Yes, as we can see, even being extraordinarily tall seems to offer little protection from Emp's hugging.

This page has a rather peculiar significance to me, as it represents the first Empowered art I scanned with an up-to-date Epson Perfection v550 scanner instead of the older model Perfection 4490. Note that most of the other scanners I've tried out were far, far inferior to both the Epsons when it came to making grayscale scans from pencil art. (Now, if only Epson's larger-format, 11" X 17" flatbed scanners weren't insaaaaaanely expensive...)

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, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
