Fairies vs Tentacles

Hi everyone, so a few news today; While fvt’s direct funding has been slightly decreasing over time, commission funding has been going way, way up, and some of it involve fvt, in terms of random pictures, minicomic project, character sheets, lore exploration and so forth, so I would say the project overall is still very healthy, there’s just been a change in the focus of the spending. So I want to make this clear, while I might increase my commission prices in the future to match inflation and other economical issues, FvT’s funding goals will probably stay the same forever. At this point the project has a certain legacy and influence that goes beyond the next Monday page, and I should probably see it as a marketing expenditure rather than my monthly livelihood. Of course it would be nice if we got more direct funding in the future to pay for more pages/week, but I will simply not worry about it. I’m setting dedicated tasks to the script to push that part of the story to full completion, followed by the sketch pages, and the color pages will catch up whenever they want!

Other bits of news, I’ve also dedicated a little bit of time every day to work on the Island map, rather than foolishly hoping to have time to spend 10 straight hours on it, and it showed serious progress. The map should be completed before 2026. Seeing the success of this endeavor, I hope afterward I could apply a similar treatment to the definitive edition, but that’s a consideration after the map is completed.

Below is a comparison of the progress, October 1st vs October 31st
