Do I own my work created for the zine?
Do I own my work created for the zine?
Zines are a collection of various images, texts, and messages within a booklet format. Zines are made from interest, passion, and are often self-published by the writer, artist, and or creator extending to group collaborations.
How were merch artists and merch types decided?
How were merch artists and merch types decided?
The mod takes a look at everybody's portfolios and chooses which art style best suits specific merch. The merch types are planned ahead of time by the main mod. CosmicCowZine's merch assignments are not strict to just artists; many times, the mod will select a graphic designer to do merch because their strength/style fits the specific needs of the merch in mind. A main reason why there is no merch application, is that many are apprehensive to apply for a merch position if they have no prior experience (even though their style is perfect for specific merch).
Can I get more than one Illustration spot?
Can I get more than one Illustration spot?
The zine is planned to fit exactly the amount of contributors in the project. If you were assigned to do a specific amount of pages, you can't add another spot. One spot per artist.
Is it okay if I share more of my zine work-in-progress on my Patreon?
Is it okay if I share more of my zine work-in-progress on my Patreon?
Besides CosmicCowZine's first promo requirement of sharing a snippet of your work, we ask that contributors hold off on revealing more of the behind the scenes process until after preorder sales are complete. We want it to be a surprise for the most part. After preorder ends and leftover begins, feel free to share the entire zine piece and behind the scenes work.

I just converted my piece to CMYK and everything became desaturated. Is it normal?
I just converted my piece to CMYK and everything became desaturated. Is it normal?
Many of the manufacturers require CMYK format. And yes, it does get really desaturated compared to RGB. Just play around with the saturation tool and try your best to match it to the image you've envisioned.
Should I or Can I sign my art in the zine?
Should I or Can I sign my art in the zine?
We ask that you don't sign your art because we have a whole page on our zines dedicated to page credits. However, if an artist feels strongly about their preference to put their signature on their page, then the signature needs to be really small and at half the opacity.
