Sorry for the delay. For the 3rd time this month I got sick, and wasn’t able to come into work. It feels like I’ve been sick nearly every other week this year. I really, really hope this is the end of it!
I thought you all might like to see the art form the recent Yeld release for Patreon. Tunnel Town is located in the Oracle Caves deep beneath Prince Dragul’s castle. Its where all the Medusa Sisters that escaped from the Gorgon live. Many of the tunnels under the castle are too narrow for the Gorgon, so lucky Medusas have been able to slip away (or just get lost). The very first found a cave big enough for a small town. She called herself Tunnel Lord, and snuck back to her mother in order to rescue her sisters one at a time. its dangerous work, but over the years Tunnel Lord has rescued dozens of her sisters, and Tunnel Town has grown bigger and bigger!
After the death of Prince Dragul the Gorgon has also been defeated. She still lives in the tunnels under the castle, but she keeps to herself and no longer hunts her own daughters. Tunnel Lord has decided she wants to introduce her town to the rest of Yeld. So she’s hosting a big party! TunnelFest!!! Featuring…
Tunnel Mummy Costume Contest!
The citizens of Tunnel Town have to deal with Tunnel Mummies all the time, so they know what a quality Mummy looks like!
Festival Sash decoration station!
Everyone who comes to the festival gets a free Sash, but only the cool people get theirs decorated. Tunnel Lord, herself has set up a special decoration station so attendees can create a memorable Sash of their own.
Mud Sculpture Competition!
An art competition judged by the Fairy Innkeeper Broth and his 2 young Hydra protégé, Chowder and Bisque. Broth is a phenomenal mud sculptor, and has helped Chowder and Bisque develop their own unique styles.
Hissy Elliot’s Midnight Musings!
A Poetry Slam orchestrated by Tunnel Town’s very own Hissy Elliot. As a young Hydra, Hissy only recently learned how to read and write, so most of her work is spoken word only.
Fortune Telling Booth!
Get a psychic reading from a self proclaimed “Serpent Oracle”. This teen Hydra claims she can see into the past, present, and future. She’s only mildly convincing, but really adorable.
The art of unlocking your true potential!
A free lecture and demonstration from the famous warrior Meanest Medusa about how to utilize training montages and unlock your true combat potential.
Oracle Caves Painting Party!
All attendees are invited to grab some paint, find a wall or ceiling, and paint their favorite moments from TunnelFest all over the Oracle Caves!
A Muddy Mosh Pit Dance Party!
Special musical guest Goblin Hit Squad closes out TunnelFest with an excellent performance and three encores!
This is so deeply hilarious
What? Women’s clothes with pockets? I thought they stored that stuff in their shirt :>
Remember, this is a fantasy world.
…It just occurred to me. Marah’s the only one who brought up dating at all.
Neither Shelly nor the beetle ever said anything about DATING each other, just that they thought the other person was cool and they wanted to talk.
Yeah. Marah inferred a romantic interest.
She did the same thing waaaaaaaay back in this strip when she first met Modest. I re-used some of that dialogue in this strip as a call back. https://modestmedusa.com/comic/ewwww/
(In hindsight I really regret that strip. Its the kind of thing a kid her age would say, and Jake’s reaction is immediately negative, but it led to some gross comments and reviews in teh first few years)
Seems like the guys in the previous page made the same inference though, even if Marah is the first to say it.
Yeah.
I hope you are feeling much better now. My last year has been what you have been going through being sick almost every week of some sort. Sigh.
Anyway again hope you are better.
Q: Who is the older Medusa in the bottom right of the picture?
I’m sorry you’re going through that. being sick sucks, and being sick forever is even worse!
I assume you mean the Tunnel Town picture? Thats one of the Medusa sisters that was left behind when Modest escaped with the others in Season 3. Or possibly was born afterwards. The events of the Yeld RPG (or at least that part of it) take place a few years after the current events of Modest Medusa. At the point of Tunnelfest the Prince is dead and the Gorgon has retreated into the darkness. Her daughters are doing their best to grow up and some of them are reach adulthood. Although I think this Medusa is only a teen.
