🕑 Added 2025-04-28 03:39:15 +0000 UTCWhile some of the aftermath of Vienne's death has been talked about in side fiction, I never really got to show it properly in the comic, so that opportunity was relished here. There's something so forlorn about Mathis sitting there in the dirt getting yelled at.
Important: I want to do the final chapter update in a big chunk of 20 pages. I feel very strongly that this is best. Unfortunately I still have 8 more pages left of it to draw. So I am pausing it here. I have never done this before! But I am granting myself this final indulgence. It is possible something happens and I fall one or two pages short by the deadline, but if all goes well I hope you'll come back here on May 12 for the finale, when it will be posted.
I'm quite mad at myself that I didn't get it drawn before having to take a break but man, having a print deadline fall right at the end of the book as it did really just beat me in the face with a wrench. But I'm going to go haul ass to get the final 8 pages done, even if I gotta pull a few all-nighters!
Thank you for your patience, readers :)

Oh man, 20 page finale - I understand the drop-at-a-time thing is just the way webcomics go, but that sounds like it's gonna be satisfying; every time I've reread an entire chapter I realize how much better it flows. I mean, duh. But still - exciting. Also good lord this page is wrenching.

Apparently 4chan is back up! Thanks for the congrats, Clag, I always look forward to seeing your lewd avatar in the comments :)

Congratulations! I've been reading and rereading for so long I don't even know when I started, what an amazing milestone to reach after years of consistency and quality. I'm sad I can't go back to /co/ to celebrate with the weirdos who introduced me to your work Ashley.

Hold on to your hats everyone, the end is in sight! But seriously, there must be something special about Jivi's hat, even the Khert fire seems out to get it...

May 14th, noted... I'm gonna cry at end of this won't I?

Oh that panel of Quigley holding Vienne's body is so SAD. I am excited to read the rest of the pages all in one go!! Your dedication to consistent updates is truly inspiring, I've been reading Unsounded for a decade now I think?? I'm sure you are very excited to have book 1 completed, but take all the time you need! We trust you to get it done.

Only 20 pages left, ye gods... And hmm, I wonder if kicking up the khert fire is the point! A friendly face has been living in there.

Everyone has already told you to take your time so I won't repeat them (seems like you're not listening anyway!) But I will say how excited I am to see the end after all these years, I know you'll finish it up amazingly. You're in a league of your own Ashley!

The finale..! Let's meet again on the 14th then. Don't overwork yourself too much ❤️
Ashley
I refuse! I'm going to even try and finish before the 14th, haha. Gotta go fast!
Ashley
Yep, physical print. I can't talk about it yet but there are new books coming :)
Ashley
It's exciting! Looking forward to finishing it and also starting new directions :)

[Cheering,] This'll be interesting! Also, ouch, she's toasty in all the wrong ways.

This page seems like an adequate warning against burn-out... but I'll say it anyway. ;) It must be some kind of feeling being so near the end of the book though. I can't imagine.

You got this Ashley! We've got every bit of confidence in you! Don't push yourself too hard though! Gah I can't believe it's ending! Also by print deadline, are we talking physical print deadline?! 🤤

Just so sad to see what happened. I will be waiting with great anticipation for the conclusion, take the time you need and make it what you want it to be, I'm sure that last stroke you place will be heartbreaking but triumphant all the same.
SET
Holy, take care of yourself Glass, finish strong but don't burn out!
Simon
That big conclusion is going to be worth it - please take your time Ashley
