Hi everyone! No April’s fool for me, I’m too busy for that. I hope your tax season has gone well/is going well. I have a busy month ahead, it’s a 5 Monday month, so 5 updates. I also have some extra commission work in the pipeline, some of which is fvt related. All done in due time. No progress on the fullcolor map, sadly, Hopefully I can focus back on that this summer.
Thank you for reading, stay awesome~
Hi everybody, a new month a new overview. My return to work has been productive, and I hope I can do as much this March. I’d like to do a few more bonus pieces if I have time, but I won’t push myself too hard, I don’t want to hurt my wrist again.
I did spend some time last month working on the fvt script, and I’m happy to annouce I’ve reached a good milestone, I can’t tell what it is without revealing major spoilers, but I can say that by chapter 30, we’ll be 3/4 done with the main story. I need to refine said script, and work in more details for each chapter, and I might decide add a chapter or two depending on content density, but the finish line is in sight, just gotta draw my way there.
The overall idea is that I want to complete the main story, and then work on smaller stories and play around with the world I created. When I started fairies vs tentacle I didn’t expect I would expand its lore so much, but I did, as fans became very interested in my silly little hentai story and invested themselves in its various aspects. But I can’t explore all of this with the main story, or it will go on forever. So once the main story is over, it won’t be the end but rather a new phase of the exploration of that world, with new characters and adventure that can stand on their own without tedious tie back to things that happened hundred of pages ago. Some stories might happen in the past of the fairy island, others might happen in the present, some even in the future. We’ll see in due time.
I mainly just wanted to let you know an end is planned. My goal was never to have it go on forever, it’s just taking longer than I originally planned for various reason, but we’ll get there. Thank you for following me on this journey and stay awesome~
Hello everyone, Sokaras here. Now that Eldrik has had their well deserved rest and all last year pages have been posted publicly, time to show of which pages have been voted best each month in 2023 (polls held on FvT discord).
Which one is your favorite? I personally enjoyed 653 and found 668 very cute
Also adding visual compilation of everything Eldrik has drawn for FvT this year. Some stuff is already on website while others will take a bit to get uploaded
While we didn’t get any new monster entries this year, we did get new thing – Bonus art suggestions!
Supporters on Discord can leave up to two Bonus art suggestions for people to vote on. Each month the one with most votes is made. The suggestion is made up of prompts – the idea is to take your submission toward a certain direction, but still have the potential to be surprised with the outcome.
First one has already been uploaded on website in bonus art section. Or you can view it here:
Once again thank you everyone for enjoying the comic.
Sincerely, Sokaras
Hi everyone, I’m back to work! As mentioned during my break, the funding for January will be used through the year for additional pages and bonus content, but we’re keeping things casual for this February. I’ll indicate clearly when extra funding will be used.
Also, I found some time during my vacation to get some more work on the Fairy Island full map. I’m currently working on the Northen lands where the chaos fairies dwell. It used to be just a gray squiggle on the old map, but now I’m putting in more features.
Thank you all for your continued support, and for reading the comic, stay awesome~
Hello everybody, this is a special announcement.
So both me and my lady got really sick early December, but I pushed updates regardless and it has taken its toll. Given I wasn’t feeling my best before being sick, I elected to take January off. All of January. What this means in a few bullet points:
-All content updates will stop until February.
-I won’t be taking new commission until February.
-I still have bills to pay, so I might work on a few commission in the queue during January.
-Supporter funding will not be wasted, simply saved for later.
What this mean is that the 5 sketch pages, 4 comic page, 2 char questions and bonus artwork that should’ve been done in January will be made later throughout the year. If a month has 5 Mondays but there’s only funding for 4 pages, I’ll draw the extra page for free then. Some later months might have 3 character questions instead of 2, or 2 bonus pics instead of one. It probably won’t be February because that month is short to begin with, but I’ll announce these kind of things in advance.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
Hello everyone, December is here and it brought me and my lady a nasty bout of Flu. Since the end of the year is already busy normally, I will take a lighter workload than usual so I can still have some free time to celebrate my Birthday, Xmas and the New Year relatively stress-free. All of fvt’s content is set to be done as usual, but the commissions will be lower priority. Things should go back to normal in January. One day I’ll get back to working on the Fairy Island Map <_<
Hello everyone, I hope this autumn is treating you well. Not much to say for this month, I’ve been keeping up with my new commission workload while still trying to adjust my overall workflow to allow me some free time for side projects and silly ideas. I’ve fallen a bit behind on the work for the HD map, so I’ll try to put some time aside for that. Let’s get that 10th year of fvt started!
9 years of fairies and tentacles! I couldn’t predict I would make it this far when I started in 2014. And this is all thanks to you, the readers, and the supporters. Thank you.
As is now tradition, I made a picture of the most on-screen characters for this year.
Hi everyone, happy spooky month 😛
This October also mark fvt’s 9th anniversary, and as I’ve been doing the last few years I’ll make a dedicated picture to celebrate the occasion. We also have 5 Mondays this month, so there will be 5 pages. Regarding the commissions, things went well overall, but I might have been a bit too enthusiastic about the amount of work that this represented. Given that I will have extra work to do this month regardless I will reduce the amount of work being done on the commission side, at least for this month. I simply need to find the sweet spot in term of workload, so this may take a few months to adjust properly. This also mean I didn’t find time to work on the island map, but I hope I can get back to it this month.
Hello Gentlefolks, big news today. Some of you may already be aware if you are part of the fvt or gfc discord, but I’ve stopped working on Grim Fate Comic as a full time comic artist. I will continue to do some pictures and bonus content for it, but my workload has been greatly reduced. Mental and physical stress of working on two fullcolor comic project has taken its toll over the years, and it was time that I take it seriously, if I still want to be able to do comics at all in the future. My focus as a comic artist will solely be on Fairies vs Tentacles now, although there’s no plan to increase page output unless I can afford to hire additional help, as stated by the milestone goals.
That being said, regardless of my health situation, bills need to be paid, so I am opening again for commission, with the caveat that I am currently not taking comic commissions. My goal is to clear 5 commission every month, I will do more if I can, but that’s the minimum I set myself for.
If you have extra $$ laying around and want a commission, just contact me here or on the discord server, it’s first come first served. Here is my commission sheet:
Also, in other news, we get 5 pages this month, yaay~
Thank you for reading and supporting the comic, stay awesome!
