Hasn't been decided from what I know. I'm guessing it will be pretty similar though.

[Kinsei01]

[ashman112]

[ChazzieBoi]

I'm not that confident in winning this year, because my drawings cant compare to others, but I'll give it a try. Could someone please explain how to get the dimensions listed in the rules?

What program are you using?
Here's a screencap in photoshop

[ReNaeNae]

Also... you can submit as many pics as you want, but only one can win.

[AronKong]

since I've been needing to practice I think I'll do the inking and colors in Illustrator

[ReNaeNae]

In case anyone is interested in seeing what was done last year:
2009 Art thread
2009 Talk thread

Page 2 of the talk thread has screen caps of PS and Flash document properties ...and answers some size/res questions. Hopefully that will help.

...talk thread is for talking!! art thread is for art!!! ...and that pic is the center (poster) image that's in the 2009 calendar. There will be a new, completely different piece of staff art in the 2010 calendar.

.....

[Fatchaos]

Hmmmm... this sounds intriguing... too bad I don't have as much time as I used to, but... MAYBE I will try... deadline, however... : OUCH.

Might not make it.
Depends a lot whether I can complete my other projects first.

[Aigis]

I got informed by some that I got gypped out of the calendar last year.

I'm not sure I agree, but I'll enter this year as well. at some point. It gives me an incentive to draw, I guess.

[Catoblepas]

How safe for work does it have to be?

Like, can I has dead babby?

[Jimp]

Sounds and looks awesome, Im gonna give this a go I think :)

Ill be buying a calender either way!

[Rhunyc]

Ohhhhhhhhhh I'll try one :3

[Nekow]

a little challenge, I like that...
too bad that the image size has to be so gargantuan

[LiLg]

Does the 10.75 image get cropped at all? Should we leave room for a bleed area?

Thanks.

lol, knowing you, I'm afraid to say yes. Last years calendar had ONE 'bad' thing in it... sucho's penicorn on the back cover. Yet just two days ago, when I asked my boss for info on another project, he was like "Oh, is it another thing like your calendar? Bad stuff?" ...so, if it's worse then a penicorn, odds are it won't make it in... but it might make the back cover! lol ;)

We haven't finalized a layout for this year ...might end up being the same as 09's ...but for that we had a 'frame' that sat over the images.. and that cut in like a 1/32" on all sides, so no actual bleed needed, just don't run important stuff right to the edges.
