I was hoping to complete more characters this weekend, but my mother fell and hurt her back real bad. Nothing broken, but she’s in a lot of pain, and I need to be around to help her out.

Femme Fliers is an original character project created by @bumroyv2.bsky.social The goal is to create characters for WWII aircraft, similar to what Kantai Collection and Azur Lane did for WWII warships. New planes will be released over time.
