Time to revive this project.

Previous thread: >>4198370
Discord Server: https://discord.gg/vKU5mtJ
Disaster spreadsheet (open to suggestions): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HZSKl5Cw9JNMgwmrSASy2X0aaTCFi6XhZloGt4DwDvg

>What is it?
A collective of drawfags depicting historical tragedies as cute anime girls!
Think Black Death, The Great Famine, Great Fire of Rome, the Titanic, the Fire of Notre-Dame, etc.

>What is it??
Think of it as a doujin (independently published) artbook.
Similar projects have been done in the past.

>Can I join?
Any help is welcome. We need artists, History enthusiasts and designers to make the book's layout.
There will be some quality control, but you don't have to be a pro. If you're capable of producing a fully-finished illustration in a moe style, that's all we need.

>Where?
Either join the Discord server or get a tripcode (User##Password) and post in the threads.

>How?
- Claim a disaster you want to draw;
- Other anons have a maximum 48 hours to dispute your claim;
- After that, as soon as you provide a sketch/concept for the illustration, your slot is secured.

>When?
The digital artbook will be released on May 1st, 2020.
Hopefully that'll be enough time for everyone.

>What if I get #cancelled on Twitter??
That is not impossible. You are free to submit your artwork with an alias.

Some events are chosen for their death tolls (the Holocaust), others by its historical relevance (9/11, which "only" killed 3000 people), or even by being fresh on people's minds (Notre-Dame Fire in 2019, no deaths).

The project is meant to be as apolitical as possible, so we'll go with whatever is the "academic consensus" on them.
The main goal is the appreciation of moe girls and History. Rather than to offend, the project aims at making people even if just a little bit more informed about and interested in past events of humanity.

Stop this. This is just some dumb psyop to target anime again by the media. That's the last thing we need right now.

Black Hole chan is not a tragedy, as strange as it is.

Here's a mockup of the book's layout and also my sketch idea for The Great Famine of China.
Feel free to chime in.

1 - Sparrow-chan (Famine-chan?) has no choice but to be a vagabond, she's tired and hungry;

2 - The Polish Embassy thing, description o nthe infobox;

3 - Sparrow-chan used to keep locusts away from the crops, an important role in the ecosystem;

4 - Two Communist propaganda kids drive Sparrow-chan away with a slingshot and beating of drums.

I still have some blank space left for some more content, for now I have no ideas.
