This is the section of story where the faces hadn't yet geled for our characters, and the storytelling is a lot rougher than I'd like, but I think it serves as an interesting time capsule for that weird awkwardness that threads through Alpha Flag.

Renee is currently tied up doing some coloring work, so I'm going to power through with pages for her stack. In the meantime, he's what my Alpha Flag pencils look like currently.
The seemingly random diagonal lines are construction lines that let m...

This chapter contains some of my favorite drawings of the Diver. Drawn from July 2011 - December 2011, it rounded out the first year of Alpha Flag, and I feel like it took about this long to figure out the visuals of the comic. Being my first longfor...

Delta ran from December 2011 - May 2012 and was the start of some of the more violent elements of the comic. It's where we first see our guys actually kill an aspect.
I think Renee's colors really shine in this chapter. Since it's almost entirely r...

Back on the Alpha Flag page train, y'all! As I said on the Hotel 05 page, I'm going to be posting the inks for pages before the final pages go up so long as they're not super big spoilers. If they are super spoilery, I'll post them after the finished...

It being Halloween makes for the thinnest pretense for sharing this short science fiction comic fragment! Red skulls, gore!
I drew Dead Star Pluton in December 2012 while on vacation in Poland for the first time. I was meeting my partner's f...

I drew Echo from June 2012 - October 2012. This is the last chapter I drew before I started experimenting with nib inking. When I started drawing Alpha Flag in December 2010, I had recently switched from inking with a Pentel Color Brush (a quasi-reus...

After a break to move countries, it's time to get back in the Alpha Flag saddle. The new pages will start soon, but until then, here's another PDF of an earlier chapter: Foxtrot.
This one never got a wide release (outside of the mailing list), so i...

I've been working on remastering Alpha Flag pages for modern tablet screens, so if you prefer to read your comics on a device, this release is for you! It also means there are finally some PDF versions of Foxtrot and Golf coming down the pipeline. An...

I'm going to start posting the inks for pages before the final pages go up so long as they're not super big spoilers. As such, Hotel 05 is an atmosphere page that's pretty light on spoil.
A few things of note on this page:
- Two-Point Perspec...

This 44 page, A5 sketchbook chronicles my first couple months of working with Copic markers. It's filled with color drawings, anecdotes and tips--the result of exploring a new medium!

Here's what Alpha Flag looks like before I send the files to Renee for her to add the colors. I'm always kind of amazed when I see the finished product, since she has a large degree of control over the finished look of the series.
I'll be posting t...
