Christ alive, this is everything that pleases me. I mean it. You always put things together so nicely, like some sort of reliquary, all wreathed in tenderness. God.
Have you ever read Jeff Smith's comic Bone? It might be the biggest reason I started drawing seriously, and I reread the series once a year. The heroine, Thorn, is amazing, wonderfully presented -- we get to know her slowly, as Fone Bone does, and she is as powerful as a person can be. Her realization of her power is incredible, reacting with fear and trepidation and then wearing it like the crown it's meant to be. Your Alice reminds me of Thorn in a lot of ways (and as a matter of fact, THAT'S who your work reminds me off: Jeff Smith!).
