We still can't quite believe it, but The Fisherman's Favour really is finished, so we wanted to thank you all so much for jumping in this world with us. This comic was such a crazy project and your likes, reblogs, tags, comments, asks and fanart mean more than we can say. Some of you have been kind enough to ask whether we're planning on selling physical comic books. We are looking into that, so hopefully the answer will be yes. If you have any other questions about the comic, the asks on this blog are now officially open! We will do our best to answer any lingering curiosities. Either way, it's been a joy sharing this with you. Thank you for sticking with us all the way to Rembrandt and Eele's happy ending 💜 Deb & Laura

Hey, thank you so much for this comic, I’ve followed it for a long time and it’s been a pleasure. One thing I’m curious about is - did Rembrandt get a fish tail as well, or does he still have legs? It looked a little bit like legs when they were sitting on the rocks, so I was very intrigued!

My prose fairy tale never mentions exactly what Rembrandt looks like after his transformation. I describe that the salt water no longer stings his eyes or tastes bitter on his lips and that he can suddenly sea and speak freely under water. And then "with as natural a movement as rowing had been for him before, Rembrandt swam."

Because poetic vagueness is not an option in a visual media, Deb and I had to make an actual choice about the transformation and quickly got stuck at the problem of clothes needing to dissapear to go full mermaid.

Eventually we arrived at the choice to let Rembrandt keep his legs, but give him other aquatic characteristics. Deb pointed out this would look the most natural in the comic and I liked it because male merfolk actually have legs a lot of the time in folklore.

I was glad about clothes not simply disappearing BUT I did have to come up with some creative camera work so Rembrandt's butt wouldn't show Too Much by the end
