Panel 3: Well, to accentuate the positive in this fairly horrific scene, at least Spooky and Emp are now sisters in the tatter-intensive sorority of Severe Costume Damage!

Panel 4: TBH, Spooky's fairly cartoony, exaggerated dentition doesn't help "sell" that she's had her lips burned off, but as with most of the gore (or "gore") effects I bother to draw, I'm not at all interested in exploring realistic depiction of grievous injuries.

Today’s Patreon update: In an attempt to scratch 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!
