unsounded

I do believe this is the first time Quigley has ever called Duane by name. I mean I could be wrong and I didn't go back through 1000+ pages of comic to check, but it feels like it's the first time. Usually he refers to him as some colourful and dehumanizing insult :3

I think Sette has a point about wrights and their excuses. Just Core Leech everything you useless bastards! Who cares if that asplodes the world! That would be cool to see! BSOD REALITY!

17-14

Now kiss!

17-13

Quigley, don't just stand there in the background brooding. Contribute!

17-12

What do you imagine that thing smells like?

One good thing about eels that have gone solid enough to grab people is that they're solid enough to be grabbed in turn~

Karl Toma, quit it! You'll make everyone love you too much!

Karl is so thoroughly unlikable. He's got his Lordship and his marriage so the mask is off.

My neighbour was throwing away an old monitor so I got an upgrade! I installed it vertical though - the better for displaying comic book pages - and all day it's felt **weird**

There are a lot of small things to notice on this page, but they are for the astute reader to pick out. Generally though, the mayor makes me lau...

I know they're not anything exciting but I had fun with these panels! I wanna go to this party! The Queen arrives like a bamf next page.

In the same way that the giant femur in Grenzlan is their local khert hub, the giant green spine here is Port Morstorben's. It is the fulcrum of quite a bit of our upcoming drama, and possibly the reason Cutter has brought us all to this specific port city.

Lemuel's never forgotten the ferocity and the gross suicidal stupidity he saw in those driven by the Etalarche curse. He understands and appreciates it better than his CO here, but doesn't have much hope of convincing him of it. The Ssaelit and Soud (blonde caste) are in some dire straits at home. This whole mission was meant...

Are the Alds the baddies? Could be. Lemuel still needs a few squirts of Visine.

This page took ages to do. See, I wasn't slacking during the hiatus! Anything military-related is always a chore since you want the scale of things to look impressive and realistic.

But here you can see where the courtyard and part of the building collapsed when the Alds broke into the city via the old tunnels. This is...

Travel mug & coffee cups

SOLD OUT FOR NOW, THANKS!

Hey guys! I was cleaning out my convention stuff, and I have one last black travel mug available if someone would like to claim it. It's 30USD shipping included (US only), and has this design on it. First person to comment gets it.

This is a good page to see in high-rez~

Our tale thus far has spoken here and there of this Grenzlan city. It's a Crescian border town that's found itself conquered and recently occupied by an unexpected Aldish invasion facilitated by the old Foi-Hellick tunnels. Alds have been able to use the town to stage vliegeng rai...

Oof, I guess Patreon did a redesign during the break. This seems fine... Textbox is still laggy. Great work, guys.

Anyway, we're back! Just the cover page today. Chapter 17 goes hard but it's a little more straightforward than 16. We got some people to rescue and we're gonna get to it. I'll do a little story recap on Mo...

Soon

Less than a month left until chapter 17 starts. Make sure you get your fanworks entry in before the deadline! <3

Ch16 script and scribbles

As promised, here's the working script from chapter 16 - It's not really coherent on its own, as it's ninety-five percent raw dialogue with very little description or stage direction, as it ...

16_160 & ch17 preview

And that's a wrap for 16.

I went back and forth on Starfish's ah... final form? Originally I wanted him perched backwards - ass first - with his head twisted 180 degrees, symbolizing how his undeath is a refusal to move forward to a new life/reincarnation... but! I couldn't get it to look right. Instead I took his legs,...

That last panel's a Mood. A Sushi Wednesday Mood when yasai rolls are only three bucks at my local joint and I eat like, three.

16_158

Two more pages left of this chapter! Can you believe I haven't even started drawing 17? Instead I've been intensely focusing on the script trying to make it as tight and punchy as I can, while also giving a satisfying amount of page time to all our players. There are a lot of characters we won't see again after 17, and I want...

Don't smack talk the Silver when you're this close to it; it can probably hear you!

16_156

Nothing good happened here.

16_154&155

Two pages today. I think Duane has levelled up and finally learned the destructive power of brevity. Punches have their place but sometimes it's more productive to offer an open hand rather than a fist.

Elka had really liked him. She thought he was different from your usual Ald. But turns out she'd liked the character in the play, not the actual man. Unspeakably disappointing.

16_152

I know Quigley is a contentious character, but he really is one of my favourites. He's super real to me. Have you ever been so depressed that you started to loathe people who love you because it feels like they're chaining you to an existence you're desperate to escape?

16_151

Anyone wanna guess what Quigs is referencing in the final panel? You'll only know if you read the "Orphans" short story.

16_150

Too busy to be sad. Too much going on! Best to think about it all later, if then.

16_149

To think Nary let someone as wise as Knock exit his employment. The fool. The absolute clown.
