Info
TRANS* is a digital anthology aiming to spotlight original transgender characters and their unique visual aesthetics. The project will involve an application process and will feature a total of 15 artists. Creators may showcase their art on single pages or multiple spreads and will also have space to expand on their piece or character within the anthology should they choose to.
While the subject is relatively open, if you intend on applying, make sure that you have read the guidelines on the submissions page. Should there be any further questions please reach out!
Disclaimer
This project is experimental and aims to figure out whether people are interested in a digital trans-centric oc anthology, as well as determine if hosting necessary functionalities myself is viable. Please understand that I am unable to guarantee any compensation for this anthology at this time.
Profits from digital sales will go to cover operational costs that I initially paid for. These are the costs of the domain itself, as well as any web- and file-hosting that’s needed to keep the site operational for two years. These costs should work out to be 50-100€, depending on the amount of traffic the site receives. Any profits that total less than 300€ will be donated to a local LGBTQ+ youth centre. Should the profits exceed 300€, compensation will be paid to the artists (even split). Finances will be transparent to contributors.
Contributors will receive a free digital copy of the anthology.
