anyone can submit fan comics to o-r-b! just keep in mind the following do's, don't's and suggestions:

style:

• simple lineart over a white background with (preferably) no coloring is preferred for consistency
• ivory and mint's exact hex colors are #C2BF6B and #7EAF81. you do not have to use them, but make sure they're close at least! (except if the joke requires otherwise)
• remember, their eyes ARE two big white circles! they're not part of my usual artstyle!

layout:

• you can draw comics in any format you want! however vertical comics are preferred for consistency and less code tinkering on my end
• your comic can also be any length! at least 3 pannels is recommended for pacing, but you can make 2 or even 1 panel comics if the punchline warrants it
• unusual/alternate formats, experimental/interactive comics (like the picross one) and bending/ditching all of the above rules (including style) is allowed if you can pull it off nicely! (just keep in mind that i still need to be able to implement your submission on the website)

writing:

• you can make any punchline you want in your comic, except for the following:
• putting pedophillia and bigotrism in a good light
• attacks on individuals, groups of people or nations/cultures
• "cringe culture" humor and shaming anything deemed "cringe" by the internet
• implying that mint & ivory dislike each other or want to break up (unless they are explicitly joking about it)
• sexual humor, innuendo and sexual implications are ok to write, but nudity and explicit imagery are not allowed as this is a website for ages over 16 (you may post explicit O.R.B. art on your own platforms, so long as minors cant see it)
• it doesn't have to be excllusively comedy oriented. make them kiss and say gay things too, if you want

submitting:

• please submit through my discord dms (@caramel64). i might accept email submissions in the future!
• i'd prefer not being asked about when your comic is gonna be uploaded. all comics are subject to a queue, in which i sometimes switch up some places in order to make for better pacing. if i can confirm your comic will be uploaded soon, i'll tell you myself
• i may make suggestions to change the writing or structure so as to improve them or to make them fit o.r.b.'s humor style better. you don't have to take them, and i will make sure to only suggest them if i see a golden opportunity, but its recommended (for example: the lost hat comic was originally one image!)
• i'd prefer if you didn't publicly showcase your comic until i do so myself, at least on public spaces (for example, between friend groups its fine), this is to avoid spoilers on new strips. you will be properly credited when i publish your comic, and after i do so you may feel free to promote yourself all you want
• i may reject a comic for any reason if i am not comfy with uploading it
