Panel 4: I quite like the way this shot of distraught Emp worked out, but I can't say the same about the character drawings in panels 5 and 6. (Oh, well.)

Panel 5: Please enjoy the long-awaited "Big Reveal" of Thugboy's real name, dear readers. As is usual for this series, S**t is Surely Getting Intense whenever I deign to "namedrop" unto you.

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 The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
