Tried to get fancy with those last two panels; not sure it reads as easily as I'd hoped it would.
Lemuel's channelling himself some Legolas here. Making up for a fight with an enemy vliegeng that I had to cut.

Dhampir's just gonna bounce for now, don't mind her.
Two character things I really like on this page: Duane and Lemuel do not for one second question going after Will. Of course they're going to go after Will, even if they die trying to save...

Everyone who remembered little Will from chapter 7 has been waiting for the other arm I mean shoe to drop. And there it goes, with a sick thud.
Didn't Vampire say the salt lizard didn't immediately kill you though? She salts you! Maybe they ...

Shaensigin pragmatically gobbling down Vampire on her way outta Dodge is emblematic of senet beasts v humans, to me. Maybe to humans he was a powerful rebel and leader of men, impossibly old, cut down in a humiliating manner tragically unbefitting...

Four new pages today. I just couldn't bring myself to stagger this any further.
Many assume the Etalarche curse inspires only physical responses. It makes someone want to kill you. But it actually makes it more important that they hurt 2019-09-30 03:52:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Two pages today! Bit of mayhem!
This is all supposed to be happening so fast that I really hate staggering the pages. Threatens to make everyone look too slow to react. Pretend it's happening really fast! :)

Page Triple Digit! You know I originally intended for this chapter to be about 75 pages, all in sepia-toned sketch, and a nice holiday from the otherwise tedious artwork Unsounded requires? Oh ho ho ho.
I'm contemplating a page dump next wee...

I like the Salt Lizard's little dig on Roger here. "You had a great time playing the troll and making Alderode hate you. But if you want victory, you'll have to trade away everything you are - and you won't get to enjoy the prize."
Roger doe...

A, so that's why the cute science girl came along. To ask the important questions. I like Roger's expression in the last panel. He honestly knows next to nothing about pymary.
Shaensigin is speaking pretty plainly on this page. If you ...

Duane was listening to this conversation pretty closely fifteen years ago yet had no bloody idea what this crazy monster was blathering about. Remembering it now however... she does paint a vivid picture of this "Betrayer Bird." Sounds kind of fam...

Shaensigin has called this old ogre heart home for a few decades now, hence the salt crystals that have sprung up everywhere and the odd (floating because of the khert-fire) skull or two. It's cosy enough, low rent, though her landlord did go and ...

Vampire's dialogue is enjoyable to write but at the same time, deeply embarrassing. I worry about people seeing these pages on their own, out of context, and concluding I am a hack. Which is true, but I am a hack in entirely different way...

I like this page. Roger is almost skirting the "villain" line - and maybe he completely crosses it for you since we don't have a lot to go on to justify any of this but him and Vampire babbling about Alderode denying them freedom. We don't know wh...

Pretty meaty page, though a lot of it is between the lines. Roger didn't want to marry a woman and his family made sure he suffered for it. I think we can presume his parents had a lot invested in him. I think we can also gather that even the rich...

Here's where Duane first hears the Salt Lizard's name, a name which very few humans know. Revealing it to her was really the only reason Ruffles' Nanna let him start spinning this tale at all which, for all she knows, could be some sinister spider...

I'd really like to explore a giant petrified heart.
Why do you reckon Vampire is sending his troops away? He must have a lot of trust in Queen Sonorie to be alone with just Roger and her people. Either that, or he doesn't have any other opti...

If you've been keen on trying to work out just what Queen Sonorie is up to. this page drops some not-so-subtle clues.

I was tempted to do a twofer - the next page is really meaty - but arrgh, Fridays are bad days to skip.
Dhampir there you may remember from the beginning of the chapter - she's the one who put her sword through Lemuel's friend. I like her
I like how Vampire talks. It's old-timey, goofy, and a little endearing to me. How seriously can you take anyone who calls dudes "knaves?" Pack it up, Beardo.
Anyway, it was a fun excuse to research lots of archaic words. Not only archaic wo...

This is the start of a series of scenes where there were just too damn many characters to draw. It gets worse when Shaensigin re-enters in a few pages. She takes so very long not only to draw but to colour. There are ways to suggest all t...

See, Will knew what he was doing. Just wanted to season his nasty goat jerky.
Shaensigin here is a very troubled creature and has not had a very pleasant existence the past few centuries. Let's hope she doesn't take it out on our boys.
This is one of my favourite Lemuel pages. He expresses who he is and what drives him in fairly stark terms. Yes, he has an inferiority complex when it comes to Duane but he's also fiercely proud of his own small achievements, and he's not going to...
