Panel 1: As we'll see shortly, Theoretically Submissive Emp does a whole lotta stage-managing of her roleplaying fantasies.

Panel 3: Ehh, couldn't quite pull off the ol' lip bite in this shot, though the Emp expression still works pretty well regardless.

Panel 4: Okay, so maybe Emp isn't exactly reinventing the wheel in terms of freshness and novelty with her Captive Princess dialogue. (Then again, she's a fanfiction consumer, not an actual writer of the stuff.)

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. 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.
