Jumping back into the action~ (This page may look familiar to some of you…….oops)

Action can be hard for me, but Skyvein sure does give me a lot of practice with it!

A full-page spread with Bastion from behind holding Red by her shirt in the foreground, and in the background is a black eight-tailed fox with glowing gold eyes sitting atop a boulder, with several Red-lookalikes sitting around the eight-tailed fox and looking up at them. One of the Red-lookalikes is hanging upside down by a tree branch in the background, another is peeking out behind the eight-tailed fox's tails. There are glowing beams of sunshine shining down on the fox, and motes of speckled dust in the air. Bastion is a human man with white hair streaking through his black hair at his temples and in the middle. He has brown skin, black eyes, a trimmed mustasce and beard, and is wearing a white and blue jacket with golden fixtures. Red: Red is about a foot and a half tall, has darker skin, two fox tails, and is wearing a red cap and shirt, and striped green tights.

Meanwhile, Bastion is haven’t problems of his own…many thousands of tiny problems.

The shop is up and running! It’s a bit bare bones, but very functional and we have our license…i’m very excited to be tattooing again. i’m still figuring out the flow of working on tattoos/designs and working on the comic, but we’re getting there~ Thank you all for your support!

Next page will go up Wednesday, November 22nd!

Emi is truly the queen of saying-things-you-shouldn’t-say-while-losing-a-battle.

Shop update: We have a location, and it’s beautiful! We still aren’t ready to open yet, but we’re slowly slogging our way through all the bureaucracy involved in opening a shop.

Site update: i’m currently trying to include alt text for all images going forward! When i have the time, i’d like to include it for all previous images as well.

The next page will go up October 25th! Thank you for your support!

Volume 2, Page 114

i’m quite happy with how the bottom two panels came out! i love using elements of the drawing as the panel borders.

Next page will go up September 27th! Thank you all, as always, for your patience and support!

Volume 2, Page 113

~i just love fire effects~ It took a lot of work, but i’m very happy with how the fourth panel turned out!

The last couple of months have been a whirlwind. Things ended on bad terms with the tattoo shop i was previously working at, despite a lot of effort and emotional energy from my friends and i, and we are currently working on forming and opening a tattoo collective! It’s exciting and also a lot of work, and i’ll likely have more updates soon.

The next page will go up August 23rd! Thank you all for your patience and support.
