Frozen and Nightmare Before Christmas tanks I’ve been working on! They’re finally ready to cycle for some new bettas XD Both were a bit of a pain to make (Nightmare being the biggest) but I love them and I hope my future fish will love them too.
Hey everyone! I'm sorry to do this, but I'm going to be taking a break from updating Fish are Blue. I will be back though!
In the meantime, I hope to be more active here and on other social media regarding the comic. While I won’t be updating, I will still be making new comics and working on some other things.

Possible Update Delay
Good afternoon my awesome followers!! There is going to be a big snow storm hitting New England tonight into tomorrow, so unless I can manage to get the comic done and scheduled before it gets bad, Wednesday's comic may be delayed. Stay warm and be safe everyone!!!!
Shadow rouge redesign. I think it’s better, maybe. #Shadow #betta #FishAreBlue #myart
Shadow take two!
Neptune, master of science and healing. #Neptune #betta #FishAreBlue #myart
I like Seto and Neptune's outfit but I gotta redo Shadow's. He just looks silly to me lol. Well...sillier than a betta would look dressed up to play a D&D type game ^^;
Shadow, master thief and techno wizard. #Shadow #betta #FishAreBlue #myart I’m kinda eh on Shadow’s gaming design…maybe it’ll look better colored. Or I’ll just redo it ^^;
Sir Seto, knight of awesome, defender of things he declares cool. #Seto #FishAreBlue #betta #myart
Working on the costume designs for the next comic :P I'm simplifying Seto's knight outfit so I don't get annoyed drawing it for many strips ^^;
Felt Seto I made a while back.
Seto’s finished gravemarker!!!
I’m going to seal it again before I put it outside for him. Seto passed away over a month ago and I’ve been slowly working on this after he passed. It took me a while but I finally finished it (minus sealing once more) a few days ago. I tried to have the mosaic stones match him a little more than his cartoon counterpart does. I included tiger’s eye stones in his “substrate” because he gave me strength in life and to give him protection and strength in the afterlife. Tiger’s eye stones can symbolize strength, protection, self confidence, and courage; but when making his stone I chose to go with strength and protection for it’s meaning.
I miss you Seto, swim in peace with your brother and sister. You’ll always be in my heart <3
Preview of Seto’s grave marker. It’s pretty much done but I forgot to take a picture of the basically finished version. I’ll try and remember to take a picture of it tonight. I’m kinda nervous about putting it outside cuz of how long and hard I worked on it but I want him to have it. Plus it’s prettier than the rock he currently has ^^;
I miss him so much. I still can’t believe he’s gone but working on this has helped me cope a little. I’m sure his spirit is expecting a big statue next and National Seto Day to be a thing. Oh Seto, you were such a silly little betta.
Neptune sketch! I love drawing Neptune working on his science experiments :P
Dear mom

Love, Your Fishy Boys,
Seto and Neptune
P.S. I love you the most!!
P.P.S No he doesn’t! I do!

Dear female betta from the night club,
Well hello there pretty fishy! The name is Seto. I’m an aquarius, I love being awesome and long swims around my tank. We should totally go over to the bubble nest over my grand castle ;) We could chat over a romantic dinner of Omega One pellets, split a nice bloodworm for dessert and maybe watch some superhero movies.
Your Admirer,
Seto
P.S. The superhero movies are almost as awesome as I am!!

Dear president Obama
I plan on running for President someday, can you put in a good word for a super awesomely cute betta fish President? Neptune got to be Betta of the Month before and I know I could do better!! He’s all blah blah blah freedom and better treatment of fish, but I’d offer free fish food to everyone and throw pizza parties at the White House! Oh! Speaking of the White House, I’m going to paint it blue! White is sooo boring!! Blue would match my scales so therefor it is the better choice! How does that sound?
Your Future Ruler of the United States (and eventually the world),
Seto, Super President of Awesome!
