Panel 1: Come to think of it, the detailed model of a human skull that I used for reference in this scene was not, in fact, bought for use in Empowered. Rather, I just remembered that I bought it way back in 1995 as reference for the skull-intensive cover illustration of Dirty Pair: Fatal but not Serious #1.
Panel 3: Enjoy another image of big-headed, skinny-shouldered Emp, folks. Nowadays, if anything, I tend to air* on the side of depicting Emp as arguably being too broad-shouldered.
Panel 4: Whatever might be causing Emp's reaction in this panel? Let's find out tomorrow!

*UPDATE: Of course, I meant "err," not "air," but didn't notice when Windows speech recognition used the wrong homonym. (As noted earlier, I'm dictating these commentaries to save my drawing arm some stress.) Whoops!
