So, those who have known me long enough should already know that I'm deeply invested in LAW Magazine. I think the concept has a lot of potential for the site and for building the world of LAW, and I'm happy to explore that and see it grow. And the Hololive stream today reminded me of a concept I've had for the magazine for a while now, and I figured that with summer in full swing, it would be high time to put it into practice!
The idea is to introduce pictorial articles for LAW Magazine. Essentially, these would see interested users sending art of their characters that fits a specific theme, and these images would be compiled into an article format with captions. Think of it as a way to show off more art of your characters, and to get the word out about them in the process. I would love to put together the first such article to see if it's something that will work for the future!
As you may have already guessed, the theme of LAW Magazine's first pictorial will be Summer! Swimsuits, beach activities, vacations - there should be plenty of art for most characters on LAW that fits the theme, which gives us plenty to work with. If you would like to be a part of the article, DM me here or on Discord with a summer-themed picture involving one or more of your characters, and a brief caption (around 1-2 sentences) to give context on the scene.
These pictures do not need to be original pieces created specifically for the article (but that is welcome too!); existing art of your characters' faceclaims will be fine. It can involve characters used by other users, but if so, we advise that you please get permission from any other users involved before sending the image. Attributions to the artist are nice if you have them, too.
Once I get enough interested applicants, I'll compile the images and captions into an article, and post it for all to see!
To give an example of what I'm looking for, here's one for one of my characters:
A seaside girl at heart, Sanae Saitou is never far from the beach, and she never fails to impress wherever she's around.

I think this could be a fun way to share art and promote LAW users and characters, and I would be happy to give it a try and see if it works! If you'd like to be on board too, don't hesitate to drop me a line - and we'll see you around soon!
