Today’s illustration was created for us by Theo P. Art; once again, it’s a beautiful pixel-art lucky charm, this time inspired by Seras Alkahest. The pixel art is incredibly refined and executed to perfection: even though the image is tiny, you can almost feel its three-dimensional quality.

Today’s illustration was created for us by Theo P. Art, and... wait, what’s this? A good-luck charm? A charm inspired by none other than our main guy, Sangreal? Interesting,very interesting… Oh, and there are more to come,based on other characters from Fish Don’t Cry. #FishDontCry #PixelArt

Full moon give a lot of energy to lycanthropes like Sara, and if they're keen on getting more and more powerful, it makes it so much harder to stay asleep instead of giving in and exercise to get just one last rep! ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ (Your muscles need that sleep though!) Do you want fitness advices?

It’s Monday! Do you know what this means? Exactly! A new lil’ episode of Fish Don’t Cry! But wait, this time there is also a new cover, because this is the start of Chapter 3! And finally the love interest is here, uh uh ;) Enjoy! Read it here: tapas.io/episode/4011... #FishDontCry #FnMArt

Illustration was created for us by Juglone; it’s a digital drawing of our main guy, Sangreal! Here he looks bigger… fatter, more muscular… Could (s)he be in the second phase of his life? The female phase, that is. We’ve never made a secret of the fact that pistrix are capable of changing sex.

Our colleagues/writing mates are helping us by making the page/posting the comics on ComicFury, and honestly we think #FishDontCry looks AWESOME in the new layout! Wow!

It’s monday! Do you know what this means? Yes, a new lil’ episode of Fish Don’t Cry! There’s a thing that Sangreal loves a lot: eating shrimps. And there’s a thing he hates a lot: having to stop eating shrimps. Today, both things will happen. #FishDontCry #ProjectOdyssea #FnMArt #Comic #Webcomic

It's monday! Do you know what that means? Exactly, a new lil' episode of Fish Don't Cry! For Sangreal and his people, dancing with someone is a very romantic, very intimate process: it's about trust and learning to know each other. Now he's in the club. Do not miss it ;) #FishDontCry #Comic

And so, Sangreal had a secret... one he didn't even know he possessed. Or rather, he didn't know it was a secret! He was directly connected to the "monster" following the ship... but how? Find out this and much more in the new chapter of Fish Don't Cry! Don't miss it! #FishDontCry #CactusStories

E così Sangreal aveva un segreto... che neanche lui sapeva di avere. O meglio, non sapeva che fosse un segreto! Era connesso direttamente al "mostro" che seguiva la nave... ma come? Questo, e molto altro ancora, (nel nuovo capitolo de "I pesci non piangono")
