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.
Note that this page kicks off the bonus feature of an extended "Semi-Meta Emp" sequence deleted from the published version of Empowered vol. 12 for pagecount purposes; this sequence, along with many other unused pages, will be part of the 30-odd pages worth of bonus content featured in the Empowered Deluxe Edition vol.4 hardcover due out in November!
Panel 1: I drew Semi-Meta Emp's hand way too large on the original page and had to reduce its size a fair bit in Photoshop; nonetheless, I still find that said hand looks excessively large!
Note also a rare appearance of Emp's exposed ear on that Maskless Emp image at the bottom of the page!
Next week on the webcomic serialization, we continue our Bonus Semi-Meta Emp sequence before returning to the non-Meta flashback of Emp bedamseled by bemused minions at the end of the week.
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. 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, such as updates on fantasy test projects Crazy Witch, The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained.
