That last panel took a long time. The contraptions in the distance are Crescian Firelopers. They're the fiercest construct tech on the continent right now, built both to decimate land forces and to pi...

Aww, Elka really does care.

If I could draw your attention to the enemy hounds in the last panel, they are Kickstarter cameos! They're two dogs (one deceased, alas) that belong to a great suppor...

These poor kids are looking pretty battle-damaged.

Woah, sorry about that. Bit of a brain-fart last night and forgot to post the HD page here! This chapter's about to take a violent turn, so I hope you enjoyed the peaceful interlude while it lasted :)...

I've always loved drawing Bastion's teleporty ink line, it reminds me of those old Family Circus panels. Before Unsounded I only drew it in b/w comics - you can see an example on dA - but left black, ...

Flattery gets you nowhere with Iori, cut the crap.

11_37

Sette is most attractive heroine. Also I think Jivi is feeling a little guilty over being so suspicious and rude to Iori, so now he has to leap to the defence of even her turtle bacon.

11_35&36

I really like Iori and how her attitude towards losing her son clashes so starkly with Duane's towards losing Mikaila (and Rahm's towards the same loss, though we haven't seen how he deals with it yet...

My big challenge with the Ripas here and also on some of the later pages this chapter, was to suggest subtext that's never explicitly spelled out in the story. So you get a broad sense of what happene...

Thank you so much for the support this month!

We'll cut inside to Iori and the kids next page. I'm very fond of the upcoming scene but things can't stay this idyllic for long.

Additionally, Uaid is wading :3 See Uaid wade. Wade, Uaid, wade!...

Tumbler!

This is kind of a self-indulgent item. You guys hardly know Lord Winalils at all yet, and this artwork itself is pretty gloomy and glum, haha, but I wanted to make myself something I'd personally want...

Ethelmik is a pretty town, when it's not on fire or bleeding smoke eels.

I'm actually pretty excited to finally get to some water. I love drawing water and watery landscapes, and the next part o...

My favourite page this chapter :3 So fun to do!

Megacon Mug Design

Maybe?

I really enjoy drawing Iori's backyard. Can you imagine living right up against a river? And then she had two kids there? I decided she'd insist on it being all fenced off. And then she's got her litt...

Oh, Quigley. You bring out the dickishness in everyone. It's like your special ability!

11_28

The centre panel was a lot of fun. Since Chitz works via a sort of khert-driven sonar, First Materials are invisible to Matty. Khert-lines don't intersect them, so any First Materials just come up as ...

11_27

Right about here I realised how long this scene was running and started trying to cram as many panels on the page as I could, haha. This was another conversation that had about two-thirds trimmed out ...

11_26

Sette's such a little troll. I'd be pretty damn scared of Duane too.

11_25

Duane and Sette's conversation is almost twice as long in the script, and necessitated a lot of paring down for the comic. There was a lot of lore dump that, while interesting, wasn't ultimately neces...

Sometimes admitting your ignorance and accepting it is the most liberating of all courses. Throw off the shackles of certainty! They were delusions all along, you know.

11_23

This version is slightly different from the one on the site. I zoomed in on the Sette and Starfish panel more there.

I like how eager Duane is to return to the topic of the silver an...

11_22

The red panel was interesting to do. In the figures of the ghost babies I tried to represent a lot of the specific suffering that happened last chapter. See if you can pick some of it out and match it...

11_21

Duane's going to end up with fleas if he doesn't keep his hands off her head. Or Sette's going to wind up with flies. Just, there's going to be an exchange of insects if this intimacy persists.

Duane, your journal is full of naked monster girls, this does not befit a man of God.

11_19

I would say Sette has a pretty good idea there about exploring the khert for answers. It will be a bit like clicking around the internet without any search engine, but he's bound to come up with a few...

11_18

I think as a scrivener/scribe, Duane must be a steady draftsman; competent, at least. His journals have to be full of scribblings of the odd things he's seen over the years.

Anyway, I enjoy his ...

Drawing that spine panel was rather a lot of fun. Duane's got a handsome spine.
