About Feretta
Hi! I’m Feretta, and I’m the writer, artist, director and everything-elseor for A Tale of Tails. My hobbies include biking, being a genius, being evil, taking over the world (I try to limit that to every other thursday, gotta have SOME respect), computers, technology, inventing stuff, carpenting and art! I generally consider myself a very clever person when it comes to understanding things around me, and my special ability is pulling world lore out of my ass on the fly. It’s a great party trick.
In my professional life, I’m a graphic designer with a degree in media design, but I’ve also been branching out to many other design forms. I’m also slowly considering changing my profession to illustrator/artist/comic book maker on a permanent basis.
You can watch me work on illustration/art/comic stuff on a pretty much daily basis over on https://piczel.tv/watch/Feretta from 7 PM CET
If you need to contact me, you can reach me on FurAffinity, on E621.net, on Twitter, on Tumblr or if all else fails, email me at contact at feretta.net 🙂
Hello
Hi! I enjoy watching your comic and I love it, so thanks for doing this great work! When I saw all the info about the world of the story and everything, I thought it would be a good idea to make a server in Discord about the story where people can roleplay. What do you think about it?
I’ll eventually start setting up things like that when I’m not splitting my attention between this and my day job. 🙂
Actually, I would like to do one because I’m spanish and when I show people who didn’t read this piece of art liked it, so maybe if there was a spanish speaking server more people could see your art. Also, you could join if you want so you check anything you’d like to see.
I mean, feel free, fan servers are completely fine by me.
Hello. I really like your comics and the style of your drawings. I would like to translate your Space Vix comic into Russian for “acomics.ru”. I know that your work on it is now suspended, but this is not a problem, because I will have more time to translate both existing and subsequent pages when they appear. According to the rules, I need your permission to publish the translation. I wanted to write to you about this personally, but did not find links to your e-mail.
It’s a bit of an awkward comic to post anywhere other than Webtoon, but sure, go for it.
What do you mean by “awkward”?
By the way, I’ve planned to split large pages into several small ones because I can’t save the image from webtoon in full size.
Awkward because it’s really tall and Webtoon has it cut up into 1280px heights :p I plan to make a new section of this site and remodel that comic to fit here instead, though, so if you give me like.. Half a year, I might get around to it.
It’s a great idea to bring comic here in a more convenient format. I was just thinking of doing this during the translation and publication on “acomics.ru”, because there are some restrictions on page size.
I’m not sure that I can do everything perfectly and most likely the fragments will not be the same size so as not to separate the important elements of the frame. Nevertheless, I really want to make this translation in order to bring this story to a larger number of readers. Vix is just too cute to ignore her 🙂
Very first lewd series that has me hooked up on the story.
Why, why do you have to give me such feels.
WHY. q.q

Hello, i’ve been following your comic for a very long time because it’s just so god damn amazing (haven’t had a need to make an account until now)! You and a couple other artists have inspired me to become one as well, so I was wondering if you had any quick tips to get started or a kind of tutorial / lesson online to recommend. If you would, that would be amazing! Keep up the great work!
Hi! Sorry, I completely missed this one. I plan to make some beginning stuff at some point, but until then, I recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlJ6rwj3PKg and https://drawabox.com/
So feretta, did Stumblr end up nuking your account? if so, where will you be posting now, just FA/E621? is there a twitter?
They can’t nuke my account, there’s nothing there that’s against their new and “improved” ToS. Only difference is now I have to censor everything.
noooo not censor :C, send them to suck a duck
reason i was initially suspecting they had shut your accout down was for the first 10-ish hours, when i would try to goto your page, the “sensitive media” warning would come up. and there wasnt anywhere in the settings to turn it off. so i thought this was how they were going to issue bans or something.
Hello! I admire your project and would like to translate it into russian and put it on the site https: //acomics.ru with the source. Will you give me your permission?
All the previous chapters have already been translated, you can find them right here https://e-hentai.org/?f_search=feretta&f_apply=Apply+Filter 🙂
Yep, maybe. But this site is not available in Russia. And I want to release your comic on available and famous site.
It’s not? Huh.. Anyway, feel free. 🙂
@Feretta, Is there any upcoming date on the next section/chapter of “A Tale of Tales”? If so please reply so I can read it, I just found this site yesterday and I would love to see more of thus artwork and read the story a bit more. I am in love with your art style, especially in chapter 5.
As a part of that honorable staff of members on that forum i would to say (millions) of thanks for what i could consider one of the mist beautiful comics i would ever see in my timeline, extremly sensational and well drawed arts are barely what im looking for since years now, but i couldn’t express how im really feeling when i see your comic its just tremendous and i can’t await for the next page, as everyday i come and check and i get filled with happiness as soon as i see that theres an update, keep on the good work, because my support will remain the same as far as you keep the divine work your producing…
Cheers buddy !
I randomly came upon your story and I have to say I am blown away. I absolutely love the world building you’ve done. I love the characters and I love the art. I look forward to seeing what adventures Fen will have in the future. 🙂
Keep up the good work and know that you’ve made a fan for life!

As per your recent confession – I don’t mind if you’re male or female, straight or bi (unless you’re a centaur, in which case I’d invite you over for sure).. I’m straight as an arrow and I seriously LOVE your work and I hope to see much more of it in the future, so keep up the good work and be who you are – you are probably better at it than anyone else.. Should bad things befall you I will fight for your right to stand tall (and if you’re a centaur I’ll throw in fresh pastures and a cosy stable).
Love ya,
Fwedewick
Hey Ferreta first of all love your work been following you since the very beginning of tails of tales and can’t wait to see more stuff come out. I’m a young artist who’s just gotten ok with drawing and been wanting to draw a graphic novel for years now. I already have a story and all that, but I still have the problem of getting my characters out my head and onto the paper in front of me for rough sketches and brainstorms. Do you have any like tips or tutorials on how you draw your characters as I love your art style and want to put a little of it into my novel. If so could you send them to me I would absolutely cherish any help I could get.
your comic has a great storyline and also the picture are way better then most of these comics
keep up the great work 😛
i had read the comic last night but this is so awesome, i love the draw and the storyline though, if i could support you? x)
Hey feretta inlove this comic so much and was wondering if i can use fenfen as a roleplay character in a server i made on another platform. I thought it wouldnbe right to ask you before i do anything.
Hello Feretta, I was wondering, actually suggesting, you should make more shirts and little things like that. Especially for Tale of Tails, I would love to invest and buy a shirt about the comic. Not really me to get Space Vixen though.
Because I can’t find it anywhere I will ask…
Do you have a streaming schedule?
If so what are the average starting times?
Generally around 6-7 PM CET on the daily.
I have an idea •w•
Do you happen to do commissions?
(I’m tired at the time of posting) If so, how much for one?
I do, but my waiting list is closed since it’s 3 months long at the moment.
http://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/feretta/ Price list, though.
Heheh…I’ve been trying to write a few stories of my own for a few years now, and have been gradually making progress on my artistic abilities… The combination of the two has me wanting to start something along the lines of what you have going on here. However… It would be more along the lines of comic-style border templates being edited via computer, then printed so I can do the artwork by pen, then scanned to edit and make the final product. I was wondering if I could talk with you about this to see what you thought.
If you want to draw it traditionally, do a quick sketch of your panel layouts, then draw each panel without borders on separate bits of paper. That way, you can focus entirely on the art itself, and do the framing digitally afterwards 🙂
Ah, that makes sense.
Thank you, my friend. If it ever goes anywhere, I’ll be sure to give you an honorable mention!
(Possibly an Easter Egg/reference if it’s fine with you.)
Oh, and would you mind if I sent you a couple drawings of mine? Digitally, of course.
Of course not, send away 🙂
Alrighty~
I sent them to the email provided above: my apologies for the quality, my sketches are often…rushed. If they don’t arrive, please let me know. The email should say Psyro554, if short term memory hasn’t failed me XD
It should actually be two emails…
Hey Feretta, you have probably answered this question a few times but what program(s) do you use to create your comic?
Entirely made in Clip Studio Paint from start to finish. Sometimes I make quick little 3D models of places and architecture to help perspective, usually it’s just raw freehand.
Cool, I appreciate the reply. I’m planning on getting a nice tablet in the next month or so when money permits. (College and all.) Do you have any tips on digital art in general?
It takes practice, don’t get discouraged and try to keep a light touch. And use your wrist and elbow more than your fingers :p You’ll understand if you keep it in mind.
Thanks Feretta. 🙂
Greetings! I finally made an account, dunno why I didn’t sooner since I’ve been following this comic since Chapter 1…
Well hi! One barely needs an account here anyway, so that’s understandable 🙂
True true. Still now I can actually comment instead of jus saying it to myself xp.
Side note. I’m having issues uploading a profile pic. Is that common?
Not as far as I’ve been told, it’s been working fine.
I get “File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.” Which is gibberish to me
Not sure what would be causing that, but your file might be broken.. What’s the file size of it?
I appreciate how biking is at the top of you list. Could you elaborate on the the style of biking, and whether the average ferellian would find difficulty mountain biking?
-i have now exhausted the majority of my vocabulary in two sentences-
The average Farellian is pretty sturdy and strong, so they’d be quite fine with mountain biking.
As for myself, I like going fast on smooth flat surfaces.
What i meant was, would the leg or body shape of someone like fenfen clash with the shape of the bike?
Not really, it’d be like biking with your toes, which is what you do anyway :p
Greetings! I’m Psyro; future councillor, psychologist, perhaps mentalist, but as of current, sketch artist, writer, and defender of allies. I’m…relatively new here I guess (I joined about five minutes ago XD) and just wanted to say hi, introduce myself, et cetera.
So…um…hi!
*the group pulls another chair into the circle* Hi Psyro!
*Happily takes a seat, then absentmindedly fiddles with the collar of the dress shirt I’m wearing*
Eheheh. Thank you!
It was ur comic that got me inspired to write a novel if u like when I’m done with the first chapter I can send it to u, if u like u can also send me some notes on what u like and dislike, and what I need to add and take away.
Sure thing 🙂 Can’t promise I’ll find time to read it, but I’ll be happy to look it over.
If you like, I could read it as well; I’ve been trying to write books for the last eight years XD
I want to thank u feretta
You know in Russia it is now White Nights.The sun is only down from 24:00-03:00.Worst thing about it is sun still shines at 21:00 like it is midday.
In northern Norway, we have 24 hour sunlight in high summer. Thankfully, I no longer have a bedroom window towards the sunset/rise (which generally happen 3-5 minutes apart), so I get to sleep in the summer now. Except for the heat due to the boiler room under my apartment..
Oh dear.
Heh…My air conditioner is completely busted, and it’s an old house, so only a handful of windows open. The house was sweltering a few days ago…
I definitely feel ya on the heat part. XD
Best comic EVER!:D
Hello. May I ask your age, where you learn your trade, and and when did you start drawing?
I’m 33, I learned from home and I started drawing “seriously” roughly 13 years ago. Most of my development has happened in the last 3 years.
wow, i tought you were mid 20s, o.o awsome :3
If its not to much trouble, could you go into detail on that development that you had in the last 3 years? I started to draw around a month ago in hopes to do something similar to your comic and the zoophobia comic from Vivienne Medrano
Are you planning to add a TopWebComics button/link on here. I would love to vote for this comic, cause it is awesome. Also could you add a page to this site that links to other web-comics, it would raise the sites Google rank, also sites would also link back to you in return.
At the moment, I’m not sure what I’ll be doing with the site, it’s kinda on the backburner. I might end up paying someone to finish setting it up though :p In the meantime, it’s mostly just for easy archiving and reading of the comic for y’all.
cool!. I’m Swedish, so we are pretty close XD. Btw. I love ur comic. Keep doin’ what u are doin’, you have my support. When do you uppload the next page?
Every sunday. 🙂
Hi Feretta. u said that you can speak Sweidsh and Norwegian on a comment. are you from scandinavia? if so, from what country.
Norway, as it happens.

Hey feretta, I’ve been trying to contact you through your email regarding my blocked IP contact@feretta.net but yahoo email says that email doesn’t exist. Any suggestions?
Weird.. I’ll look into that. In the meantime, your IP seems fine? 😀
How many times a week do you update? I haven’t seen anything anywhere that says when you update.
Every sunday. 🙂
art take that long, or does life get in the way? not that im complaining, i really like the art, its just that other webcomic artists, well, they do update around twice a week…
Yeah, but other webcomic artists generally simplify their pages, I go out of my way to increase complexity and visual looks. Plus a full time job and multiple side projects. And it’s not like I get paid to do this, I do it ‘cuz I love it 🙂
ah. thanks.
Okay, email works now. Terrible hosting service, honestly. :p
A lil silly question…not sure if it had been asked… do you speak spanish?
No, no hacienda de la spaniard. (No, I most definitely do not speak spanish. Norwegian, swedish, danish, english, german, some japanese and a bit of french though.)
Ohh I tought for the name of fenfen
But im actually amazed I strugle with spanish and english
Heyo, I wanted to send you a email of business-esque inquiry. Don’t know where to ask, and the email on your wordpress doesn’t work. If you want I can supply you with mine if you do not feel comfortable with openly sharing your email :3

Hi! Sorry, I sporadically check comments and sometimes it doesn’t register new ones. ‘sup? 🙂
When will the next post be? I’m getting anxious…
