Welcome to the 2025 Pride Collab! Let's create some art to celebrate our unique selves and our freedom of expression of orientation and gender identity. At the end of the submission period, I will combine everyone's art together into a collage. Last year's collab was a great success; let's make this year even better!


How to join:

  1. Draw a transparent image of a character or an object/symbol displaying celebration of LGBTQIA+ Pride/Alliance. Use a solid black outline for your artwork and do not include any additional outer outline or drop shadow, as I will be adding these myself to unify the collage visually.
  2. Scale your artwork to a width of 300 pixels. (Height can vary)
  3. Post your submission in this thread anytime from May 29 to June 27.


Optional: Upload your artwork to the art portal with the tag: pride-collab-2025

For your art portal upload you can post your works in full resolution, include alternative versions with a background, etc. You may share the link in this thread alongside the scaled transparent version.


Requirements:

  • Transparent background.
  • Full body of characters must be visible.
  • E to T rated.
  • Follow all NG art portal rules; no AI.


Pride Flags and Symbols:

https://www.hrc.org/resources/lgbtq-pride-flags

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_symbols


Allies:

Even if you are not LGBTQIA+ yourself, you are more than welcome to participate as an ally. The rainbow flag is recommended to show overall support. You also have the option to use the straight ally flag if you prefer, however "straight pride" flags will not be accepted.


Ideas/Examples:

  • Your OC waving a pride flag/banner, wearing clothing in pride colors, displaying pride symbols, etc.
  • Same-sex characters holding hands, embracing, etc.
  • A drawing of an object painted with pride colors or marked with pride symbols.
  • A decorative drawing of a pride symbol.
  • Also welcome are symbols of peace and unity such as peace signs, hearts, flowers, etc.
  • Using original characters is highly recommended to make your submission a personal expression of pride, but fan art will also be accepted.
  • Check out the 2024 pride collab for inspiration! https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/tydaze/ng-pride-month-2024-collab

IDk. it seems like 60% of what I can do these days is shaky highly-stylized self-portraits.

Just one thing I want to add to the instructions, please crop out any empty areas in your image before scaling the image to 300 pixels in width.

No it is fine, I can accept it as-is. It looks like it was drawn at smaller than 300px wide to begin with, so you shouldn't scale it up anyways or it will be blurry. I can include it and it will just be a bit smaller in the collage than art that has been made in a higher resolution. It's very cute art by the way, I love it.

So adding to this, if your art is smaller than 300px wide, then keep it at its original resolution.

Do I need to be scouted to take part?

Note: I don't condone Augusto Pinochet's or Ion Antonescu's actions. I like naming my villainous (or flat out evil) OCs after evil historical figures.

Can I participate even though I am not scouted in the art portal?

I will still draw Pride theme art, regardless of whether it is for this collab or not, because I want to.

I just thought I should ask, though!
