Panel 3: Not too wax excessively SPOILER-iffic, but Le Chevalier miiiiiiiight just be on to something with this premonition.

Also, behold a new form of portal, as opposed to the circular, petal-based Lotus Nodes we've been seeing ever since their first appearance way back in Empowered vol. 4. This time around, I wanted to try something involving only sharp angles, as opposed to the curves and ellipses of the Lotus pattern. You might well see more of this type down the road in the series, as I think this would be a bit easier to draw; tough to say for certain, though, as I only depicted this unnamed portal iteration for a grand total of two (2) vol. 10 pages.

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!
