the world
of it remains

In a world destroyed by war, pollution, and overconsumption, all that remains is bone, dust, plastic, and the distant memory of what once was. At the heart of this desolate wasteland is a mysterious yellow lake known simply as the Yellow Mouth, which devours everything in its vicinity. Two survivors, known only as It and Its Father, are Resisters of the Yellow Mouth, fighting to preserve what little is left of human knowledge, culture, and drive.


JURY CRITERIA

The jury will be open to any and all stylistic reinterpretations of the characters and world of It Remains. Be as loose as your heart desires, or submit as detailed and refined a work of art as your patience allows for. Submit in multiple styles if you want. Follow proper composition like a good boi or break with rules as deeply as you'd like. Stick to color theory truly, or practice chromatic anarchy. The jury will excersiсe it's subjective judgment, and reserves it's right to be as explicit as it feels necessary.
