I write Mysteries of the Arcana, a tarot inspired fantasy webcomic that refuses to be defined in anything resembling an elevator pitch. The comic is one years old, coming up on 100 pages, and the end of it's first storyline. The artist is Keith W, an excellent partner who has only continued to improve as he's worked on the comic.

The link's in my signature but I'll give a sample in this message, too.

See people... lesbian - human/elf (sorry if I got the species wrong) make out session!

Now THAT! is how to promote your comic. All you gotta do is just show this and people want to see more.

Nicely done.  Wink

Chrys isn't an elf but we do call this a lesbian elf kiss in jest.

I try not to exploit the lesbian aspect of the comic too much but I do recognize that it DOES have advertising value.

Yes.  This.  Love your comic, Mr. Gray, as you are well aware.  I actually find that the lesbian aspects take a backseat in the comic.  If/when called upon to describe MotA, I don't know that I'd even mention it ^.^  Funny how that works out, huh?

Honestly, if the lesbian thing is just a low hum in the background for you? It means I'm writing it correctly. Smiley

I didn't make a big deal when we made our 100th page or when we turned one year's old. Today, though, I'm gonna shout happily. Mysteries of the Arcana, after 119 pages and fifteen months of updates (only two missed, because of a death in the family), has finished her first storyline! Nothing compared to some comics,  I know, but I'm pretty darn excited.

Already working on the next chapter and our new website (thanks to everyone here for help in suggestions there).

Took a dew days to slowly read through it, and all I can say is, I want more.

Took a little time to get into it, but it finally grabbed me. If there's one thing I envy about your art, it's the expressiveness in your characters, not only the faces, but their body language.

Hjels, I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm glad you want to read more. I promise, more is on the way. Smiley

I'll pass along the compliment's on the art. I, too, think Keith does a great job with body language. He really tries to pay attention to how the whole person communicates information, not just their face.

Your comic's on the list to have a good read of, but at a cursory look your artist's use of body language and facial expression conveys a heap of skill.
