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.

Gotta say, by this point in our current pseudo-cyberpunk reboot, I found myself already quite weary of drawing the SF riffs I once slathered over hundreds of pages during my long-ago run on Dirty Pair. While I certainly wouldn't mind writing another SF-oriented project someday (and, to be fair, Empowered did occasionally venture into SF adjacency), I rather doubt I could interest myself in drawing such an effort. (Oh, well.)

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.
