FAQ
GENERALWhat is De Nuit?- De Nuit is a project of fanzine publishing, gathering artists from different backgrounds.

The zines are focused (for now) exclusively on fanarts!Who is behind De Nuit?- De Nuit is created and handled by Noc!How often are zines organized?- Since I’m alone to handle De Nuit, I’m planning to go with one per year for the moment.Is it possible to apply as an artist on the zines?- Absolutely! Applications open roughly 2 months before the start of the drawing phase.Which kind of artists can apply?- Currently, the artists welcomed are illustrators, comic artists and writers. I’m planning to integrate very soon photographers, 3D artists, craftpersons and even more! If you are interested but are unsure about what you do being admissible, feel free to ask here!Is there any other requirements for artists applying?- Yes! I would prefer you to be at least 16. Also, an access to a PayPal or bank account so I can send you your share of the benefits!

I just need to have a good overview of your style. So any site that showcases your art would do! Social medias are totally acceptable as long I don’t have to go through a lot of non related art posts to get to your work.How many people are picked following the applications?- I can’t give a proper answer since it might varies, but during the first two issues we were almost 40.Do I need to have fanarts on my site/portfolio?- No! I will only chose people based on their work, not what their work is about.Is it important to have an art consistency in my site/portfolio?- Not really! Just show me what you want to do for the zine. Link what you would be comfortable doing for it!What are you looking for in someone’s portfolio to consider them?- Nothing in particular! Sorry, can’t really help here. It’s totally subjective as I will pick artists whose art touches me the most. There is no real criteria.Is it possible to update my application afterward?- No! Read the form very well, think about it, and only send it when you feel it’s ready.Can I apply even if I’m not a professional artist?- Please do!

No backgrounds are required if your drawing works well without it!Are black and white works allowed too?- Of course! Do what you enjoy doing! Unless there is a special color constraint.Is it okay if our entry illustrate an important plot point that might be a spoiler for people?- I will add all the TW needed for the artists pieces, so if that is necessary for you to illustrate what you want to say, go ahead!Are AU allowed as long as the character is recognizable?- Abolsutely!! I even encourage you to explore your own headcanons for the characters you pick. Might be in terms of gender, ethnicities, religion etc but also just plot related! Like their evolution, relationship to others etc. I enjoy seeing the point of view of artists on characters arcs!Is traditional art allowed?- Yes! As long as I have a good quality picture or scan of it.More questions to ask? Feel free to send an email
