Happy Halloween everyone!

...but more importantly

HAPPY PICO CROSS 2024 OPEN CALL DAY!

Wait... what's Pico Cross???

Pico Cross is a nonogram-style puzzle where you have to make an image by filling in boxes in a grid and leaving others empty. When you complete a row or column, not only do you get closer to solving the image, but you also get some cool art in each filled-in box in every filled-in column/row! If you want to see what I'm talking about, you can check out the previous Pico Cross collabs here and here.

What's so special about this year?

This year, because the collab is planned to release around the holidays, the theme is holiday-related. That means that the artwork will be related to the holidays, and the general aesthetic (and did someone say "story"?) will match the theme as well. Oh, and did I mention that [REDACTED] [CLASSIFIED] and it will [SENSITIVE] [PERSONAL], plus @MrShmoods [BLOCKED] [CONTROVERSAL] for this year? It'll be fun!

Great! What can I do?

What we're looking for is within three specific fields:

• Animation. I'm looking for a small team to help with some animated segments for this year's collab, but FYI there aren't too many of these segments and each one isn't too long.
• Voice Acting. While there are extremely limited spots for this, we are in need of voice actors for specific characters. Feminine- and masculine-esque characters are available!
• Art. Pico Cross features a lot of art, from the artwork of different NG characters in filled boxes to the stills used as cutscenes to the pieces of UI needed. There's plenty of space for artists, and if the Treasure Hunt has taught me anything, I know there's plenty of talented artists here on NG!

If you wanna help out, pop a few of your works here in this thread (please put a few and not just one)! It's required that you must be scouted first before applying.

If you're accepted, the goal is to get all of the art and animations done by November 28.

DEADLINE TO APPLY: NOVEMBER 7 @ 11:59 PM EST

If you also have questions, feel free to ask them here!

I'm gonna be blocked AND controversial this year.

RESURRECTED

Hello! I’d like to participate as an artist for drawing some them ng characters! Here are some of my work!

I may not be the best artist OR voice actor but I love shoving my nose in Pico-related projects (I have a totally normal obsession over Cassandra)!

I have a few things I can draw in a more painted-esk style if interested (even if these are older examples)

KLOWN

POMNI

VICTORIA

CASSANDRA

Or something more strict and vibrant

CASSANDRA 2

CASSINO

KITTY

Again, very new to voice acting, but the one thing I have posted is for the VAC15 entry as I can sound quite "androgynous" to some tone-wise.

I'm quite new to this stuff and wanna get some things out there so yeah.

pick me pick me!!!!

I am avaliable as an Artist, there's my portfolio:

Sorry if exagerrated about my portfolio, but please, accept me.
