The deleted scene from Empowered vol. 9 rolls on this week, folks! In case you're joining the story outta nowhere, we're seeing a fairly elaborate "sexy roleplaying" bedroom scenario with Emp and Thugboy—technically a cosplay scenario, though Emp's "Captive Princess" character is wholly lacking in the costume department by this point.
An "all-close-up-shot" page this time around, which is generally considered a bit of a "no-no" in comics storytelling. (Ehh, whatevs.)
As I do from time to time, the Thugboy close-ups in his semi-meta address to the camera were partially photoreferenced from images outta one of my many Japanese pose ref books.
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!
