Panel 3: All the "glitter FX" in this shot were achieved by the application of whiteout to the original artwork. Around this time, IIRC, I began having annoying hassles aplenty with the whiteout I was using back then, as it had an obnoxious tendency to peel off and stick to the glass face of my scanner's bed. Dagnabbit!

Panel 5: "Poor ol Mindf**k," indeed!

Also, sound FX update: I likely would've used "PINGG" here to signal the change in Emp's status, but went with BREEP instead because I'd just used PINGG back in panel 3.

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!
