Panel 2: Sometime I probably should address the real artistic reason why this chapter's urban backgrounds shifted from semi-realistic contemporary buildings to my trademarked, utter-bulls**t "pseudo-cyberpunk" riffs...

Panel 4: What's this? Well, dear readers, stand by for your first-ever look at what the Superhomeys HQ looks like from the outside.

Next week on the webcomic serialization, vol. 10's penultimate chapter wraps up while I Am Empowered excerpting likely finishes up that account of how Emp's supersuit regenerates; problem is, that particular chapter goes into a lengthy minute-by-minute, "real-time" account of Emp's grueling emotional experience during a typical "damsel in distress" episode, which I might skip over due to the first-person narrative being effective yet also pretty g-d unpleasant.

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. Golly!
