Hello Kacho_Nacho,

1. I understand that you want a 4 panel comic. However, I could not find the desired size of the submissions. What dimensions would Square Enix prefer?
There is no size limit in terms of resolution. Given that screenshots are to be used, which are allowed to be cropped, we expect and number of size combinations up to 1920x1080 (and more) per image. In other words – it’s up to you.

2. Would it be okay if I outline the panels and speech bubbles? I do this as a matter of course with my regular comics because it makes the finished product neater.
Please submit the comic in the form of four screenshots that have been minimally edited – outlining the speech bubbles should be fine. The rules for the contest have been made with simplicity in mind to give everyone the same chances, no matter their level of skill.

From the rules:
“Submit four screenshots related to the theme of Starlight Celebration (an in-game seasonal event) with speech bubbles and/or brief captions (“Text”) and post them in the dedicated contest participation thread”

But we’re sure you’ll make something nice out of that as well – it’s the content that counts, after all
