Happy Valentines day! This one is a little late. It snowed pretty hard in Portland this week, and I wasn’t able to get into the studio till this afternoon. I’m wrapping this strip up just before 11pm on Friday, so technically not late!
I forgot about what his human form looked like. It has been years.
What a horrible fight. Well done!
Marah found violence when she came to Yeld and it keeps escalating.
Chainicorn, let’s go!! Also, that the chainsaw isn’t out… he’s holding back, but with it he could totally dice up some vampires. Is there a reason he’s holding back?
So he IS the Chainsaw unicorn?! Have we seen his human form before, really? I too vaguely recognize his face, but.. god, how many years have it been?!
Just once, about 12 years ago.

Really great artwork, been following from the beginning. It’s a treat to watch how an artist changes and gets better over the years. For some reason this page stands out. Love the various expressions on Marah’s face.
Thanks!
So not a centaur… a werehorse? Some sort of shapeshifter?
He’s the Chainsaw Unicorn. H was a human that came to Yeld and befriended Modest’s mother. That is what his human form is now.
I don’t know about you, but instead of running away before the vampire recovers, I might use that sword to finish separating their head from their body just in case that inhibits said recovery process significantly. And maybe take the head with me and throw it in a lake or well or something, for good measure.
I think when people are scared and beaten nearly to death they don’t always think about stuff like that.
Oh… OH!
Wait, he can retract it?
Oh hey! I remembered something correctly! Neat!
Orrrrrrrrr–now hear me out–or keep on stomping on it until it cannot move at all, and then set it on fire.Slicing off both arms should help buy you enough time to get that fire going (because I *still* don’t trust those things not to be a threat even with just one working arm).
Don’t forget your sword, Marah!
I haven’t been this thrown by a reveal since I read A Song of Ice and Fire and it was Barristan the Bold
The black speech balloon is because his voice is hoarse?
Ha. Thats great. That made me laugh.
Maybe Marah will get better next time. She IS still learning.
