Are we allowed to do both merch and card illustration at the same time or will we only be accepted for one position?
Hi there! Very sorry for the delayed response. We will only be accepting 2-3 merch artists, so the chances of being accepted for both are slim... But there is a chance that someone will be accepted for both, provided they are able to handle the workload. Thank you for your interest!
Hi! I was curious if the less plot relevant characters were also taken by guests? I noticed they were absent from the application forms so I just wanted to ask and confirm if those were already secured! Thank you.
Hello there! That does depend on what you mean by "less plot relevant characters", but the only characters who were taken by guests were the ones who were publicly announced. Other missing names you see may be taken by members of our mod team, or not included in the project. Thank you for your question!
If you're wondering which characters will be included in our project, you can see the complete list here on our carrd: https://p3reflect.carrd.co/#characters
Hi are pinch hitters being selected from the apps or will no one know if they are chosen until needed/the deadline (Dec. 15)
Pinch hitters will be selected from the applications, and may be contacted about possible openings before December 15th. Applicants who clear our review process, but aren't selected as contributors, will remain in consideration if they have indicated interest in being a pinch-hitter. In the event that a spot opens up for one of the applicant's selected characters, they'll receive a follow-up email with an offer to create for the available character. This may happen at any point between September 2nd and December 15th!
Excuse me if i want to apply to both page artist and merch artist im only able to put only one portafolio link?
I have two separated portfolios for art pieces and merch ><
You are welcome to provide a link to both! However, we ask that the total number of samples you share with us is no more than 15, so that the portfolio review process for our team can be as smooth as possible.
hi! i already submitted my app but i realized i left out some info, can i resubmit it?
Thank you for reaching out! If you only need to make a small adjustment or addition, you can email us at [email protected] with your name and the email address you used on the application to let us know what information is missing, and we will fill it in on our end.
Is original art being made for the non-character minor arcana (three of swords, etc.) or is the P3 style being used? If og art is a guest artist making them?
Our mod team will design the iconography for the minor arcana in an effort to create a cohesive feeling for the project. The numbered minor arcana cards will be formatted like the ones seen in-game (the symbols will repeat, similar to a playing card). We will also be sharing those designs with the team during the creation period so that participants have an opportunity to provide their thoughts.
Hi! If all versions of P3 are included, would this include P3WM and the manga or only the games? Just curious! Thank you :D
Regarding depictions and characterization, details from story events that have taken place before or during the timeframe of the Journey and the Answer is allowed (more specifically, anything that occurs in the story prior to April 2010). Any information from the stageplays and manga that falls under this category can be considered when creating your piece! You'll also be able to submit multiple pitches for your character as well, and the mods will work with you to make sure that your contribution still fits within the themes and scope of the project.
Hi Mods! Should I send my application again if I sent my portfolio before the repost? Or is my application already in your records? Thank you!
Your application is still accounted for, and the form links are the same ones from the previous post, so there is no need to reapply!
All the applications made before the repost are still being considered, right?
Yes, the form links are the same, so if you've already applied your application is still on file!
Around how many artists are you planning to accept onto the project?
Ideally, we'll have a total of around 50 contributing artists: 1 artist per character (47 characters total), and 3-5 merch artists. So if you are interested in contributing (and especially if you'd like to show your love for some of those less popular characters) be sure to fill out an application!
Will the Compendium have spot art/artist collabs?
Due to the scope of this project, there are currently no plans for spot artist collaborations for the Compendium. However, we are planning to create decorations and other embellishments for the pages, and will work with writers in this regard!
Hi, I'm filling out the artist form, and Akihiko is missing from the list.
Thank you for pointing this out! There are actually a few characters absent on both applications; by popular demand, we have contacted a handful of Guest Contributors who were requested during our interest check. Being that they are guests, we have allowed them to pick their characters prior to apps opening.
We understand how this may be disappointing for those who were interested in creating for a specific character. However, we hope that everyone will be surprised and excited for when we reveal those Guest Contributors in the coming weeks!
Do I select all the characters that i would love to create an illustration for? Or am i limited to only select one of the list?
Please select as many characters as you would be excited to create for! Just be sure to select characters you feel confident that you would be happy to receive as an assignment.
If Ryoji is claimed by a guest artist but Keisuke is still an option, does that mean there will be two cards for each arcana that has two characters or are they suppose to share a card?
Yes, some arcana such as Fortune will have two cards: one for each character listed. This also means that the full count on the deck will be larger than a standard tarot deck, bringing the total to a whopping 87!
If we apply for both a merch and card artist, would we be allowed to draw for both or will we be accepted as only one of those roles?
Thank you for being interested in joining! Artists will only be accepted for one role, so please keep this in mind as you fill out your application!
