Panel 2: My beloved, borrowed-from-Frank-Thorne's-70s-Red-Sonja "L-shaped panel" strikes again! Note that, in all likelihood, I used that slightly reduced panel 1 close-up just to make space for a clear view of Ninjette's cutoffs. Gotta have priorities, folks!

Note also that I'd completely forgotten Thugboy's bandanna and its pattern of teeny firearms of varying descriptions. Nice!

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, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
