We continue serialization of Empowered vol. 12, which proved to be the final volume of the series in this specific graphic-novel format, though I was unaware of that unfortunate reality when I started work on the book.

Panel 4: in the first draft of this panel, I committed the shocking error of drawing Emp's "toothsome rump" (per the Caged Demonwolf) a bit too small in the original art (GASP), so we had to enlarge said rump a fair bit in Photoshop. Whew! Imagine the sales hit this volume might've taken without a correctly sized Emp behind in this shot. (Just kidding, folks.) OTOH, I also drew her g-d hands too large, but that was nowehere near as easily corrected, it seems.

Next week on the webcomic serialization, Emp reaches some important conclusions about this minion experience before the story's setting undergoes an abrupt change. Lordy loo!

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. So, who knows what today's post might feature? Could be Life Drawing or Distressed Damsels content (both of which are featured at least three times per month), or something in the Work Stages, Vintage Con Sketches or Design departments, or possibly something entirely new, such as updates on fantasy test projects Crazy Witch, The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
