unsounded

And we're back!

This is the last chapter of Book 1 (I mean it this time!) and starts right where we left off - in the thick of things. If you'll recall, Karl here had a little freak-out and tried to go for Queen Sonorie. She very mercifully had him hauled off rather than beheaded right there in front of her (to be fair, she's wearing almos...

Unsounded pins!

SOLD OUT! With one person on the waiting list. Thanks everyone!

Hey readers! I've been promising to make these available for a while and here we are. I have exactly 12 sets of these Squish and Smoke Eel pins left, and that is all. DM ME HERE on Patreon with your email address and location - a private message please, not a ...

Ch17 Script & Scribbles

As promised, here's the working script for Ch17 if you care to peruse it. It's not really coherent on its own, as it's ninety-five percent raw  dialogue with very little description or stage direction, as ...

An unconventional update, but I wanted that bizarre jump from a normal page to Se...

Wednesday's update will wrap up the chapter. Looks like we'll be doing one last fanart/fanfic contest over the break - anyone here think they'll enter?

17-168

Imagine standing all alone in the scary crackling blue-blackness with the memories of dead trauma wafting in the gale around you. And you volunteered to go somewhere even scarier to stop it all! Ech, Da, couldn't ya have asked for anything else.

17-167

No one gets outta this story that easy, red hat. Only a couple more pages left until chapter break~

17-165&166

I'm with Duane. Who didn't know this all along? Stupid Quigley thinking he's the first man in the world to fail at hating his kid just to spite his wife.

I like that panel of Duane grabbing his ribs.

17-164

Is it curious that Duane won't tell Sette about Mikaila? Why do you suppose he'd be keeping that to himself?

17-163

Shut up, Mathis.

17-162

I ran outta panels to show Jivi turning green and shaking Sette's snot off his hand after slapping it over her mouth. Picture it in your imagination and insert it in there pls.

17-161

Knock's bare feet amidst all that rubble make me extremely nervous but I think they are part of her final form. Probably she has calluses just as thick as Sette's from running around shoeless as a Sharte kid.

17-160

Elka did what she could for his arm while they were off-screen, but it's still on there. Just wrapped up tight against his body so it's not all floppin' around. Sick loot drop though. I'm sure the doggo cannon won't wind up malfunctioning in this fire or being haunted at the worst time.

17-159

Good thing he kept a snack for the kids, but Anadyne isn't going to satisfy them for long.

17-158

One of my favourite pages this chapter. I think everyone is a little bit right and also a little bit wrong, and those are the best kinds of arguments. They're not gonna keep at this, there's too much else going on, but keep it in mind when they're alone again.

Sessine/Bastion painplay

Originally posted on Tumblr in response to an Ask about their physical relationship.

Pain cut through him, and Bastion opened his eyes. He jerked a hand to the torc around his neck. The silver ring on his right index finger clinked against it with a sad little report, like a blind child rattling an alms box.

“What do ...

17-157

I think Quigley can take 'em.

17-156

Things to notice: She's gripping Duane's amulet because she KNOWS he's otherwise gonna forbid this.

She doesn't want Boo fussing over her sliced up hands. 

Where dat bird going.

Duane hongry, cross, and glitchy.

17-155

Of course Bastion signs his work. Of course he also likes to know when someone's messing with it.

How nice is Jivi though? I wouldn't be touching that business, especially since Duane glows like a radioactive wristwatch when he's not feeling well.

17-154

There are a lot of fun little details on this page. The fire's strong enough and the ghosts are pissed enough that they can start just making monsters outta broken pavement. Pipe teeth!

Duane seems to be in a bad way unfortunately. Never good when anyone's floating in space like a model that loaded in wrong.

17-153

For not the first time, Cutter loses control of his little friends. Long ago, Knock accused him of being afraid to be alone with them. For good reason, I think. Being alone with your pain can lead to bad outcomes.

Also, whose hand dat is

Back to Sette next page, and our last scene of the chapter.

17-152

The nursery rhyme here is echoing the stained glass windows in Rahm Ripa's house, which visually made the same warning so long ago. Lady Ilganyag's reputation ain't great among two-toes nor among humans.

17-151

Quigley makes me laugh >_<

17-150

Well, it took you long enough to catch up, woman. Being exploded is no excuse.

17-147-149

Decided to go ahead and do three pages, then just skip the whole of next week. It's Fourth of July anyway, and I'm watching my brother's two dogs while they do some fancy Caribbean cruise.

In the script, it was one of Sette's little pain baby friends who flicked the mic switch, and Toma just grabbed a piece of floating rock to use as a clu...

We shall conclude this matter on Friday with two pages and two deaths. Put your money down now.

17-145

Not a lot of joy drawing this page. My dogs always had hip problems towards the end of their days, and thinking back on how they'd scoot around on their forelegs trying to stand up wasn't a good time. Dogs are too perfect.

An announcement! I did some retooling this weekend of the rest of our tale, and I decided to end this chapter after o...

17-143&144

Included a tiny panel that got edited out of the second page.

17-142

I love the little teeth peeping from Sette's gory hand. They're a really weird feature and skirt the periphery of body horror, if you ask me. I can't wait to draw them more now that they've finally broken skin.

Anyway, is Quigley gonna lose his head? Place your bets now!

17-141

Thinking about doing a page dump for the rest of this scene, but it would require a few weeks' hiatus afterwards. Won't be this week, but might be next week. I'll keep you posted!
