-February Overview

by on February 1, 2024

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~

-Special Announcement

by on December 26, 2023

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.

-December Overview

by on December 4, 2023

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 <_<

-November Overview

by on November 1, 2023

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 fvt

by on October 11, 2023

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.

-October Overview

by on October 2, 2023

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.

-September Overview

by on September 1, 2023

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!

-August overview

by on August 1, 2023

Hi folks, another month another overview~ July was a good month for fvt, we’ll see if the trend keeps up as we wrap the current chapter and move into more light hearted material. I will try to get some additional work on the fairy island map. I’m just wishy washy about how to draw the various towns. How much details to put in, vs just drawing some landmarks and filler houses. The map isn’t meant be precise to the meter, but I want it to be reliable and visually appealing, but towns are such hubs of complexity, they probably need their separate map. Once I get over this hurdle, the rest of the map will fill in quickly and I’ll move to color. For now, here’s a work in progress. (Open image in separate tab for large version)

-FvT 2023 half year round up

by on July 20, 2023

Hello everyone, Sokaras here again! Hope the year has been treating you all well. Half a year has passed, so I wanted to show you which pages have been voted best each month so far on the FvT discord.

Seems like this year so far can be summed up as “Star’s fall” 😀

I hope you have been enjoying these pages as much as I have. Wishing you all the best and thank you for reading Fairies vs Tentacles.

Sincerely,

Sokaras

-July Overview

Hi everyone, July and its heat are here. I hope summer is treating you well. Things continue as usual here, I didn’t had time to work on the map last month but I’ll try to get a good chunk done this month. I did had time to create additional buffer pages, that’s nice and help with the workflow. Speaking of which, there will be 5 color pages this month thanks to some generous contribution from fans and supporters, enjoy!
