Hi! I'm Ray. I use art and zines to stay sane while I study to be a doctor. Orufrey is such an incredible ship. We'll do our best to do it justice!
I haven't seen/read this series but I do love the fanarts :3

Hi, I’m Nes, a story artist and character designer who loves big worlds and characters that make big impressions. Witch Hat Atelier, and Orufrey especially, mean so much to me and their character dynamic is incredible. I look forward to seeing them love and come to life all over again in this project!

Frequently Asked questions
What is a zine?
Zines (pronounced like the third syllable in "magazine") are a tradition of collecting artwork, prose, and/or other forms of content centered around a theme together into a booklet. Fanzines, zines centered around existing media arranged by fans, are a tradition dating all the way back to the late 1960s with fans of Star Trek. They often include a combination of fanart and fanfiction, but can also include other forms of fan content such as cosplay photos, in-universe written works, poetry, and more!
What form will this zine take?
This zine will be a physical book with physical merch, likely with a separate limited edition add-on item. The zine itself will be an A5 hardcover book. The exact merch items included will be announced at preorders!
What type of content will be included in this zine?
Starry-Eyed will be a mixture of art, writing, and comics about Orufrey, the romantic ship between Qifrey and Olruggio from Shirahama's Witch Hat Atelier. We aim for the content in the main zine to be appropriate for a teen and up audience, similar to the source matieral.The project will include a digital NSFW side zine. All adult content will be separated and locked from the main zine so that contributors may opt in or out of seeing it. All content included must depict consensual encounters between characters over the age of 18.The content of our zines zine will feature the relationship between Qifrey and Olruggio throughout their lives. There may be manga spoilers included in the zine and contributor server. We will request discussion of spoilers occur in specific locked channels when possible.We do not currently plan to include alternative creators, such as cosplayers or fiber artists.
How can I apply as an artist or writer for the zine?
Our contributor applications for artist, writer, and merch artist positions are currently OPEN! Links can be found on the home page of this Carrd and our social media pages. Applications will be juried based on the quality of the submitted works and portfolio. All applicants will receive an email with their candidacy results after applications have closed. A small number of contributors have been invited as guests.All contributors will be expected to follow the rules of the project and server, including respecting the mod team and their fellow contributors, meeting deadlines or communicating when unable to do so, and keeping discussion of inappropriate topics to the proper channels or off of the server.All contributors must be over the age of 18. Zine experience and social media reach are not necessary! We highly encourage submitted portfolios include a sample of Qifrey or Olruggio, but it will not be required. All guest and application selection will be BLIND to demographic information such as race, nationality, sexuality, etc, even when this information may be available. More information regarding the application and contributor expectations can be found in the application forms.
Where will the money go?
The proceeds of this project will be donated to charity. Funds raised during preorders will go toward production and compensating contributors with copies free of charge (pending the success of preorders), after which any extra funds will be donated to a highly-rated charity voted upon by our moderator and contributor team.
How will contributors be compensated?
As this project is for charity, contributors will not be compensated monetarily. We aim to provide every contributor with a full bundle free of charge, though our ability to do so will depend upon the success of preorders. In the event that the zine cannot afford to cover full bundles, we will subsidize as much as possible and offer contributors the chance to purchase zine items at their production price.
