Yes, dear readers, the preceding "Past Emp/ Present Emp" scene was entirely a confabulated bit of wackiness that she was explaining to Thugboy, complete with arched back and prominent rackage. Golly!
Panel 3: While I appreciate the extra work that went into designing the floral motifs on that comforter on Emp's bed, overall the image is a tad spoiled by my peculiar tendency to draw weirdly thin comforters and bedsheets that make for an oddly "sharp-edged" bed depiction, if you catch my drift. (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, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
