Fara’s Arc is back for more sketches, lore, and chaos in 2026!
Yes, really! The last time I touched my Star Fox comic concept about Fara Phoenix having her own death-defying parallel plotline during the Lylat Wars of 64 was in 2020 - 2021. I can’t get enough of this story, it’s such a sweet escape for me to keep developing!
Since I’ve been on such a long hiatus to the point that this plot has aged like fine wine, I’m calling my own reboot of my own fic-comic something DIRECTOR’S CUT-y: Fara’s Arc DX!
As you can tell, I’m extremely lazy when it comes to naming my stories, but I wanted this one to sound just like a videogame. I had fun cooking up a few sketches of new ideas.
Links to the old content:
Fara's Arc (2020): My remixed take on the Lylat War, featuring Fara as the protagonist of a wild series of events. I gave Fara a unique plotline during the war against Andross and experimented with her as a main character, a hero of her own story. Through her arc, we also experience the Lylat War in a new way.
It was fun for me to imagine how to build on the lore of the Lylat War and play with introducing other events and characters that make the Star Fox world a little larger and take you all on a ride! A piece of Adventures lore (Cerinia) has a “butterfly effect” on triggering this plot.
Fara’s Arc (2020) was an experiment for me where I told the fic through ‘storyboard’-like sequences. It was dialogueless with only my storybook-style passages as a supplement (think of how Star Fox Command narrated the endings!). I wanted my readers to infer all sorts of things through the drawn pictures.
I’m really fond of Benimaru Itoh’s SNES comic, so this story is influenced by a lot of things established by Fara’s creator. Fara’s Arc emulates the rather mature and eccentric atmopshere of the SNES-era Star Fox and loosely follows the SNES character ages (Fara, Fox, and friends are aged-up to the SNES canon).
Lastly, I don’t pair Fara with Fox in my continuity. I give her a new love interest made precisely for her, in an effort to have her narratively step out of Fox’s shadow and have a life of her own. I’m a fan of both Fara and Krystal and their story potentials in SF and I prefer not to show them competing over a man, lol. More self-actualization for the Star Fox ladies, please!

Fara’s Arc DX (2026):
Sketch log is tagged as “FADX sketch log”. That’s all I’ve got so far!
I plan to write DX in an illustrated narrative fashion, similar to the original: I’ll guide you through the plot in each Act as a third-person-omniscient narrator. This is a rather old-fashioned, “storybook/fairytale” style of writing that gives it a more nostalgic quality. Ironically, this kind of style was applied in Star Fox Command.
This is my little pet project that’s supposed to resemble an official-release Star Fox comic in terms of the plotline and storytelling decisions (with my own stylistic flavor and takes, of course). That includes my character designs and worldbuilding choices. It’s supposed to be a “canon-compliant” story with its own unique continuity features, lore-wise: I want to immerse my readers!
