Upcoming Stuff For The Site, Painting contest, and webzine?

Golden Ankh II

I'll be running the next painting contest starting soon.

It will focus on the newer models, and be a bit more open ended.

Webzine


Also, I'd like to see what interest there is in running a webzine and who would be willing to work on it. I'm not looking to run it myself, but I can help with advice and such with my experience with the Word of Hashut.

So I would need the following positions at minimum:

Webzine Pharoah
Basically someone to oversee the webzine. Plan it out, get people to get their submissions in, get it to the editors, etc, etc. This would require someone who is willing to dedicate themselves quite a bit to this endeavor.

Editor:
At least one, three at most. This would be someone who could proof read it with the wraith of an English professor, and make it look professional.

Here, I'm more than willing to be the main editor. I've done a lot of editing for the Word of Hashut, and when I set my mind to it I can be rather good at that task. I blame having an English teacher for a mother.

Artists:
The more the better. I'd rather have too much art, than none at all. I might be able to get some support from CDO as there are a couple people who just love art for the sake of art. I'd still prefer to draw from our community, as it is our project.

Writers:
We need people are willing to write a regular article or two. For example someone to write a tactical piece, another a painting guide, etc, etc. Some folks might write randomly, perhaps on a topic they can cover well: IE I might write an article on Chaos Dwarfs and fighting them.


Story tellers: I think it'd be nice to fit a tiny bit of stories into this, purely for a fun feeling of fluff. These could be ancient Nehekaran legends, the lsot history of Nehekara, to the present Warhammer world. Perfect outlet for creativity.


Irregular writers: Battle reports, for example. Reviews of other armies. Any number of things can fit in here.

I'd be interested in:

Writing
Story Telling
Editing

All this would be pending more details on the expectations.

I am a published writer, have Photoshop and web skills, and love Tomb Kings.

Plus, my real life job is in communications. I am responsible for creating communications plans, handling all aspects of publishing a corporate e-newsletter, and working with diverse people in video script writing, production and editing.

I'd be willing to edit. I majored in journalism though it is not my current career path.

I'm willing to help out, I just don't think I have the skills to pull it off.

I could write the occasional story or batrep, though.

I can help out with battle reports if you're interested.

I'll help with whatever is needed, although I can't draw for crap. If they invent a way to get pictures in your head automatically to a piece of paper then I'll be an artist :3

I'll offer up my help too. I'm a conference coordinator, so i'm good at hassling people to meet deadlines etc

If I may be so bold I'd love to offer my services as a cartoonist! If you want to be more of my work (since the only example of my style is my avatar), here is my website: http://maddoodles.herobo.com/

I can sketch like hell, am familiar with all current armies, and can paint to a half-decent standard. I can tell stories as well, but I can't make up names. I need foundations, but with that, I can work miracles with words.

Any word on the status of this?

I draw a little... Could help with the odd pic here and there, if required... Though I never drawn Warhammer Fantasy stuff, I think I could.

Are the painting contest and web magazine on hold until hes back?

If you could squeak something in, you may be able to enter this one?

You should put necrotects instead of artists ....just thought id add my 2 souls as input

Editor: making tutorials is my thing! send a pm if interested

Since Swiss is gone, I'll lock this to prevent further reply here. If he ever come back he could re-open this if he wish.

Sorry for everyone that was interested in participating.

He was active on the 4th Feb - doesn't mean this is going to happen, up to him really.

Will leave the topic closed until further notice.
