While this is a side-project for us at this point in time as we are focused on getting our flagship game launched as soon as possible, we'd like to let the amazing fanart community on Hive know about a few things!
While this offer is retrospective, i.e. we may go back and check out fanart submissions in the past and ask to purchase your pieces and/or ask to edit them slightly to fit our side-project, we figured it'd be best to let you know that we'll be on the lookout for our physical collection set! I wrote a post about this earlier this week so check that out if you want to know more info.
Basically, we'll be working on a physical and digital collection set for Holozing creatures and healers and a combination of them all. Thus we are welcoming you to participate and if you're interested align your future fanart to fit with the scope of this set. I.e. if you're going to make fanart either way, you may be interested in slightly changing the way you go about it so that the artwork could potentially be used and purchased by us to be used in our collection set!
The term collection set means that it won't be a playable trading card board-game, merely for collectors. There are however borders already available that you could align your artwork towards. Here's a couple examples of how the cards might look like:
We'll be working with a lot of different frames for the collection cards, above you can see the "diamond" version of the "full art" cards and on the right the "water" version of the creature cards which will come with our rarity odds for each creature.
There'll be borders in all 4 starter types of the alpha design and additional borders in different types for craftable designs and beta designs as well. Here's a few more alpha ones for Electric and Fire type creatures:
What can you do to best prepare for this?
We will over time as we get closer to focusing on this aspect of our ecosystem reach out to you to work with you directly if we think you're a good fit. However you could prepare by working on different ideas and versions of creatures and healers and combinations you think could fit well in the collection set. This could be anything from creatures being out in the wild in their natural habitats based on their type, to doing various things like being with other creatures and doing various "animal-related activities" but also so far as artworks of them being midfight, etc. You can't really go wrong with being creative although of course keep things as PG13 as you can to be eligible for a potential inclusion in our set.
Other things to keep in mind are that the artwork style, creature and healer anatomies, shapes, sizes and details can't differ too much from the ones we have announced over time on the @holozing account. While I know that some of you enjoy going wild and creating your own versions of "life-like" Holozing creatures or "if this creature was a human-shaped healer" or simply different variations completely, this isn't something we'll be looking for for this set. You'd have to adjust the way you present them to fit in the project. However, this doesn't mean you'd have to change your style completely, finer details and the way you originally draw them can be fine as long as the original composure of the characters remains intact.
Keep in mind that plagiarism, AI help and other such tools that lower effort won't be valid.
Apart from purchasing your artworks we will also offer the artists signatures to be included in the collection set, this means that whether physical or digital, you're signature or preferred name (hive username or other) in text will be included in each print.
Collaborations between artists are also welcomed, you could also post about them and send beneficiaries out to all parties involved in a fair manner - please do not repost the same artwork from all involved accounts in unique posts, however.
If you're creating artwork solely aimed towards the collection set, please use the hashtag "collection" in the posts!
We may also offer royalties for digital card sales as those will be easy to calculate and distribute in the form of cryptocurrencies to the artists based on sales. More info on this later.
Either way, if you have questions, feel free to ask here in the comment section and if they are a bit more complex I'll ask the art direction team to chip in.

whoa 😍 here it is ~ I'll try my best 😆 but i won't put pressure on myself to not get burnt out hahah
😆 wanna do collab for the background? @jijisaurart kahit one time lang if you have time tho hahaha let's do 50/50 on the post reward ~ if it's okay hahah
@acidyo is it okay if we ask for some updated resources in the discord channel like the new creatures and including the boarders of the cards? To makes things easier for us artist with the references hehehe
Sure, will update the borders in the #resources channel as soon as I get a chance
thank you so much ! 😁
The borders look very cool and they feel like quality if they were a real card (which I like even for online cards). The community has made some awesome artwork and I'm sure they will fill these frames very creatively too :)
Very interesting!, cool bordered like Yu Gi Oh card😁☺
This is great news for holozing fan artists like myself.
That red and yellow border is gonna work really well with some of my old Firewolf x healer artworks. I'll try my best to keep my works similar to official ones. I think I have been doing that for a while now. I don't know, you guys let me know if you have time haha.
New suits, accessories, hairstyle is fine though, right?
Yeah those are all great!
And yes, once we start looking through older works to purchase to use we'll definitely get in touch with the artists to see if there's anything we'd wish to be adjusted slightly but a lot of the things people have created so far will fit well into our collection set.
Keep in mind there'll be a lot of different color borders and designs, these are some of the rarer ones in alpha design, they'll also come from alpha vials as empty cards + starter creatures in those cards.
That's good to know :)
One more thing. Are artworks limited to be created in rectangular canvases and not square canvases. I mean it's somewhat obvious with the dimensions of the frame there. I just wanted to confirm this.
Yeah it'll be in these dimensions for the cards, some times maybe we can fill out previous work we'd want added if it's not a lot of extra work and if it makes sense to, but naturally wide over high is not going to work for this.
I see. Thanks 👍
Shared to the IndieComicBooks subreddit I run. As I was reading through your post, it occured to me that you should launch a short comic Holozing comic book to go along with the cards. Don't be overly ambitious, cards are cool, but a comic book tells a story, that almost anyone can follow. This is my overt attempt to lobby, or at least plant the seed of an idea!

Hear, hear!
Thank you for the enthusiasm! !PIMP !PIZZA
Our plans in the distant future was to go the manga/webtoon route rather than comics, but I don't see why both couldn't be an option for different stories/perspectives.
This is such a wonderful idea, cute borders too
That sounds like great news.
I bet the artists would love to have their work displayed in the game.
I don't think these will be displayed in the game itself, but the digital cards will definitely be viewable on the website.
This is so cool! I've seen so many great pieces shared on here and it's definitely worth all the money to support our artists!
Good luck to all the participants, it will be such a delight to see what people will come up with. So many creative minds getting their creative caps on!
I wish I were an artist, but I don't have a single creative bone in my body...
Love seeing the new developments that happen when I was not looking!
One of thw special things for me having Holozing on the Hive network/blockchain is how closely connected the community is and how our artists are valued, included and rewarded.
Holo to all the fans and artists and team working to get this launched for the public!
It is times like this i wish i could make decent artwork
Still lets hope the talented artists of hive rise up to the challenge
The borders look really nice, I really want to see a green/emerald'ish card border, if there will be one. It's my favorite color.
There is the grass type alpha border already created!
did u like them? 😅
Oh, I somehow completely missed this reply.
Yeah they look fantastic! Definitely my favorite looking ones. I might just want to become a green border collector 😋
😉😁😎👌 I luv the girl has a cat on her head.. :P yea, we got so many talkented artists here on hive.
Wow this is wonderful
i hope some of my old art could work for the blue border
but i defnitely have some nice fan art that woul fit just fine in those frames
Very good options for artists to get more motivated, giving suggestions for the game is good.
Holozing is an aesthetic design community that I have always loved since I met them. I like these proposals since they integrate the community and encourage creativity.
Now I will put more effort and heart into making the designs that I have lovingly dedicated to you and that have always been well received, grateful to you for this window of opportunities.
Hola! deberias darle u n vistazo a mi perfil, he hecho piezas que te pueden interesar.
solia usar este estilo, pero al tener poco apoyo lo cambie.
Thank you so much for the great and hard work with the previous fanart information to convey the wonderful message about animal anatomy. Yes awesome sharing picture frame beautiful design with inform about this game, also great rare comment. Thank you so much for the art style and great information about animal anatomy. Above all, respect and love for your hard work in this post. Blessings and love to you always as a forest part of the community. A nice hug. Above all, I wish you happiness, prosperity, peace and good health to the great creator.
@acidyo
this is going to be amazing, i´ll be putting more work on my artwork.
😍This arts are blast
This means we are walking closer to the big dream of having Holozing as a handy game.
how do I get the vector forms of the frames, in case I wish to use them?
I love the fire border more, it brings out that spark and light, really tells alot about conquering, the team is doing a good job.
Nice
It high time I went through my collection
Ohh, that sounds awesome! 😄 Btw, what kinda adjustments are you talking about
Just so a certain artwork we pick fits with the theme and the original characters/creatures.
Great for both creators of art and gamers
Hello sir! Where can we find the border for each type?
I just shared them in the #resources channel in our discord!
Thank you!
You could take inspiration on steam borders on avatars, they have some cool ones
@maxwellmarcusart as a good artist you might be interested in this post
Están bien decorativos los Marcos, son muy bonitos
Excelente.

(1/10) @danzocal tipped @acidyo
nice borders art,its very pretty looks ,thanks
😅 I have a small doubt, I'm reading using a translator and I'm not sure if I understood this correctly.
Do we have to keep the drawing style of the original holozing art? Or do you mean that we don't modify the characters and try to keep them as original as possible?
I mean, art with our drawing style but without changing or modifying the existing characters, right?
🤔
Yes that's exactly right, the cards will still mention who the artist behind them is, so keeping the style as it is is fine, just don't change the way creatures look - just draw them in your style as you have been.
I understand, it's a very cool idea.
Yoooo this is actually amazing... I have been away from making art for awhile because of technical problem and I have been itching to get back to drawing agian, but this just gives a new feel of excitement and motivation to create better artwork for holozing! I'll do my best and give it my all...😁
That's amaozing idea
God! I haven't seen this before, I'll try hard!
By the way, one question. Will the game be available for mobile?
Sounds great💯✅
Hola @acidyo me podrias facilitar en png los marcos de las cartas? tengo varias piezas que me gustaría enmarcar, pero no los tengo.
Hi, I'm new, love doing fan art. Is the idea we make a new art of something old or create our own new healer creature?
My attempt at something for the collection!
waw..this is really interesting.
