F A Q
What exactly is the project about and what are you looking for?
The GUIDO artbook is a coffee table artbook of Mista pinup pieces. We are looking for artists capable of producing stunning solo pieces that showcase Guido Mista's raw sensual energy.
Will there be guest artists?
Yes. We will be reaching out to our chosen guests within the next few days.
Will there be ships involved?
No, not this time. This project is focusing exclusively on Mista.
Will there be fics or just art?
As this project is set to be a book of pinup pieces, unfortunately there will be no fanfiction.
Can I contribute works as part of an AU?
No, we are keeping our focus entirely on canon compliant Mista. By this we don't mean that he has to be in his usual outfit, you're free to be creative with his look, but it does need to be 21st Century human dude Guido Mista.
Is the NSFW themes only sexual or are heavy gore and bloodshed okay?
The NSFW booklet is focused in sexual themes, we are leaning away from 'heavy gore' but canon typical blood is alright in both main artbook and the NSFW add-on merch booklet.
How do we apply to the project?
A Google Form application will be coming within the next few days. You will need digital examples of your artwork to submit and a general portfolio (hi-res scans of traditional art counts). This could be a website, carrd, Twitter moment, Google Drive, etc.
Will artists be able to work on both the SFW portion and the NSFW portion or is there a cap to only do one?
We are open to some contributors producing a piece for both areas of the project!
Is this for profit or charity?
This is a for-profit only project.
Is there an age restriction for applicants?
Yes, you must be 18 or older to apply.
Where do you stand on shipping?
All four of our mods are strictly anti-harrassment, we believe in allowing other people to ship what they want and have no interest in working with people who support harrassment over fiction.
MOD TEAM
Prince
I'm a 27 year old writer and illustrator from the UK. This is the third project I have modded for and one of several I have contributed to. My favourite thing in the world is bringing happiness to people through the works I create.
I wanted to create a book showcasing exactly how much we all love Guido Mista, and I'm grateful that so many people are excited about bringing this vision to life.
Ébórá
I am a passionate artist from Brazil that plays Historian as a hobby, or maybe the other way round. I discovered JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken reading 90's manga collection magazines at my middle school's library while skipping Physical Education classes in 2009 and it's been a permanent interest since then.
As someone that experienced fandoms for so many years, it's always a joy to be part of fan projects like this, that celebrate the shared love for our beloved characters, and it couldn't be different with an artbook about Mister Mista! Let's go, G U I D O!
Vodolei
I am a 21 year old hobby writer and uni student who has been stuck in JoJo brainrot! I adore anything and everything that's related to AUs and world building, and have a great passion for poetic devices and themes!
I am a part 5 and 7 lover, and Mista was one of my first ever JoJo loves who pulled me into the fandom and inspired me to create for it!
It's a pleasure to work on this project to celebrate the beauty and charm of our favourite gunslinger in G U I D O the artbook!
Lex
I am a 20 year old fan writer from the United States who adores part 5! I am honored to be a part of this project, and cannot wait to see so many talented people come together to create an art book for our favorite handsome gunman!
R E Q U I R E M E N T S
When applying to G U I D O you will need:
TO BE 18 OR OLDER
To not support harrassment over fiction
A digital showcase of your artwork
This could be:
-A website
-A carrd
-A twitter moment
-A Google Drive (MUST be unlocked. Please double check access before applying, as we won’t request access and your application may be overlooked)
-Any online portfolio will do!
Your submitted pieces must include at least ONE piece of Guido Mista
TIP: As we are a canon compliant project, try to include examples of canon (regular human guy) Mista, as opposed to exclusively AU works.
Your submitted pieces must also be of a completed standard
Sketches will not be accepted for the artbook application due to the final project requiring complete artwork.
You must also include a piece with a background
This doesn’t necessarily mean scenery, we will also accept bold, dynamic and abstract backgrounds. Anything that provides visual interest and avoids solid white backgrounds will be accepted as a background example.
Traditional art can be submitted but it must be a high resolution scan, not a photograph
