Frequently Asked Questions

It's good to know this stuff!

Q: Tarot? What's that? What is this? Where am I?
A: Look over here, my friend!

Q: This site doesn't have anything to do with hoodoo-voodoo, does it?
A: No, it does not.

Q: Is this some kind of art gallery?
A: Yes! It's a gallery of artwork relating to Tarot created by webcomic artists.

Q: Well, it sounds interesting, and I have a webcomic. I want in!
A: Great! Find out how to here and get to signing up!

Q: Do I have to draw in a particular style to join in?
A: Nope! All styles, genres, levels of humor, digital/traditional, and whatever else have you are acceptible. Please do your own thing! Make it detailed or simple - make something that represents your comic!

Q: So I'm free to interpret the cards in my own way?
A: Yep! As far as that goes, you're free. Just make sure that it relates to your webcomic somehow.

Q: Does my card have to be in full color?
A: It would be preferred, but black and white is fine, of course - just create a finished-looking image. :) Please, no rough sketches.

Q: Do I have to create something completely new for this project?
A: Yes! It'd be preferred. Please don't recycle older artwork or comic pages/frames (or, if you do, don't make them the sole/focus part of your card).

Q: Is there a template?
A: Yes! It's totally optional, of course, but some (like you) may prefer it! Download it here.

Q: What if I don't wanna use a template?
A: Then please keep it at least Tarot-card-shaped, twice as tall as it is wide.

Q: Does it have to be any specific file format/resolution?
A: When sending it to me, JPG and PNG are always best! Try not to make the submitted-for-display files too huge (but it's a good idea to make the originals high-resolution, like 300DPI).

Q: Is there a rating limit to the content of my card(s)?
A: It'd be nice if you kept your card(s) tasteful or publically viewable at least, but up to an "R" rating is fine. (Note that we can't host anything explicit, anyway.)

Q: How old should I be to be able to join?
A: You can be any age!

Q: When's the deadline?
A: There is none! I know we all have busy lives as artists and many other things - and this is just a low-key, for-fun project made to be enjoyed by creators and fans alike. So draw at your own pace!

Q: Oh no! I wanted to choose ____, but ??? has it already! What do I do?
A: Unfortunately, nothing. It's first-come, first, served, unless the below happens.

Q: Augh, something happened and I can't participate anymore. :( May I relinquish my card?
A: Yes you may! It will then be available for someone else to take.

Q: Wait, no, I changed my mind - can you put up what I got finished?
A: I'm afraid I'll have to turn down half-finished images. If you do happen to finish it in the future, though, I may feature it in some way. :D

Q: I'm kind of taking my sweet time... Are you gonna kick me out if I take too long?
A: Nope! I'll just give you an occasional (see: quadranual) prod to see if you're still working on it. After all, there is no time limit; still, I want to be sure you're actually making something. :)

Q: Are these going to be printed as an actual deck?
A: We don't have any plans to print right now, as it tends to get expensive, but if enough interest is generated from the webcomics' fanbases, we might look into starting a drive for it. :D So, "maybe!"

Q: My work is still my work after submitted, right?
A: Of course! Even if it does go to print, the copyright on your art and its contents are still 100% yours. As such, you can still do whatever you like with your Tarot piece, too.

Q: I have a sprite comic/my Star Wars spoof comic is awesome. Can I be in?
A: Sorry, but for the sake of copyrights and originality, only drawn and original comics (not based off of anything, that is) will be accepted. (Original sprite comics would be accepted, but I actually have yet to see anyone sprite their own comic.)

Q: I have more than one webcomic! Can I do a card for each?
A: Yeah, sure! As long as it's no more than two webcomics! It's for the sake of diversity. :)

Q: Hey, my friend has a webcomic! Can I get him/her to join in too?
A: Sure! Tell everyone you know who has a webcomic about this!

Q: I don't have a webcomic, but I wanna join!!
A: Well, then you'd better start one!

Q: Well, I'm kind of starting a webcomic...! How about that?
A: It'd be best if your comic was somewhat established. :D (That is, you have a few pages up already and are going to be a little consistent with updating it!)

Feel free to ask Sen more! Especially if something doesn't make sense.
