Sometimes I think the more we've seen, the less we see.

This page may possibly contain a Lilo and Stitch reference.

Matty's usually pretty chipper and ready to chat, but he's not really keen on talking to a stranger about his mom's murder. Jivi senses that right off and lets him off the hook, which was pretty intui...

I dunno, I think fish stew sounds pretty scrumptious. Be more grateful, twerps.

This page took a while to do - lots of detail - but I really wanted to set the rest of this scene up well and make the...

13_48

This page features at least four separate flavours of creepy - something for everyone!

Dinner procession? Whose dinner? Who's dinner?! Duane, leave 'em alone!

There are so many characters in this scene, it was fun and also difficult to make everyone distinct ...

13_46

Why is there a dead waterbaby in a tank in the shrine mistress' office? Interesting choice of decor. All it does is remind Duane very violently that Cresce is a nightmare, and it should be exposed to ...

13_45

Mistress Lori - Iori Ripa's sister - is in charge of the whole of Litriya Shrine, and this little cubbyhole in her office has a few details that say a lot about her for anyone who cares to look.

I t...

13_44

Sette with her nose pressed against the door is my favourite thing.

13_43

Wanted a bit of moody atmosphere to help segue to a more serious tone. Litriya Shrine is normally a bustling little place full of local farmers and river fishers praying to the idols, seeking blessing...

13_42

Ruffles is easily excitable. Hasn't been a whole lot going on stuck in this island shrine!

13_40&41

Two pages! The urge to draw Duane just scooping Ruffles up like a baby-doll was almost irresistible; I compromised with stick-fighting. But lemme say that getting the both of them in one frame is an e...

13_39

Duane is not very stealthy.

13_38

Sette's little vision of Starfish is pretty gross if you look too closely. I'm not sure what wigged her out more about that entire night: Starfish almost getting the best of her or all the pain babies...

13_37

Sette thought the baubles in the wall were of value but alas - only glass. Ruffles is a good catch though.

13_36

Sette hasn't gotten to cut loose and feed her inner greed in a while. Steal it all, girl. That better not be wine in that bottle though.

Roger's hand

This was a gif I made to test how the disintegration frames animated while I was working on them. I'm really fond of this little javascript trick - it's very simple but the fact that the reader advanc...

13_34&35

Please pop over to the site for this update - the javascript isn't something I can really replica...

13_33

Ahh, so perhaps Roger is not an ignorant victim of this but a willing - if miserable - volunteer. And perhaps Queen Sonorie is not the conscienceless wretch Alderode (and Duane) have painted her as. H...

I would suggest, your Majesty, that it might be a good idea to send the Black Tongues a strongly worded postcard asking that they never let Ruckmearkha get his weird three-fingered hands on dat knife....

13_31

TFW you think you've met a rare, rational spiderpaw and she still refuses to see how much happier she'd be if she didn't have a head full of regrets.

13_30

I think Ruckmearkha looks best in really warm light like this; I intentionally lit both the last scene with him in the office and this scene in  fiercely orange light. Put him in natural lighting...

13_29

I like that shot of Ruckmearkha. He looks spooky.

13_28

Couldn't get the idea of a history book with teeth out of my head. Imagine reading the whole history of your family in one; so many people fighting the same battles for so long, and to what end? I kno...

13_27

I'm sure Duane will be on his best behaviour inside the shrine. In spite of his protests I don't think he has much choice but to help Minnow and the water tarts out though, not if he wants to head aft...

13_26

Glimpse the tiny Knock-Me-Down? I'm sure everyone inside is just fine and they are playing raucous road games as they travel. I spy something red~

13_25

Poor ugly Duane. I think his philosophy on the matter is a.... reasonably healthy one though?

13_24

Minnow's dialogue was an interesting challenge. She speaks perfectly fluent Continental - standard west Crescian accent - but she hasn't had a conversation with a human in probably forty years so she ...

I had a hard time finding a good, boobless crop of this page to use as a preview image for Twitter :3

Trivia: Duane's not pulling his hood closer because he's afraid she'll see what he is (she's alr...

You know, you wouldn't think it would be very hard to draw someone with the wrong hand on their arm, but it's actually really, really hard! It goes against all your instincts! I don't know ho...
