About our Magazines
Our Publications: Sketchozine.com, OfficialAnimator.com, and 3dFxMagazine.are open and accessible to all artists, animators, designers, and photographers. Artists are sought out on a continuing basis through ongoing international calls for entries, chosen from our Contest winners and from our submissions. From these entries artists are selected purely on the merits of their work. In this manner, Sketchozine, OfficialAnimator, and 3dFxMagazine remain accessible and maintain a high standard of quality in the work represented.
Artists are presented in the magazine in a few different formats. Some artists are selected for full sized articles about their work. These articles may be analytical or biographical and range from one to three pages. Artists featured in articles are also used to illustrate the front and back covers of the magazine. Other artists are represented and selected for image display pages. These pages are not formatted as articles, but simply with artwork and contact information. These display pages can be in the form of a double page spread, a single page, half page, or a small thumbnail.
All artists in the magazines have the option of listing their personal contact information at the end of the book within the Article Index, web site, and email for purposes of business contact and sales.
There is no cost to artists selected to appear in our magazines through the call for entries. In each issue 50 - 100 artists are selected by this method. We do reserve a few pages in each issue for artist and company advertising related to our particular niche.. Artists who are not accepted to the magazine through the call for entries may be given the option of being promoted on our website.
