And that's a wrap for 16.

I went back and forth on Starfish's ah... final form? Originally I wanted him perched backwards - ass first - with his head twisted 180 degrees, symbolizing how his undeath is a refusal to move forward to a new life/reincarnation... but! I couldn't get it to look right. Instead I took his legs, for the same reason.

Next chapter is a doozy. It is the final chapter of the book (can you believe we've been working on a single book all this time?) and concludes many of the hanging story threads, but it also sets up the next book, introducing ideas I've not only been looking forward to drawing for so very long, but that were in fact the motivation for me to tell this story in the first place! First we have to get through chapter 17 though, and I hope you'll join me for it after a brief break.I'll be posting a naughty little Minnow story on here in a few weeks, but is there anything else you guys would like to see? I could get chapter 16's script cleaned up and post that, if it's of any interest. It's full of notes and spoilers at the moment, haha~

Thanks for sticking with me for so long, everyone. There's no other way to put it: Patreon keeps the comic going. I could not do this without your support. You- YOU are directly responsible for this story. And I thank you for it, from the bottom of my weird little heart.

What a note to leave us waiting on! Your devilish side is showing Ashley.

My therapist: Undead anemone cockman Starfish isn't real and he cannot hurt you. Ashley: 🤫

Aah! Starfish is so repulsive, its amazing, I love your body horror work Ashely. I'd love to see the behind the scenes for 16, though no spoilers please <3, cant wait to read about minnow too. Thank you so much for your wild ride Ash! I wait to devour more of it with bated breath

Oh, that's gonna haunt my nightmares. Easily the worst thing you've cooked up so far. I can't believe we're approaching the final chapter of the first book!! It's been such an incredible journey, and I will always be so grateful that I stumbled upon this comic. I would love to see that Chapter 16 script. I always love to see how things change from page to panel as you work on it!

Quinton

I'd love to see the ch16 script. It's fun to get a look at the process (methods? madness?) behind the art.

Rainwalker

I’m pretty disaffected by gore, so this is the first an update has actually grossed me out. Kill it fire. Kill it with spears. Kill it kill it kill it

LordOfChains

A particularly icky part of me immediately said "Well, he WOULD be a tentacle monster..."

Noto

Would definitely like to see the Ch. 16 script, maybe scrapped ideas/production sketches if you have it? (as in "Duane must NEVER look too cool") Man Starfish was such a bastard I'm kind of glad to have him back. It's always the bastards that are fun to watch, even though I'm terrified. I like the detail of him having that weird hair growth! Reminds me of some underwater creature. Sometimes our ideas for our cool dickmonsters just don't work out as well but I'm glad you found a compromise! On a side note, is it possible to include some sort of (NSFW) in the title of the Patreon post? I tend to check from my e-mail rather than from the website, so the heads up could be nice. (My Japanese coworker was like "WHOAAAA that's grotesque!!" I think she appreciated it though)

Fitzy

tbh the worst part of the body horror for me isn't the dicks - those I've come to expect at this point. It's the weird fucking hair patterns and waterlogged quality of everything. Was the silver like "Oh yeah, he's a redhead. We've got some extra red hair lying around, let's just add some wherever"

James V Nutley

I'll wish for a sketch of the gallant ship Uaid, with the cast as Mattie's Pirate Crew!

The Clag

So Starfish had straight pubes? Huh.

The Clag

Ashley I can't express how much enjoyment I've gotten out of all these years reading your creation and I wish I had been a backer from the beginning. Getting to contribute in even the smallest way to your amazing work is something I think everyone in this club of weirdos is happy and PROUD to do. I'll be anxiously waiting for an insane final chapter (halfway point?) and hope you get some good rest and progress during a much deserved break.

Dylan

ew..... that's gonna stain the eyes for a while.... That aside, I love this story, and would love to see the script! I cant wait to one day own the whole first book in physical form. Following it from it's origins has been nothing short of spellbinding.

Gwemmie

I would love to see something involving Sara while she was still with us. I miss her!

redink

"Instead I took his legs, for the same reason." that made me laugh. btw can you show us all the doodles of back and forth forms u were going though of starfish? this pulled me right in again!

Noxae

Nope nope nope NOOOOOPE

StLOrca (pronounced Ess Tee Ell Orca)

You know, in Dante’s “Inferno”, being fotced to walk in a circle with your head twisted backwards was the punishment for fortune tellers, diviners and seers. Also? Nuke him from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Jeremy Ball

Well, Starfish's final form is really something... HAVE YOU BEEN SPYING ON ME IN THE SHOWER? "is there anything else you guys would like to see?" Well, nothing spoilery. ;) I know a couple of times you've posted panels that you redrew or reworked for the actual final page. Dunno how often that happens or if you have any more, but I like those. Even super sketchy. :)

James Duff

It's been years, a wild ride, and phenomenal story. You keep making 'em and I'll keep reading 'em, weirdheart.

Madison

Ashley, I need you to know that I hate this in the best way possible. I’m so excited for the next chapter, the next book, the next everything! Unsounded has been such a bright spot these past few years for me, and it’s been such a joy to follow this story. I’d love to see chapter 16 script… any notes or behind the scenes doodles. And I love director’s commentary on general lol. When you pop by the server, if we’re doing our reread, I know I’d love to hear any commentary you have!

Zoe Wolff

I just realized that Monday or Wednesday we were exactly as close to the end of Unsounded as we were to the beginning when I started reading. One chapter and a couple pages.

GracieV

So delightfully disgusting!!! Hope you have a a productive and happy "break." I'll be looking forward to July 1st for two reasons now, the return of Unsounded and, if all goes well, it will be the first day of my retirement. :) See, even us old fogeys enjoy your comic!

SET

Body horror is cool
