Ahh, so I miscalculated! I thought the rest of this scene was six pages and it's actually eight. So.It was great fun finally letting the lads meet up and spit bile at each other, though the more immediate threat of the silver monster keeps them from coming to blows or doing anything too terribly...
Q&A Questions and drawing ideas!
The crowd spoke and looks like Monday will definitely be a mega-update. During the two weeks after I'll add some more concept art here and also do another, more proper Q&A. A few people suggested just dubbing over a live-drawing video and that sounds like a good idea! So I need two things from y...

Cavalry to the rescue! Although probably not, Toma's construct is outmatched and already has troublemaking ghosts in it.Cutter doesn't know quite how to feel about Duane, if you can tell. One part hates him, one part is fascinated by him, another part feels quite a lot of kinship with him. R...

I have a profound weakness for villainous dialogue, especially when the villain is idealistic and overzealous. Especially when they've been curbing their desire to spill the beans for two months by forcing themselves to speak in rhyme.Cutter's having a blast. I, at least, had fun drawing all...

Cutter is a very interesting character to me. I still can't talk about him too much because there's a lot bubbling beneath the surface of his leathery hide that has yet to come out, but one thing that shouldn't be too surprising is his admission that he's an aesthete. He's very h...

I really like Dawn, the turbaned brothel manager. She's pretty understated but I feel like you can read a lot into her by her reaction to all this. There's a lot to be said for a minor character who steps up to the adventurin' plate and shows some competence instead of turning into a fla...
Audio Q&A 1
This is a bit sloppy but hey! Next time we'll try and do it live.

I like this one, it feels satisfyingly dynamic to me. Also Duane is super handsome!

I like how Sette's unabashedly covering her eyes here. Who wouldn't be?It's tricky to keep up a frenetic pace and suggest background fighting. As Sette's memory is sparked about the locks, Duane and the monster are still frolicking and Knock and Toby are trading blows. I didn't w...

I'll get that audio Q&A up this weekend or maybe Monday? Dog stuff messed up my schedule. Thanks to everyone who asked a question :)

Had to take my poor old hound dog to the vet today. He's feeling better now.

The balance between Duane and Sette's mildly adorable antics and the horror show going on around them was hard to strike. I tried to keep this scene from going wrist-slashingly dismal by dropping in splashes of grim levity here and there but horror show is horror show, and a threat like the silv...

In spite of the giant deadly pain monster thing and looming destruction and insanity, Duane's still pretty intent on everything he learned and experienced in the khert overnight. It amuses me that he blurts it out to Sette first chance he gets like an excited kid. He really doesn't want to h...

I have a lot of love for that first panel. Duane and Sette spent this whole chapter apart, each engaged in their own nighttime miseries. It was nice to at least have them in shouting distance of each other again finally.Look at how much detail is in each panel though! The pages this chapter have tak...

I enjoy extreme close-ups where I get to lovingly render Duane's gorgeous zombie face. It's especially fun when he's acting like kind of a dickbag. You know what it reminds me of though, when it goes from cartoony medium shots to a more rendered close-up? Those bits from Ren and Stimpy w...

Ooooh, I remember this page taking a dog's age to do. I really wanted Sette to look overwhelmed by all the begging ghosts, so there was no getting around drawing a crowd of them.
Lady Ilganyag concepts
Though Lady Ilganyag is a very old character of mine, I almost never drew her before Unsounded and never really had more than a vague idea of her looks. Part of the reason for this was she largely existed only inside the minds of characters and could look however she pleased. This is too confusing i...

One of my favourite pages this chapter. I liked getting to draw Sette doingthings again after so long tied up in that chair. It was also a lot of fun to come up with all those grotesquely swirling monster baby eels. I think the colouring came out well too. The trick with all that red turned out to b...

Textless pages are always a joy. I swear though, Sette has so little page time throughout most of this chapter that I forgot how to draw her a few times!But it was nice to get away from all the red pixels here, if only briefly. Sette gets one good gasp of dawn air and so do we before we're back ...
Request: Highres khert pages
Tumblr anon requested these pages at a higher res!
10_105
Always super tricky to compose pages where a tiny figure interacts with a giant. You don't want to lose a sense of the size of either, or a sense of the space they're in, and most importantly you want the actions to all read well. I found all these difficulties compounded more than usual by ...

Duane's definitely seen that critter before, though in a slightly different, more gargantuanform.I had huuuge problems with colours clashing as I began this action scene here. It'll get better as we go along, but I hadn't yet struck a balance between Duane's green and the Eel's r...
Exquisite Corpse.
I love when he makes this face.

Here's the newest page an hour or so early because my love is boundless. Going forward though, I think my routine will be to upload the higher res version immediately after updating the site. I like the pages better on the site, nestled in their thorny frame :3If you'll recall, Dawn, the bro...
10_98 through 10_102 HD pages
Well, hello there, generous patrons :)I thought I'd start us off with HD uploads of the past five pages. I worked very hard on this particular sequence, as I saw it as the pay-off for the last nine chapters, ever since the Red Berry Boys and the kidnapped, disembowelled folks were introduced way...
