We continue serialization of the collected version of the three-issue 2017 miniseries Empowered and the Soldier of Love, written and laid out by me and featuring full-color artwork by the Chilean webcomic artist Karla Diaz.
Panel 2: In retrospect, would've been funny to have the labels on those "Love Claymores" labels read "FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY" in Spanish (apparently, "FRENTE AL ENEMIGO"), though I'm not sure that would've been easily understandable enough for English-only readers. (Then again, even the English version might be confusing for readers unfamiliar with Claymore mines.)
Wow, for once an issue's (or chapter's) concluding page landed on a Friday, as the "CONTINUARA" ("TO BE CONTINUED") text more or less makes clear! Next week on the webcomic serialization, our tale's concluding chapter kicks off with a cover illo that was initially supposed to be drawn by me, before a combo of El Soldado's g-d pleats and a Barrett .50 rifle caused me to abandon the effort (as I'll soon describe).
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!-Adam Warren
