We continue serialization of Empowered vol. 12, which proved to be the final volume of the series in this specific graphic-novel format, though I was unaware of that unfortunate reality when I started work on the book.

Panel 1: Note that I added that chunk of rocky debris obscuring Emp's "booba" (if I might use highly technical vtuber lingo) after the page was done just 'cause I found the unblocked mammary to be quite distracting in the final artwork, whereas it didn't strike me in that manner in the rough sketch. 

Panel 3: 12+ volumes (counting spinoffs and Guest Artist stories) and only at this point did I think of giving the lenses on Emp's mask this particular "graphite inner aura" effect, which I think works out really well. 

Today’s Patreon update: Originally done as a means of scratching 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, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics Crazy Witch, The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
