Alfie Update
I am having a hard time getting the script for the epilogue to a point where I am happy with it. I sort of... Forgot how to write a comic script in the last couple of months. Whoops. So, in the meantime, I started coloring the end of chapter 18 just to feel like I am doing something :D. The three attached pages are mostly finished.
After some internal debatin', I decided to keep the sketch lines for these pages. They ended up pretty clean by the end of the chapter, and it would be a shame to lose them. Plus I like how the end result looks like. I am thinking of using this style for the epilogue: messy sketchy lineart and painted backgrounds.
I am not sure when the epilogue will start dropping but it sure as hell won't be in the first half of may like I promised earlier.

Have you thought of a pregnancy ending?
Has anyone suggested that maybe the reason the lesbian falls for her friend is that the friend is a trans woman who finally comes out as a woman in the epiloge?
I just read the whole comic in one day, got my mind blowed away by the quality and the masterpiece it it and i did something i never done before, singed to a nsfw artist. holy damn
These pages are wonderful. Thank you so much for doing this. It will be really great to see 'Alfie' in all its true glory. But I'm curious, how do you plan to deploy these? Are you going to have to rework the code on the website to replace the images, or something else?
Alfie is one of my favorite web comics! I love the progression of your art throughout it and it ultimately led me to becoming a patron so I can keep with with all your art and support you! Thanks for everything, you are the best InCase!
Merci beaucoup ! J'espère avoir également la version textless ^^
This looks better than my finished work! I love this style. Should totally keep it to the very end
Just saying, Alfie would be a real gem collected, not only for the quality of storytelling but for the of artistic evolution that can be traced throughout the years
Personally I hope you take all the time in the world, because I still don't want it to end anyway. :P
I came for the smut but stayed for the friends we made along the way :.)
so good to see those pages colored, worth any wait
These look wonderful! Take your time with the epilogue. More important to do it right than anything else.
That looks great to me. Take care and looking forward to reading things when they are ready.
The desperation of the poor Ailduin Jr. is even saddest in color.
The colored pages look fantastic! The painted background details add so much depth. Re-reading these pages is going to feel like reading a new, fresh Chapter 18!
The pages look amazing. Don't feel rushed. Let the story play out and then put it to paper, if there's delays, don't worry about them. Close out in a way that makes you happy.
"They lived happily ever after" always works. :)
I love this combo of lineart and color!
It'll come back to you. You're a natural.
Please take all the time you need
We can wait, take as much time as is needed. You’ve done enough that to push for more would be greedy
I second the idea of an hard copy. I really loved Alfie story, to me it's kinda insane that a "porn" script wad more solid than most modern Hollywood one. "Every 'action' scene should move the story foward" simple rule yet and efficient one
I am sure that the conclusion will come to you eventually. Don't force it or rush. Everything else has come from your mind just fine. This will be no different.
Perfection takes time. We're willing to wait for something close to your vision than something that feels rushed and misses.
Are you planning a printed release of the story? I’d love a hard bound edition!
