We continue serialization of the collected edition of the six-issue 2018 miniseries Empowered and Sistah Spooky’s High School Hell, written and laid out by me and featuring art and lettering by Guest Artist Carla “Speed” McNeil and coloring by Jenn Manley Lee.

Behold, my thumbnails for the last few story pages, seen in their original "quad" format of four wee roughs per sheet of letter-size paper. For the record, I initially lay out the roughs on big ol' sheets of legal-size paper trimmed down to roughly comic-page proportions of 8.5" x 13" or so, then recopy and redraw them in this much smaller "thumbnail" format after I've written the script and final dialogue. The red and blue colored pencil work was originally done to add clarity to the roughs, but I kept doing so mainly 'cause I found the results aesthetically pleasing.  

Today’s Patreon update: Originally done as a means of scratching out more worktime to complete the long-gestating Empowered vol. 12, I've switched over to a Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday Patreon posting schedule that won't feature the fixed content format I previously used. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
