Kinda rude, Duane. They'd called dibs on those corpses.

I saw some interesting speculation that Sette might flip out at the waterwomen since she's said they drowned her mother when she was an infant, but she doesn't have any memories of that, nor any drive...

Kickstarter 3 is Live!

Guys. Guys, here is the thing.  You get first crack at the limited stuff, I won't d...

My favourite thing on this page is the tiny water child gnawing the dead soldier's shoe.  It rides a creepy/cute line that invigorates my soul.

Volume 1 Copies

I stumbled upon exactly four copies of the first print volume that I didn't know I had, so if you've been waiting for one, snatch it up now in the 2017-04-19 18:34:26 +0000 UTC View Post

I enjoy how Aldish Duane is on the left, the neutral Quigleys and Uaid are in the middle, Crescian Jivi is on the far right, and indifferent Sette is not on the page at all.  Subtextual layouts a...

Some of the word balloons are definitely of uncertain origins in the upper half of this page but I was having so much fun drawing the carnage I couldn't make myself zoom in, ahaha, I have problems.

We're gettin' there!

Volume 3 cover. I left the sigil off Lady's bill but I might go back and add it. She's probably large enough to need at least the hint of it on the shadowed side.

I went and reread the three pertine...

Jivi's none too subtle here, but Sette hasn't given him many reasons to be kind. Luckily karma repays him with bloated corpses.

JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!

I think I'm going to have to only post one page next week, on Monday. There's no way in the world I'll make my self-imposed Kickstarter deadline if I don't dedicate a few days to i...

Uaid and Matty are so happy on this page I don't even have words.

Meet Minnow: a waterwoman , a senet beast, an admirer of giant green feet. She hadn't seen a mountain ogre in centuries and, for a moment, thought Uaid was some kind of impossible survivor of the grea...

There's something so profane and wrong about Karl putting that barrette in her hair, but it popped up in my head years ago and wouldn't leave.  Cloying acts like that are so gross, so fake, and w...

There are a few details on this page that you may one day look back on and moan, "Ohhhh," at. I can't imagine they'd stir too much suspicion at the moment though.

At least Karl's having a good time....

Bell's obviously a man with very traditional and somewhat understandable Crescian biases against Alderode but he doesn't seem like a megalomaniac or a strictly evil, insane person. When you learn that...

I kind of love and hate Emne's home. I don't think I could sleep there, too pink. Can you imagine Captain Toma perched on that couch though? Trying to read a book in that sitting room? Entertaining gu...

This'll be a pretty brief scene so we don't have to spend too long away from our main cast, but I had a lot of fun showing Cresce proper. Ethelmik was such a dinky bordertown, far away from the heart ...

I almost don't think Quigley's Tainish requires a translation.

12_26

In the original script, Jivi was so startled by Duane's hand on his shoulder that he instinctively punched him in the face. I decided to shorten this scene way up - next page ends it - and so it was r...

I gave myself a lot of challenging angles  on this page. It's always fun to think up strategies for laying out conversations that keep your eye moving around in interesting ways. It's fun to let ...

12_24

It's fun to draw Uaid's interior all slovenly and kinda trashed. There are definitely a bunch of slobs squatting in there. Jivi is probably the tidiest of the bunch - he nagged Matty about cleaning up...

12_22 & 23

I thought this was a pretty fun way to segue from the khert back to reality - and apt commentary about how positively powerless and played Duane may be feeling at the moment - but I am convinced peopl...

With this page I have to go on haitus until March 10! Sorry, guys. I'm headed out of town and won't have access to my work computer. I WILL be taking drawing materials and my laptop however, so I can ...

Wandering Roots! Old friends! The fluffy cloud whales also bring me joy. I just all around like that middle shot of Olde Kasslyne.

12_19

I find this sort of musing very enjoyable to write, but I always worry that it makes readers restless. I think it's important to witness Duane reflecting on what he's seen and applying the philosophy ...

It had been a while since I'd gotten to paint the khert, so I luxuriated in it for a while in that third panel.

Just a head's up but I'll be out of town for a week starting next Wednesday, so I won'...

Gratuitous grossness! You get to really see the yech.

That last panel was a lot of fun to do but if you didn't know the bits poking out of his top were thorny silver vines you might think they were assymmetrical and very prominent nipples. I noticed that...

Lemuel doesn't look terribly convinced of what he's saying. Our new Black Tongue friend's pretty passionate though!

12_14

I rather like that Hero Shot of Duane in the fifth panel. He's very much the haughty warrior of God on this page, a role I imagine he quite misses.
