter is broken for a couple issues but she carries on with an asterisk. She's also around 60 by this point and banging this out to an audience of hundreds or thousands like it's a local Kiwanis club newsletter. But she's doing it with gusto, by gum, and it's punk as hell. The best thing about it is that the lack of style is made up for by the absolute top-tier access to the band, and her being surprisingly on top of pertinent details.

For those of you who weren't in a fandom before the internet, those behind-the-scenes photos were like your favorite band's proof of life. There was no Instagram or Twitter, or anything that proved they existed between national TV appearances and touring in your area (besides those mentions in Melody Maker anyway). If you were lucky, your fandom had the capacity to trade videotapes and people in Scranton could see local TV appearances in Los Angeles and vice-versa. If you were really lucky they weren't all copies of copies with potato quality sound and video. Likewise, if you wanted the 12" extended European dance mix of a song with a B-side unavailable in the US, you had to either special order it somewhere and pay through the nose, hope it was in the imports section of a record store (and still pay through the nose), or you had to trade cassettes or burned CDs and hope the other person didn't flake on you. The fact that she's saying "Don't go running to the import section yet, the single will be out on ____ record label on this date with this track listing" is WAY more info than we usually got from our official sources. All "Mary Martin" needed to do for exclusive content was take pictures of her sons on vacation. On one page she's absolutely dunking on Russell them in wry cut-and-paste captions and on another she is the perfect hype man, telling people shows at The Greek Theater are gonna sell out so get your tickets early (but hold your horses on travelling- they're working on Japanese dates for September so you may not need to fly to the US). The personal thank-yous! The CARE! *slams fist on table* If any other band had their mom as the head of their fan club it'd be the most contrived shit in the universe, a complete lie, or both. I fucking love these guys.

Personal Splatbands Merch Tour (Part.2)

Finally my Disspair keychain came ^~^) I wanted to update on my merch since the last time cus I got a few things out, besides the obvious merch I get from fanzines I also try to make my own

This is my disspair locker, with obviously a tiny bass an a shirt with skeleton pattern and a disspair pin from a zine (its getting a bit rusty) I wanna start a warabi bjd doll with the help of a mutual (the one that got the mizole keychain). I've seen other dolls like the Noiji or one stuffed toy of Taichi, that I wanted to make something similar perhaps not that good but at least something honest and personal, we dont get many true solatbands fans out here

I also got other posters around my room like this one from Redbubble that got taken downa few years ago, it's been with me for 4 years,,, Along side Wet floor and HTE posters of the same size. The thing next to it its my whiteboard, that doodle also has 2 years I never erased it xd

One of the projects we also made on class last year was about a fine art paper bundle with different types of paper, my prints wasn't splatband related but I got the chance to put extra prints on the spare paper of the A3, I believe this one is rhe Hahnemühle photo glossy paper, at that time I ended a piece of Drums vs Keyboard vs Guitar splatfest with HTE

As for the next up coming project I was invited to the Splatband zine and I'll try my best on it I'm quite excited it's gonna be my first time working on a phisical zine AND as a spot artist (double win???)
