Hey webcomic fans! I’m Kels/pixelgraphite and I make the webcomic The Fairy King’s Coat!

It’s a modern fantasy comedy/drama about fashion, fairies, and arts patronage. Talented tailor Dot crafts a coat so fine it impresses Oberon, King of the Fairies.

You can read it here on Tapas or follow the comic on Tumblr! Happy Webcomic Day! 🧚✨

FKC Update 6/5/23

It's been a while, so I wanted to post an update.

Long story short, production's been slow because the last few months of school were hell, especially finals. So between generally trying to do well in school and working part-time, I had been exhausted. But it's summer now, so hopefully I can take a good chunk out of the writing process.

It's only been about a week of summer vacation, which has been devoted exclusively to deep-cleaning my room and work. However, once my room is taken care of (which will be soon, within this week, if not the next few days), I'll start putting more focus on the development of Feelin' Kinda Cocky.

Anyway, so I'm still currently working on Dustin's route. I have most of Day 3 written out, and the rest is planned out in bullet points. I'm trying to find a balance between quality and quantity when it comes to writing the initial routes. This largely consists of me skipping over the more mundane parts of plot, or recently, just giving myself a simple guideline to adhere to. Examples here:

Daniel is Dustin's dad's name

These methods, along with worrying less about the gameplay aspect of making choices and worrying more about the story/stories I'm trying to tell, are my primary methods to finishing a rough draft as quickly as possible. As per my January update, I'm trying to get all the routes done as quickly as possible. This means that there will be countless typos, missing details, and inconsistencies. However, my train of thinking is along the lines of "Get a basic outline now, so you can have something to edit later." A lot of creators get sucked into the mentality that every keystroke has to be perfect, and I've definitely been there, done that.

So instead, I'm doing the opposite: making a really messy script to create more quickly. It seems a little counterproductive, and like an inefficient way to make a game. But hey, neurodivergency. We ball

Anyway, that's sort of my current mindset and progress. Additionally, I've made "moodboards" of every character and ship to sort of draw inspiration from. I won't share all of 'em, but here's sort of the basic idea!

None of the art is mine, same thing with the images. Most of this was just found by searching characters up on here and being like "oo I like that for inspiration." Any picrews I made myself, but again, not my art.

Yup, so that's my process right now.

Anyway, as always, thank you for following the development of FKC! AMA, my inbox is always open :)

I AM NOT OKAY

[squidpedia]

So imma yap about your soul designs 🗣️🗣️

I'm pretty sure this is intentional, but most of your fallen kiddies have some sort of heart motif in their clothing. Like Aimee's pjs, Jackie's belt, Dove and Clover both have heart pins,(clover's is really small tho)Etc;

The only Soul that doesn't seem to have any hearts is Lilac, and I don't know if that's intentional, or if I'm not looking hard enough 💀

-TLDR; Yippie, character design aspects 🎉 /gen

OH SOMEONE NOTICED!!!!!!! I DIDNT EXPACT THAT HAHA THANK YOU :>>>

Yeah Lilac is kind of an awkward outlier in the group and they got a lot of funky stuff going on, thought it was fun that they’re lacking the heart whimsy design motif. Maybe in a hypothetical future revival scenario they’d have that heart added to their design when they’ve had time to chill out a bit

AO3 REALLY INSERTED A MAINTENANCE ON ME AS I WAS GONNA CLICK THE NEXT CHAPTER

ITS LIKE FLIPPING TO THE NEXT PAGE ONLY TO HAVE A BRICK THROWN AT YOU

[amid-fandoms]

“where did dan go? is it in phil’s urethra?”

“maybe”

THIS is the hard launch i was so excited about? bye mate

[miyuskye]

A soulmate is like a best friend, but more. It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It's someone you can carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did, or when no one else would.

Hiatus Announcement

I have made the decision to discontinue work on Feelin' Kinda Cocky altogether. Admittedly, it was ambitious, even when I started it back in 2020. I am just one person doing a majority of the work. Minus the beautiful art Rose provided for the Tumblr banner, everything done in this project so far has been on me. And except for a writer I haven't spoken to since the very start of them writing the Jeremy route, and the few artists who I will forever be grateful for volunteering and being patient, I would continue being the one to take on most of the work, which would include writing the routes, likely some art or art concepts, GUI design, coding, and original music. If I were a professional, I might have been able to handle this project pretty well. But I'm not a professional, just a high school senior.

However, I'm not entirely cancelling FKC. I can't promise it'll return in full, but I might shelve it and come back to it at some point. It really just depends on how my life goes. But for now, I don't really want to continue. I love Be More Chill and its characters. Really, this musical has reshaped the way I think about a lot of things, and it's dearly important to me. However, I've realized that I..don't really like the fandom all that much. Don't get me wrong, I've met some of my best friends and the most supportive people in my life from the Be More Chill Amino, but it's just not a place I feel welcome in anymore. (If you want a more detailed explanation, I will be making one shortly on my main account, CeceliAnonymous22.) I would rather move on to spaces I feel more comfortable in, though I don't regret my time in the BMC fandom.

All that to say, I'm not going to be working on this any further for a while. However, even if I do decide to not pick up FKC again, I might release Rich's route separately, since his is the only one I have completed so far. Maybe as a tribute to a classic ship that, thanks to the butterfly effect, opened a lot of doors for me. But other than that, I will be moving to pursue other projects in other fandoms. Likely, I will be trying to make more fangames, since being a game developer is, quite frankly, my dream job. But I'll be starting out small.

Thank you to everyone who helped or supported the development of Feelin' Kinda Cocky, a Be More Chill dating sim and my (now) former passion project. If you have any questions/comments, the inbox will still be open and I will answer. I appreciate you all.
