It seems almost unbelievable after all this time, but, if all goes well, Uncharred: At War’s Edge will be launching this coming Thursday on Tapas. I’ll post a link once it’s live. I’m simultaneously terrified and excited 🙂 Here’s the final version of the Chapter I cover.
I finally finished designing the “year’s round” – the most common way of representing a calendar year on the Uncharred. Year Asunder 1682 is when the webcomic’s story line takes off, which is why the calendars are all for that year. I figured there’s no way the marshal or the…
The two characters had been standing with arms crossed, and then heard Very Unexpected News. This is the reaction shot which I feel worked out, so I’ll just leave it here to be proud of. Or possibly to be ashamed of, a few years down the line. The (yet missing)…
I might yet change the logo. And do something with the sword so it looks less like a lightsaber. But otherwise this should be quite close to the final version. Sooo excited 🙂

A moored flying ship is complete. The docks around it, alas, aren’t even started properly. 5 new characters are complete. Halcians: Sergeant Dietman, Lieutenant Schtarz, Master Schielend Bereghins: bana-Ivolga (yep, I’m going with an invented title system, most nobles being styled bann (men) and bana (women), which is inspired partially…
I finally finished this location last week. Yep, that’s a lighthouse. Yep, in the mountains. Because wyvern-riders need navigational aids, too =)
This week I took a break from the ship and instead worked on the cast. This is Lieutenant Yarosvet Breslav (Yarik to his friends), one of the main characters on the Bereg side of the plot. Bereg is one of my two almost-warring countries. The other one is Halcia, which…
I’ve been building a flying ship over the past couple of weeks. Yes, all right, I wasn’t actually building it, I was modelling it in 3D, but the early stages of the process are surprisingly similar: tons of research and figuring out how stuff works. The ship was originally inspired…
