Cutter, everyone is sick of your crap.

It was fun to draw a two-toe fighting competently though, most of the fights we've seen have been so one-sided. We'll see more Blue, he has narrative staying power and a cool spear.

Posting this a page at a time is killing me, haha... Promise me you'll go back and reread the whole chapter at once after it's all posted <3

And we’re back! Of course it’s a scene change, I wasn’t going to pause mid-scene! Don’t be sad. We have not seen the last of that lion.

When last we left our heroes, Duane had teamed with Toma and Elka in pursuit of the genocidal First Silver weapon terrorizing Cresce and making for his homeland. Its master, the maniacal lizard Cut...

Postcard Art!

These were postcards I made for the first two Kickstarters years ago. Some of them featured canon messages written by the characters, so I thought it was time to make them available somewhere online. I remember I had a lot of fun designing postage stamps for the different countries, and trying to give the guys handwriting that reflected their pe...

A challenger appears! A bit late in the story for a new character but... maybe we know who this is, actually? Maybe we've even seen him before?

I'm going to take a mini break to buff up the buffer and make sure I'm not getting sloppy with this end game stuff, but I'll be hanging out in Discord at the same time if you want to chat. I know T...

Your services are needed once again, Mr. Koph.

Sette, whatcha gonna do?

17-104

Didja really think you were going to get a free kiss, Jivi? Even in the name of platonic science?

17-103

Sette is so normal she should be given an award for being the MOST normal.

Going forward now we get to play the game of "How often will Ashley forget to draw the wrappings on Sette's hands?" Get your bets in now, start counting panels.

17-101&102

Two pages today. Hard to wake a Sharteshanian up with violence but kindness? That might do.

17-100

Hundredth page! Oh, that very special day every young woman dreams about, when retractable supernatural bone spurs finally erupt from the palms of her hands so she can manipulate the metaphysical materials that underpin her world. Send pie, not flowers.

17-99

A familiar face..? Jivi is going to have a mental breakdown.

17-98

Sette hasn't gotten this far in life by being so easily manipulated. She's a Sharteshanian and a Frummagem. Whatever *else* she may be, she's not going to be made to do anything she doesn't feel like doing. That includes helping, fighting, remembering, and mourning.

I know this is all frustratingly vague, but we're getting there.

17-97

They just wanted a conversation, Sette. They're just really bad at asking for attention without, you know, inadvertently drawing out all of your absolutely worst days. Hard life being a concentrated manifestation of the worst memories in the universe.

17-96

Not the happiest interaction but the memory of it drives Sette to keep trying to grow into something that'll make Da happy, so he'll never think about doing this again.

No doubt Nary is a piece of work but he's always really interested me. There is something in him that pushes back so hard against what he was born into. He doesn't necessar...

17-95

Betailed newborn Sette is pretty squishable in that ugly infant way, no lie.

17-94

We don't get to see the rest of that first memory. Sette ripped out the ending. I have to admit I envy her that ability sometimes. Anything you'd rip out forever?

17-93

Get away from there, pain babies! You nosy bastards, get outta there!

(None of these strange characters are important, nor have you met them before. Just go with the flow.)

17-91&92

Two pages today! We're going to go ahead and dive tail-first into the Strangeness that is Sette Frummagem. I know the temptation to ask for clarification is going to be strong, but she is a muddy mess, and we must respect that mess. Even she doesn't really understand why she is the way she is.

17-90

It was fun to draw Sara again~ Sette squashed it all down so deep she hasn't even give me much of a chance to draw spooky flashback Saras much.

17-89

Sette probably more rattled than she's been in the entire comic. She didn't take well to unStarfish blurting all her business into the naked air like that. It's her personal business!

17-88

It's been very easy to overlook our wee betailed, ostensible deuteragonist as the stormcloud that is Duane has blown and roared across the page. It's been even easier for Duane to do it. He's never really given her a second thought... and the minute he perhaps began to, what happens but his old demons explode back into his life. Kinda convenient...

17-87

Anadyne has never looked better.

17-86

Ana's okay now, boss, only needed a brief lie-down.

This scene's just the worst for our webcomic format! It should be a frenetic rush of confusion, not broken down into these individual pages. Drives me nuts! :3

17-85

Cutter is being terribly gabby here. If you have a good understanding of the behaviour of villains, you might have worked out that he's stalling! The best way to distract Duane is with a good melodramatic exchange of words. So well done, little inak!

Additionally, if it's no longer important that Duane continue to trust Lady Ilganyag... u...

17-84

Cutter recognises the climaxing score, the hero returned with newfound character growth and self-awareness, dwindling pages left in an ever-thinning script. How many lines left? Surely not much time remaining for the villain of the piece.

17-82&83

Two pages today! I ran out of time to fix that first one. I really wanted to redraw the explosion panels, they don't read at all. Add it to the list of things to fix for the final draft! :)

17-81

Duane, don't fuck with the man by comparing him to a food item please. You're supposed to be teamworking and you still owe the good Captain an apology for treating him like a Snickers bar earlier.

17-80

Good high res page. Look at them fighting together! Warms the cockles of the heart, it does. Something is missing though...

17-79

Imagine how miserably poignant this would be if Toma actually was dead like so many people think. Stay alive, Captain!
