Due to trickling submissions and the time it takes for production:

We are setting THIS saturday (December 22, 2023) as the cut-off date for the comics submissions for the January edition.

You can still submit comics after that date, but they will not apply to the January comic and instead go to the next issue, which will (hopefully) be uploaded in March.

The theme for the next issue will be Celtic (or similar) mythos, fae, and Magic.

For more details refer to the text under the cut:

Fae, in the context of Celtic culture, refers to magic entities that are non-human. This includes more typical sidhe, ghosts, elves, dryads, etc. Since the Celts, fae have made an abundant appearance in storytelling from classical literature, such as Shakespeare, to more modern works such as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. It is because of Celtic mythology that we have many of the fantasy races we have today, such as pixies, elves, dwarves, etc!

But the Celts aren't the only ones with their own stories of magic. Almost every culture has its own version of "Fae-like" creatures, and we would like to specify that ALL CULTURES ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED.

From classic mythos to contemporary magic, we aim to cover all kinds of magic and tales of grandeur from all over the world and highlight the importance of a little mysticism and magic escapism in human society across the world.

Excuse our absence

Things haven't quite gone as planned and our end goal now looks quite different.

We have new things planned and we hope you stick around to help us see it through. We apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment this might cause. A less vague or cryptic post will be made at a later date explaining all this in more detail.

Thank you for your time, patience and support.

Heyoo!

We'd still like to highlight some other artists that didn't make it into this edition. Does anyone have some kind of template for media recommendations (if that makes sense)?

We could do it ourselves, but it'd take a lot of work off our shoulders.

Drew over the official Weiss volume 7 reference to try and get down some color variations for her. These layers are making things difficult.
