Alpha Flag - Hotel 09

Finally arriving at this scene was a bit surreal for me. It's the leadup to kind of the climax that marks the end of the Alpha Flag setup phase (yeah, we're still in the setup. Apologies!)

Hotel 09 - Color WIP [Spoilery]

Renee sent me her work in progress colors for the next Alpha Flag page, so I thought I'd share! Whenever there's some new effect or blood color we end up discussing it a little bit, and here I think U...

Alpha Flag - Hotel 08

Heeeey, look at that!

Renee's landed a new job that has given her time to do art again, so she sent me colors for this page. She's got up through 15 flatted, too so more should be forthcoming. I'll ...

Life Update & Apologies - February 2018

Hey everyone! I've been really irresponsibly silent for the past couple of months--whenever season depression hits me in late fall, I tend to become withdrawn and private. Terrible for updating social...
