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.

Yeahp, this page is absolutely rife with white-line artwork added on an overlay—the foreground grass in panel 1, Emp's hair strands in panel 3, and the whiskers on the "beeg cat" (per Hololive's Raora) in panel 4. Note that I started going heavy on this specific riff very late in the series because I had grown to keenly enjoy constant access to a white-line layer while working digitally in Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop from 2018-19 onwards, and wanted more of that sweetness in my comics work.

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 Crazy Witch, 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.
