Anonymous asked: It never even occurred to me that Duane might have eaten her! YOU MONSTER WHY DID YOU EVEN MENTION THAT
Haha, it was a popular theory on 4chan for a while. Not my fault!
Anonymous asked: Was Duane already dead when Mikaila stunned those assassins with a burst of light and he suddenly came back to unlife, or was he dying and had one last surge of adrenaline or something?
The latter. That one crack to the head stunned him, and Mikaila’s cry brought him back around for a minute. It’s a nice thought, but fervent wishes alone won’t bring you back to life in Unsounded’s world any more than they will in ours.
Anonymous asked: I'm a bit confused as to what Sette is doing right now. Is she still falling through a white void in the khert and witnessing Duane's memories herself? Or is this story only being seen by the us the readers? Either way, you've pummelled my poor heart into something resembling that pot of fleshy goo from page 106.
The next page will clear this up
So many people tattooing themselves with the Rood-Right-Way-Up. You think you’d look on Sydney’s back for a reference, you know?
Unless it’s Mullenkamp they’re referencing. She has her rood right-way-up. There’s really no wrong way to do it unless they mean specifically to emulate Sydney.
andrewhorsie asked: why hello ma'am. Wonderful evening isn't it. I rather enjoy your comic I must say and I suppose I do have one question for you if it is not too horribly inconvenient. WHAT THE GOD FEARING FUCK JUST HAPPENED I MEAN JESUS SHIT HOW WHAT???!??! *emotional blubbering and sobbing*
At least Duane didn’t eat her.
Anonymous asked: How long have you been drawing on paper?
What’s paper? I don’t draw on much but my Wacom these days :3
But I’ve been drawing in general since I was a toddler. Thirty years. So old.
Anonymous asked: "and neither have any of the smoke eels we've seen been conscious of anything but themselves." So could a smoke eel theoretically grow complex enough to interact with people?
Ooooh, we probably shouldn’t talk about complex world mechanics on tumblr. But yes. Theoretically. They are just ghosts themselves after all.
bug2buga asked: Hey, I love your webcomic, the art is great and i'm really into it :D Do you have any advice for a possibly /upcoming/ artist? ((I really don't like my art im sorry ( p_q) ))
Practise! Daily! For hours! There are no shortcuts, I’m afraid, unless you’re one of those freaky child prodigies :) Keep a sketchbook and take it with you everywhere. Draw everything around you - people and environments. The core of good drawing is developing good spatial awareness and hand-eye coordination. It’s a mental muscle you gotta build up.
Hate to break it to you, but it won’t be a single player game, it won’t be developed by Crystal Dynamics, it won’t have even one person who worked on the old ones, it will not have the same writers, sadly, Tony Jay passed away so no Elder God, one of the most imporant characters in the whole series, and it’s possible it might be some form of multiplayer game. This will not end well, and if anything, judging from the Tomb Raider and the Guardian of Light DLC, that not even CD had much respect for LoK after Hennig and the other key devs left.
These were my thoughts exactly. This is why I do not clamor for sequels to games, particularly older ones. I’m not going to go blue in the face decrying this and saying how they’ll wreck the venerable memory of LoK, but there is about as much reason to get worked up over this as there is to get worked up over a fan game. And a fangame is all it is. There is no legitimacy to it outside of the fact that a few soulless suits own the copyright.
If you want video games or comic books or films to be considered art, you have to treat them like art - namely with respect. A third party doesn’t get to come in and scribble an airplane on top of Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Neither should old franchises be resurrected by people that had nothing to do with their original creation. They will manufacture schlock - at best an inadvertent Dadaist exhibit. They will think they know how to “fix” all the problems of the original, and in doing so they will utterly vitiate everything beloved about those originals. The fans are pissed off, the newcomers are disinterested, no one wins. Go play any Silent Hill game after 4. Or DMC. Or read up on the new Thief.
But it really doesn’t matter what anyone says. Sequel and remake syndrome is rampant in every industry these days. I’m not sure if it’s because of creatively bereft fanboys growing up and feeling entitled to remake the games of their youth in their own image, if it’s a western fear of letting things age and of aging ourselves, or if it’s just because the suits are so afraid of risk. Whatever it is, it’s a big reason why all I play these days is fuckin’ Minecraft.
…well-played.

There is a new Legacy of Kain being made.
Wow…..it’s been 10 years already? When did that happen?
