I have three of these left and then that's all she wrote. Comment here with your email address if you'd like one! 30USD, shipping included, US only.

So that's why they call them a murder...

I developed new respect for zombie comic artists after this scene. Drawing all those ravenous crowds gets really old really fast.

"Len paesabi" is "forgive me." Mikaila feeling pretty nonplussed. There was never going to be a way to fit in here.

We won't be seeing her again this chapter. Safe travels, Golden Delight. Keep your glamour on, even if your genderbent equivalent tends to look like your dorky dead teenage dad o/

Cheeky Miki. I like drawing all her ugly faces.

17-42

Lemuel didn't like the way his commanding officer spoke of Mikaila during their little uh, meeting? Rage session? back at the beginning of the chapter. He's getting her out of here before she can be blamed for anything else. See, he does think of her safety! Sometimes.

And poor Mason. He's full of resentment towards the both of them. His o...

The little birdie is animated on the site~

As goofy as Lemuel's curse callback is, it's also kind of horrifying how quickly it switches these poor bastards on. Is it funny that Lemuel uses it so flippantly, or kinda cruel and dehumanizing?

The script called for a full frontal shot in the eighth panel - I really wanted to rub the reader's face in it - but I'm always worried about getting in trouble with Paypal and Patreon, so I couldn't do it.

Little things to notice: The tree with the ropes and bloody gashes. Mikaila's carefully averted gaze (rather like Ufal's carefully ave...

Fluff of Duane and Jon lovin' on each other from chapter 14. This is not canon, just for fun. Don't click through if that's not for you~ http://www.casualvillain...

A rare silent page~

I debated whether to post here or not today. There won't be any update on the site proper until Friday at the earliest, but I thought my darling patrons deserved something to chew on until then.

I spent the weekend hurricane-prepping my place, hoping it would be a waste of time and the track would change, but Ian...

The Royal Grandmother didn't raise no fool.

We'll go to Grenzlan on Monday to see what the Black Tongues are doing. Paul has his doubts, but the Alds were hurt pretty bad at Litriya, and now are sending what's left after the Queen. That leaves their occupied town hella vulnerable, even if it does have two Adeliers in residence.

17-37

Ruck's always enjoyed his bagged lunches. Queen Sonorie did know that the Black Tongues were bringing Roger - she mentioned it earlier to the Mayor - but she kind of assumed they'd kindly deposit him somewhere quiet and safe and not here naked and drooling on the floor. Rude snek.

17-36

Everyone being very competent and motivated! Nice to have a scene that gets the plot moving, though Ruck doesn't take well to not being centre stage.

17-35

Lots and lots of characters on the next few pages. It was supremely difficult to stage all this, especially with the giant snakeman in the room. I think it works though! Also pls admire the Mayor's terrifying wall dolphins.

17-34

My favourite part of this page is Ruck putting his little hands up innocently in the last panel, even as he belittles the guard. The snake's just having a great day.

17-33

Maur is not about this at all. He doesn't destroy the body here because he doesn't like the idea of the boy's parents not being allowed to say goodbye to him and bury him. See, not all Black Tongues are evil. They're just... ya know. Eccentric.

17-32

The final panel is animated if you go scope it on the site - http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch17/ch17_32.html 

Someone called Ruckmearkha's name there, and the kids certainly don't know it, so maybe one of Ruck...

17-31

Hmm. That doesn't look like Chea's shadow in the last panel.

17-30

Just eat someone else, priestess, gawds! True believers are the worst; no wonder she's been receptive to Bell's grumbling.

17-29

We'll see some of these colourful nobles again later. I really like all the pages coming up but I'm kind of nervous about them too, haha. I'm always scared whenever the narrative goes too long without checking in on Sette or Duane, I know they're the favourites :)

17-28

Everyone is pigeonholing everyone on this page, which I enjoy. Pretty rotten to compare two-toes to dogs and zombies though.

17-27

It's been a while since we saw the Crescian government, but last time we did, succession woes were in the air~ The Queen's sister and next in line to the throne was assassinated by two-toes in Sharteshane a few weeks ago. Immediately afterwards, the ruling council of nobles withdrew their support for the Queen's back-up heir, suggesting she come...

I think some readers were expecting Ana to be more hang-dog and tormented in her new role, but Cutter wouldn't have chosen her if he hadn't recognised the capacity in her to HATE. It's always been there. It drove her to pursue pymary for the sake of violent enforcement, even if she was only ever mediocre at it. Now she has power to make herself ...

17-25

This page is a little gnarly, eat your breakfast first.

Anadyne tends to mope until she reaches her breaking point, and then she does indeed break, and sends pieces of herself flying off into everyone. Mood.

17-24

Our villains have been busy; and Anadyne is a growing girl.

These guys need a long working lunch to sort out their various tragedies, repressed memories, superpowers, and fratricidal family members; but there's just no room on the schedule for it today. Toma's got a deadline!

17-21&22

Two pages today.

Sette has exhibited some mighty strange behaviour in the past. Not only was she repeatedly really skittish around reminders of the twin sacrifice at Litriya, but she's shown off some weird abilities when it comes to pymary. From immediately turning a junked spider into a fearsome battle bot to usurping Quigley's Swarm, to ...

17-20

Whatcha gonna do, Sette? Slug 'em? Call 'em names? Give 'em the ol' knife in the nuts?

17-19

It's so hard to angst-out at length when you have not one, but TWO Sharteshanians in your party. They just don't tolerate it.

17-18

A very generous assessment from Duane. I don't think he has the stomach for his usual harsh condemnations, not anymore. Maybe later, after his Harsh Condemnations health bar has refilled.

17-17

Saving a little family is all well and sweet, but that's not going to be much of a dent in the misery sandwich that the First Silver is making itself.
