unsounded

Frolicking puppies and babies. This is like the weirdest Hallmark card ever.

13_20

Waterwomen like Minnow have an interesting structure between their eyes that acts like sonar, letting them "see" and communicate with each other in the darkest of waters. Works well as a disgusting wet zombie detector too.

I had a blast in Seattle and at ECCC. I didn't get to meet all the cool people I met last year but I did ...

In the script, originally the masked lizard taunted Lady Rilursa with: "You're no innocent," but I decided I liked it better silent. We all know - thanks to Beadman and other things we've seen - that these two-toes have no reason to show mercy to any humans they come across. They were certainly coerced into this by Frummagem but...

13_18

If you'll recall at the beginning of this scene, a pair of two-toes were being threatened by a human tough to "finish a job." We can assume this was it. I would say their reticence probably had more to do with the risks involved than any guilt towards the targets. There's a lot of bad blood between Cresce and the lizards.

I li...

Lots of handsome figures in the middle scene. I think there's something particularly creepy about the shirtless pot-bellied dude just staring at the guards and getting rained on. And he's not even one of the attackers! Just never go to Sharteshane, it is only full of bad things.

Trivia: Knife-waif will show up in the comic aga...

Things are happening. Few of them good.

13_15

Sorry, Beadman, but your lawyer friend is super, super dead. And Nary is as careless as ever.

13_14

I love writing Beadman's dialogue. Everything is sleaze.

13_13

Of course Nary Frummagem makes his first contemporary appearance in the comic on 13_13. Da, stop being creepy.

13_12

I hope the panel of Beadman making Two-toe hands brings you the same delight it brought to me.

13_11

Not the most interesting artwork in the world. It was nice to have a break and just draw talking heads for a while though :3 I had mad fun with the dialogue all throughout this scene. Shartes don't stand on ceremony for anyone and in general I love writing sinister, snarky, shitty conversations between people who don't like each...

Pre-thumbnail poses

Someone on tumblr asked how much planning I do for scenes, and I thought some people might be interested in seeing my gesture drawings? Usually before I start thumbnailing a scene I'll quickly sketch from the script like this, see if anything catches my eye. There's a scene I'm working on now where Sette goes full bloodhound and...

Oh, what a delightful man!

This page contains a BJ and a child pooping in the street and aren't you really glad we're not going to be spending any more time than necessary in Sharteshane?

13_08

This is a good page for a high-res view, especially the bottom panel. I don't think I'd ever want to live in Sharteshane, but they do have pretty unhindered access to all Kasslyne's most iconic features, like saddlehounds, plods, starflies, Two-toes, and Beadman's Better Pymarics. Colourfully diverse population too. Just don't t...

13_07

So Siya and her sister Sara are destined for two very different lives.

13_06

Quigley liked that one. See? He has a sense of humour. Have a good weekend, everyone!

13_05

Lots of dialogue on this page, didn't want to stretch this scene out too long when there's more interesting stuff ahead. Or at least -I- think it's interesting, I fully expect to be face-stomped.

It was very important to me that something comfort Matty when everyone else is otherwise ignoring how upset he is over Uaid :/ God b...

13_04

Jivi, you're outnumbered. Run.

13_03

The shrine was a lot of fun to design. I wanted it to look homey even though there are skulls on the walls and it's a place a lot of people have been coming for a long time to worship. Welcoming but also eerie.

13_02

Minnow, please, pull yourself together.

Thanks for all the well wishes last update, guys :) And thanks for sticking around! We're going to go see what our heroes are up to inside the giant ominous shrine building next page.

Let updates resume!

I did a longer write-up with some housekeeping over on the site if you're interested - tl;dr Fanworks contest extended one month, volumes 1 & 3 in the shop, update blog and comments now powered by tumblr, and a 2018-01-15 03:49:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Uncle Lemuel's the best

Hail the Conquering Heroes

They've been gone a few months. Duane is not feeling celebratory and just wants to see Leysa and the kids. Lemuel's spotted a few cute girls in the crowd and woo, come by later and meet my vliegeng.  Doggos aren't entirely sure what's going on but they're cool with it.

This was my last KS commission. Thanks Cassie!

Pymary Lesson

Another Kickstarter commission. The request was for Duane giving Mikaila a pymary lesson. Alas, never got to happen in reality but it's a pleasant thing to think about!

Merry Christmas! (and I ain't lion)

Here's hoping for a bright 2018 <3

Christmas means carnage

Christmas card sketch. Kind of a simple one this year because I'm swamped but I'm a sucker for the holidays. I had to do something o_o I'll colour this up and post it shortly.

1 month 'til updates resume, lovelies. I hope everyone is having a relatively stress-free December (ha ha ha ha...)

Elka!

Someone chose a "smug, badass" Elka for their Kickstarter commission. Such houndsmanship.

Bonus Comic

Happy Halloween, ghouls and ghosts!

The second print volume is a while off from being reprinted so I thought I'd upload the bonus comic here for anyone who's never seen it. This was inspired by chatter on the ancient Unsounded Formspring Q&A, and gives a peek at what Sette's hometown looks like.

Some fun facts... 2017-11-01 04:00:31 +0000 UTC View Post

12_100&101

Two pages today, and that's a wrap for chapter 12!

You'll find a longer write up over on the main site, along with a preview of chapter 13, but anyone who's been reading for a while knows I always take a posting break in-between chapters. Now's that time. 2017-10-20 01:36:25 +0000 UTC View Post
