It is October 2022 (scream emoji)

Phew... Due to circumstances (life, pandemic, stuff), this project is currently on hold. All submitted artwork will be duly stored, and hopefully showcased at one point. Rest assured, our love for all things Portrait hasn't gone away.

It is August 2021, you started this project in December 2020...

Ouch, yes, this project is *still alive*. And it's not that we've lost interest in all the wonderful Portrait fanart. On the contrary, we love to how you keep the fire alive on Instagram, Tumblr whathaveyou... So fingers crossed, we'll get in touch with more of you / more of you find us. For now, thanks to all the lovely artists that have kindly shared their art with us.

So back to our regular programme.....................

Why did you call this Project 28?

It's a nod to a certain number mentioned in a crucial scene in Céline Sciamma's film Portrait of a Lady on Fire | Portrait de la jeune fille en feu.

("Project" as in our little pet project. There is no Project 1-27, in case you were wondering. No? Okay...)

Who are you...?!

Truly, this is a philosophical question, but thanks for asking.

We are real people from all over the world and big fans of Céline Sciamma's film Portrait of a Lady on Fire | Portrait de la jeune fille en feu. We found each other on Tumblr dot com, obsessing raving about every aspect of this film.

One day we came up with the idea for this website, because we felt that it would be great to collect all of your wonderful Portrait fanart in one place. And lo and behold, here we are.

But really, this is about you not us.

Alright, alright... One of us can be found here. Proceed with caution 😉

What is Portrait of a Lady on Fire | Portrait de la jeune fille en feu about?

In Céline Sciamma's masterpiece, Portrait of a Lady on Fire | Portrait de la jeune fille en feu, Marianne falls in love with Héloïse, the woman whose portrait she was commissioned to paint. Set in Brittany in 1870, the film is a monument to love, equality, the inspiration of artistic creativity, and the power of memory that shapes us for years to come. While the dialogue and the acting are masterfully restrained, the film is also visually sumptuous, with nearly every scene providing now-iconic images that have inspired much of the artwork we present here.

Have a look at Wikipedia for more general information about the film - ENG, FRA, ESP, ITA, KOR, CHI ...

Loads of Portrait fans can be found on Tumblr, Twitter or Instagram (typical tags would be 'PortraitOfALadyOnFire' (d'oh), 'PortraitNation', or search for Céline Sciamma, Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel). Either way, come and find us 👉🏽👈🏽

Are you in any way affiliated with the Portrait creators / producers / distributors?

We wish, but nope.

Check out the below links:

• Céline Sciamma (director, screenwriter)

• Lilies Films (producer)

• mk2 / Pyramide Distribution (French distributors)

• Neon (US distributor)

What else do I need to know about your call for submission?

There is no restriction on the kind of artwork you may post, though it must be recognisably related to images and characters from the film. Alternative Universe (AU) versions of the characters are fine. However, we will not host any images etc. depicting violence, abuse or degradation, whether of the characters or the actors depicting them. Any artist submitting such images will be summarily banned from participating.

Feel free to link to your own site (via the submission form) - we will not sell artwork here, but you are welcome to post a link to your shop or other works.

Please note that we may need to reformat your image etc. in order to keep the archive content as consistent in size and graphic quality as possible.

What will happen to my art once submitted?

We will check if it's in line with the minimum requirements (size, quality, content) as mentioned above / in the form, then store it on Google Drive, and link to it on this website (and on social media TBC) with any supporting information shared by you.

MAYBE further down the road, we might publish a comicbook, fanzine or book with your fanart. And yes, we will get in touch with you before any of that happens (if at all).

How many times can I submit my work?

As many times as you like (please indicate this accordingly in the submission form). But you can also upload multiple files in one go.

How long will this project be going?

We accept submissions on a rolling basis, and maintain the site as an archive for as long as Google will have us.

If storage runs out, we will consider moving to another provider, or stop accepting submissions.

What's in it for me?

Our eternal gratitude, a shared space among fellow (Portrait fan-)artists, a lovely archive of Portrait fanart, hopefully new fans and supporters for your art from Portrait Nation and beyond, again, our eternal gratitude... but sadly, no 💰💰💰.

And let us be super clear, we will not charge you for sharing your art on this website, or sell your art to make any 💰💰💰.

Realistically speaking, people visiting this site may save a copy of images etc. that are shown here. We would therefore ask you (dear artists) to watermark your work, or take similar precautions if you are worried about misappropriation.

Okeee, that's it on this topic 😅.

We have used Termly’s Privacy Policy Generator for a number of these Q&As.

What are your terms and conditions?

You can find the somewhat dry but necessary T&Cs here (PDF), updated in August 2021. See above for how these T&Cs were created, i.e. it's *not* perfect and none of us have a law degree (methinks), but we fixed some of the wording after receiving complaints (umm, in February, sorry!)
