I tried to only use Tainish that's already been translated and posted elsewhere, but for the curious:

Fhen ssomun shenut - It's all right.
ssachig - A fool
fe fe - An expression of dismissal, ...

I posted this over on the website as well:
 

I was going to post this page tonight and then go on an uncomfortably long hiatus in order to work on the third print volume but... I can't do it...

12_67

Great excuse for forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, errands, anything really. "Some blighter with a brain-cutting knife stuck me and I forgot to pick up groceries, it's not my fault at all."

RuckXBastion nsfw

I had a big clamour over on Tumblr for some Ruck and Bastion cheesecake art, so I obliged. Just download the attached image. This scene is violent rape, please do not look at it if that is too intense...

12_66

I'm waiting for someone to complain about the blood spatters disappearing from Bastion's face. We all know why they're gone, right? :)

12_64 and 12_65

The print version of 64 shows off more of that first panel, without cutting off Maur and the other shocked Black Tongues. I like the border breaking on the site version too though; it's a nice oomph. ...

12_63

Patreon changed stuff, this is weird D:

I have to say I greatly enjoy the turnaround here. Bastion's set up to be the villain - and he most certainly is an antagonist to Duane and Sette, and not a n...

12_62

Lots of cut dialogue on this page. Originally I had Bastion interrupt Darkest's threat with "CANNIER and BETTER DRESSED?!" but mechanically he really needed to be casting his spell there, boo. I also ...

12_61

Man, that fifth panel really freaks me out. I had to keep a Photoshop palette over it as I was working, it was giving me the heebies so bad. 

Anyway, I found it odd that I didn't see a single p...

I like Simon's little vliegeng pennant.

A few interesting tidbits about tiddybird. She's not trapped in the khert because she can't get out but because she'll die if she leaves. Rough deal.

12_59

I'm fond of this page, the dialogue amuses me. Ruck has a very stilted way of speaking. He wants to sound very personable and... person-y... but does not quite have the knack. Efheby spend long decade...

So long, Master Ballanstern, we never knew ye.

He was not a nice dude, shed no tears.

Ruck is sooooo fun to draw. He's got a lot of doohickeys all over him to keep track of and he's as hard to...

12_56&57

Two pages today. I've attached the static version of the second; you'll need to head to the site ...

12_55

There are regrets on this page; then fear; then a dire warning. Finally, an exploding piano.

V3 Kickstarter ends at 18:00EST

Just a heads up for anyone interested!

12_54

This is the print version of this page. If you'd like to see the animated version, you'll have to vie...

12_53

Maur is a very transparent, honest, loving sort, and was a grand friend to Bastion and Rahm when they both were in residence there in Juste. He's been a little lonely since the clique broke up, and is...

12_52

Bastion can never decide if he's a raven or a peacock.

12_51

You can't take Crescians or Alds anywhere.

12_50

I had mad fun with this scene. See the plod with the serving tray of champagne glasses? The birds nests everywhere? Stupid Darkest Paul who is impressing no one?

I bet you thought the Black Tongues ...

12_49

Our characters have such warm and happy memories!

We're still in Juste (the Black Tongues' lair) at the end, just in time to spy on a fundraising event. You might remember Maur from the short story ...

12_48

Bastion's about 16 here and looking a little younger in his exuberance. He was not a bad kid, but definitely fell into a bad crowd. It's a long story.

Getting stuck apprenticed to Thierry Delicieu w...

A friend was fortuitously playing Bloodborne while I drew this page, which really helped tune me into the mad scientist vibe. We'll briefly go back twenty-five years into the past on the next page. Th...

12_46

Juste is a pretty weird place.  It's the kind of uncomfortable environment that people who have given up most of their appreciation for the natural world might design. There are no trees, no gree...

12_45

My favourite part of this page is the poster of the Aldish vliegeng rider about to put a baby to the sword. Subtle, Cresce, very subtle.

Minnow (nsfw)

Had to do a quickie of my freaky fish lady for Mer-May month.

12_44

Now onto probably my favourite scene this chapter. We've heard a lot of talk of the Black Tongues but what's the group really like? What're they up to? Let us accompany Lord Winalils on a visit.

12_43

So many people thought Quigley was gonna kill her, but that wasn't his intention at all. He just wanted to show her off to Matty, and posture a bit. Killing an ancient senet beast isn't something anyo...

Uaid is a construct of many talents. Well, a few talents. Vienne intended him to have a lot more capabilities, but died before she could implement them all. Uaid was always meant to largely serve as a...
