STRANGE WATERS - Hosted by Haunted Cosmos Press

Submission Period: March 15 - April 15

(Application Link - please read our guidelines and read your application before submitting)

We are seeking comics by queer creators about queer characters involving fantastical elements and water - so bring us your pirates, water mages, sirens, selkies, lagoon creatures, subnautical adventures and more!

COMPENSATION Artists and artist/writer teams will receive $50/page payment with opportunities for increased pay with Kickstarter stretch goals and 10 contributor copies of the book.

GUIDELINES

B&W or Grayscale

Up to 12 pages

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

Information about you (background, artistic resume)

Concept sketches of your characters/story elements

Titles (working titles are fine) and story synopsis with estimated page count. Please spoil the entire story with your synopsis - no cliffhangers, please.

WHAT WE WANT

Completely original stories

Stories with water featured as an important element

Fantasy! We want magic, mythical creatures, and other strange elements. Your stories can be about pirates, merpeople, lagoon creatures, water nymphs, or subnautical exploration. As long as there’s a fantastical element to it, we want it!

Queer characters!

WHAT WE DON’T WANT

No prose or single illustrations. We want comics!

Stories that are tied to an existing property. Example: You have a webcomic and want to include a story featuring characters and elements from your webcomic in Strange Waters. We want you to come up with completely new characters and stories for this anthology.

No porn or explicit gore. Tasteful nudity and cuts and bruises are fine.

No slurs, racism, queerphobia, or ableism - even if the discrimination is being portrayed as wrong.

FAQ

How do you define “queer”?

We define “queer" as anyone who falls on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. This includes, but isn’t limited to, lesbian, gay, bi/pansexual, trans/nonbinary, intersex, and asexual. We are not here to judge your queerness and don’t do fact checking to make sure you’re queer - as long as you feel that you fall in the spectrum, we want you and your stories!

Can I work with another person as my writer/artist?

You may work as a two-person team - however, keep in mind that payment is page-based and not by person. HCP will not be doing any pairing of writers and artists, so if you require one or the other, you must find someone to work with on your own.

How many pitches can I submit?

You may submit up to 2 pitches.

Do I have to be American to submit?

No, but we do require all stories with dialogue to be in English.

Do I have to be 18 to submit?

You must be 18 at the time of submitting.

What is the age demographic for Strange Waters?

Young adult, meaning swearing and tasteful nudity are allowed.

What are my rights to my comic?

HCP prides itself in being a publisher of creator-owned work. The only right we have is exclusive first publication rights for one calendar year and general publication rights in perpetuity. After the initial year ends, you are more than welcome to share your comic publicly or sell it.

If you have any questions, please feel free to relay them to our askbox or to hauntedcosmospress@gmail.com.

I hope this don't sound rude, but how you can draw in anime style and still make expression so well? I just watched the Congratulation Animatic and Angelica's faces are sooooo good. I only started do make good expression when i switched from anime to a more cartoon-ish art style. what's your secret? 👀

That’t actually a question i get hella often… and i actually made a long time ago a small tutorial…  well i think it doesnt hurt to put it in….

I am pretty sure its not that helpful…and i will definitly try to dig deeper in it next time… (god i suck at tutorials XD i hope u forgive me XD)

SenshiStock Sketch - A simple app that shuffles different pose references by senshistock for gesture drawing with a timer.

3D Models 

Pose Maniacs - Models of human body parts that can be rotated to different angles, mainly hands.

Anatomy360 - Though still in development you can try the demo for this new realistic 3D human model app with full colour control over the lighting and background.  

ArtPose - This is an app for IOS devices only, however it is a very useful anatomy reference with the ability to move the limbs of the 3D model and changeable lighting and angles.

Handy - Another app for mobile devices with rotatable models of hands, skulls, and heads with custom lighting that can be changed colour. 

Stock Images

SenshiStock - A popular choice for stock images, with a library of thousands of pose and anatomy references.
