Lucien being evil. I just wanted to draw his eyes, and imagined a whole illustration around it basically.
Lineless art scares me (but I'm being very brave ok).

I find it very interesting that one of the first words/things that Molly say and seemingly remembers after he joins the circus is 'cat', specifically while looking at a black cat.
It may actually mean nothing but my first thought while reading the comic was that it was a memory vaguely resurfacing of Cree.
I've seen people say that it's a reference to Caleb and the Mighty Nein 'taking in strays' but it happens so early on in Molly's path to regaining a sense of self, essentially a time where he was closer to being Lucien than the Mollymauk we know and love that my immediate thought was that it was a vague memory of Cree. Especially since the Lucien novel tells us that Lucien and Cree were childhood friends. It would make some level of sense then that Molly would see a black cat and make a connection, even if he can't fully explain it. I may be completely wrong but I thought it was quite cool!

one book that makes me sympathize so hard with the villain. It's been a good couple of months since I finished this book but these few images keep circling in my head.
'The Nine Eyes of Lucien' excerpts under the break
"Do you remember that fiend we fought outside of Berleben? Gods, but that thing had a stench. I thought it was going to feast on my entrails, and Brevyn couldn't get a clear shot, then you found us and got it to chase you just long enough for me to cast and bind it," she said, laughing, and wiped at her brow. "I think that was the day Brev fell for you."
He tried to access the memory, but all he could conjure were the blurry faces of a younger Cree and Brevyn, one on each side of him, haloed in the luminous shine of an enchanted swamp, a few scraggly trees behind offering shade. "Bloody good timing!" Cree had shrieked, and she and Brevyn kissed him on the face. His cheeks burned where the kisses had landed.
--
That's her. The charm. Do you remember? The circus, the lights, the way Yasha's rare smile just lights up the whole fucking night? I know you remember her. She's like your Brevyn, Circus Man. She and I might only have been friends, but I think you have a type.
--
The bright blast of a spell punched into his chest, a rain of blood and sparks exploding from the wound. Lucien pushed his hands into the opening, pulling against the flesh and bones, eager, at last, for the pain to stop. There was a flicker of laughter somewhere in the distance, and a smile he wanted to curl up inside of, and a promise of a long sleep at the end of a longer journey. This was the realm of dreams, after all, and anything was possible.

"They brought it on themselves."
@runmienn did a lovely commission for me based on a scene from Chapter 8 of The Fool and the Soldier. Thanks so much!

Fjord, Mollymauk/Lucien, Yasha and Jester's story arcs:
The Mighty Nein discover their friend is in a weird cult.
Not only that, their friend is an important chosen one/founder of the cult.
They travel with/follow the cult to a far away place.
There's a search where the Nein hide and/or search for something the cult is looking for.
Then they (at least offer to) fight a demigod to get their friend out of the cult.
Most of the cult is dispersed.
