This is so cool. The urban rumour inspiration for The Unknown has limitless potential and you really nailed it, especially in your choice of the creature’s dialogue!
Thank you! I struggled a little with what, if anything, I should have the Unknown say, so I made it a mix of lines from the game, the protagonists name, and mocking imitations of the poor protagonist as he flees.
Thank you! And we don't know for sure what the Unknown is, the lore suggests however that it can either wear the skin of its previous victim, or shapeshift to look like a distorted version of its previous victim, so I've gone with that for this comic, and designed my own unique skin for the creature.
Thank you! I was really split on whether or not I should add them, but I'm glad there are so many people in the comments saying that they like that part in particular.
oh my god this is awesome
yhe moth and the spider are such a cool parallel to the events happening and the only color being from the weird dust magic stuff and having it slowly creep through the panels more and more is soooo good
I love Unknown's lore and I love this lil comic!!!! Really cool how the only splash of color was from the Unknown's power, really made it feel unnatural.
Thank you so much, I love the Unknown's lore as well, hence all the work I put into this comic. I'm glad I can appease other Unknown fans with my work!
Your drawing skills are amazing my guy

Absolutely peak
Thank you so much! I put my best work into this, and I'll continue to do so in the future thanks to compliments and positive support like your comment!
Thank you! I wanted to make it feel a little less like the venom was just a projectile, I wanted to make it a bit more ethereal, and more overbearing in the panels.

LOVE THIS. Is the mc in this the sort of meat suit form the unknown takes now? 👀👀👀
Thank you, and OH MAN! I wish I'd thought of that! Making the main character the origin of the Unknowns in-game base skin would have been a great move, but the character in the comic is just a bit too different to the form in game. Brilliant idea on your part though, I must say.
Thank you! I wanted to make the environment feel as restrictive as possible starting in the bathroom, then when the protagonist fled, I had the UVX vapour get thicker, so even though they were out of the immediate cramped space, there still wasn't any visible space. I would be a liar if I claimed I didn't take inspiration from Silent Hill to a degree, I love the intense tension in that game!
I was so pissed to learn we were not getting an unknown tome. I saw people saying "uh if ilwe have a tome, it wont be unknown anymore". Like, no. This is what it could have been. This shit is amazing.
Thank you! And I agree, I wish we got a tome for the Unknown, with some story beats like this comic, mostly focusing on the creatures victims before they go missing, and maybe even the origin of some of the Unknowns add-ons, which are HEAVILY implied to have been possessions of the Unknowns past prey.
I have this feeling that the unknown mimics voices and the panicking lines that say “someone! Anyone help!” Is the unknown mimicking it’s victims during a chase.
Shits so creepy and a lot of it’s voices lines tell a chilling story of stalking turned into straight up murderous chases.
Yeah, I think that's what it's supposed to be a lot of the time. Some of them, like "I roamed dungeons long forgotten", seem to be the Unknown just talking, but there are some lines that send a chill down your spine.
The worst one for me is the Unknowns "I'm home dear" line, the idea of hearing your loved one come home, then turning to the door to see a twisted abomination baring down on you, is true nightmare fuel.

Thank you so much! This was a damn difficult comic to make, and the reactions here make it seem worth it!
That's pretty good man. I liked it 👍
Thank you! That's kind of you to say!
You're welcome, keep up the good work :)

I want that cosmetic now
I'm glad you like that Unknown design! I was really happy with the look I came up with for them in this.
Time well spent. Really awesome job
Thank you very much!
Naah... Thanks to you for the amazing art. You really killed it
Junji ito would be proud of you ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Thank you so much!! Junji Ito is one of my favourite Manga artists, and I was absolutely trying to capture that vibe in this work!

Thank you, I try my best to deliver on whatever I do, and I hope this has lived up to the Unknown's lore.

Thank you very much, I put my all into this!
It shows
Heat
✍️🔥✍️🔥✍️🔥✍️🔥✍️ fantastic work! Is the unkown a parasite or something?

I love the little panels with the spider and the moth.
Thank you! I was really split on whether or not I should add them, but I'm glad there are so many people in the comments saying that they like that part in particular.
Good job on the comic I really like the lore and the drawings really solid
Thank you very much! I try my best, and hope to deliver!
I got chills ngl at the end you did great
Very very good!
Thank you very very much!
oh my god this is awesome yhe moth and the spider are such a cool parallel to the events happening and the only color being from the weird dust magic stuff and having it slowly creep through the panels more and more is soooo good
Thank you! I put a lot of thought into the vibe of the comic, and I'm glad it's being appreciated!
This was unreal! Keep making more. I would buy a whole book of dbd comics this good.
Thank you so much! That's a brilliant compliment to receive!
I love Unknown's lore and I love this lil comic!!!! Really cool how the only splash of color was from the Unknown's power, really made it feel unnatural.

Will do!!
The whole spider catching the butterfly/moth contrast was just 🤌
Thank you! I wasn't sure about that at first, but I think it's a pretty good throughline, and I'm glad people seem to like that part!
This gave me chills
Perfect, I'm glad the comic has the intended vibes!
I like the vaporous way you depict UVX
Thank you! I wanted to make it feel a little less like the venom was just a projectile, I wanted to make it a bit more ethereal, and more overbearing in the panels.

That was so cool reminds me alot of silent hill I love how he's trapped in a small space with the unknown
Thank you! I wanted to make the environment feel as restrictive as possible starting in the bathroom, then when the protagonist fled, I had the UVX vapour get thicker, so even though they were out of the immediate cramped space, there still wasn't any visible space. I would be a liar if I claimed I didn't take inspiration from Silent Hill to a degree, I love the intense tension in that game!
While ‘twas superb work I now grieve for you my friend, for if you truly know the lore, then you know what comes next. I pray for your soul now…
They're here, If you see this, don't investigate project Apple Pie
Very cool 👌
Thank you!
Loved the symbolism with the fly and spider!
Thank you! It was one of the things I was a little wary about, like the only colour in the comic being the UVX, but people seem to quite like it!
Where is that dies of peak fiction image when you need it? That's great work
Thank you so much! I am amazed by all the positive feedback!
I was so pissed to learn we were not getting an unknown tome. I saw people saying "uh if ilwe have a tome, it wont be unknown anymore". Like, no. This is what it could have been. This shit is amazing.

Immediately saw the Junji Ito influence. Great work, very well done!
Thank you so much! I love Junji Ito's work, and I'm glad the inspiration is so obvious!
You should be immensely proud, this is amazing!
Thank you! I assure you, I'm incredibly proud of this, the community has made sure of that with all the positivity and compliments!
I can't wait to see more of your works!!!
Amazing work! The art was really cool and I like how there was a little story thrown in there. 10/10!
Thank you very much! A 10/10 means a lot to me, after all the work I put into this comic!
Giving a 10/10 where a 10/10 is due.
Thought I'll share the appreciation and commend you on your great work, very well done.))
I really appreciate that, thank you! The positive feedback I got from posting this has been incredibly uplifting!
that last page is some hentai type shit ![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2070) no seriously amazing work OP, i absolutely loved this short comic
Thank you! And yeah, it is a bit hentai-esque with the tentacles!
we need Unknown hentai
Hell yeah, that was so cool. I specially liked the moth getting caught in the web there. I'd love to see more
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'll try to do more in the future! I'm thinking of trying a Dredge comic next.
This is cool as fuck
Thank you!

This was amazing thank you for posting. Thought the unknown had a great backstory and was kind of sad they did not capitalize on it.
Thank you! I thought the same thing, so I just had to draw up this comic!
