June EMG-Zine

We've got a new issue of EMG-Zine up - with an introduction to Cyberfunded Creativity by Elizabeth Barrette, Melissa Acker walks us through the first stages of a painting of a sphinx, Marina examines the history of the Tarot, Giovanna investigates the life and art of Sidney Sime, Ursula tackles guilt and art, and Janet celebrates her 30th column of Healthy Green Artists! Our theme is 'Egypt,' and we've also got great art and fiction.

May EMG-Zine

The new issue of EMG-Zine is up! It addresses the hot topic of the Orphan Works act (now with 97% less hype), and advanced licensing tips for artists, introduces you to LARP, gives you suggestions for color reference cards, gives the history of steampunk, introduces the amazing work of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, gives green con prep suggestions, and we find out when NOT to panic.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to our contest winner, Liiga Smilshkalne, who chose a years membership to Fantastic Portfolios. Her piece Sunlight was the highest scoring piece!  

Feb issue of EMG-Zine

This month at EMG-Zine, Janet talks about stretching one's art supplies to make them last longer, Melissa demonstrates field sketching and its usefulness, Giovanna features the life and works of Sulamith Wulfing, Marina reviews the symbolism of the Rat, and Ursula Vernon talks about the rules of art - at least, the ones we make for ourselves. This month's features include a painting walkthrough and a continued tutorial on using The Gimp. We also have rat-themed poetry, fiction and comics!

Did you Submit your Portfolio?

If you're uploading work for the first time, the critics won't see it until you complete the final step of submitting your portfolio. There should be a button (once you have 4 or more pieces) that says 'Submit Your Portfolio.' If you don't see this, please contact me - I can reset your portfolio for you and make the button come back. It MAY tell you your portfolio has failed when I reset a portfolio - if your member page tells you your portfolio failed, but your individual pieces haven't been judged, and you don't have any critiques to read, it is a dirty liar; don't believe it.

The critics are zooming through the queue - if your work has been submitted for more than a week and you haven't received your results, there's probably an error somewhere; please let me know so I can fix it!
