Collaborate with us to create the panel artwork for the final scenes of Chapter 1 of THE DISCO BALL. These scenes will be told in the form of comic panels with narrative voice over, and serve as an integral part of the core narrative experience in Chapter 1. There will be two winners chosen for this Co/Create.
Submission Guidelines
Interested artists should submit 2-3 original panel illustrations that represent moments in these scenes.
Files should be delivered in editable AI, SVG, PDF, or EPS vector formats.
Story Context
As Alma struggles to save Jora’s life while floating outside of the ISS, the crew witnesses a mysterious flash that appears to extinguish all signs of life on Earth. In the immediate aftermath, Alma and Jora attempt to rocket back onto the ISS as the crew desperately tries to reboot communications and restore basic systems that rely on contact with the ground or other satellites. Once onboard, the crew finds themselves locked out of the only escape vehicle they can take back to Earth.
Creative Considerations
Artists shelby and sandy are hard at work building out the visual universe for the core narrative of THE DISCO BALL, but we are searching for two artists who can reimagine a new aesthetic world and style that represents this particular sequence of events in the crew’s desperate attempt for survival.
Creative References
Interested artists should submit 2-3 original panel illustrations that aligns with the brief (creative portfolio and writing sample optional).
Our creative team will review all submissions, considering overall artistic quality, originality, creativity, and alignment with the story context and creative considerations.

Once finalized, the approved panels will be integrated into the story experience, appearing as a core consumption feature of Chapter 1 of THE DISCO BALL.
