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 2: An interesting approach on rendering the editor's white dress shirt via shadows only, without any line art. Might have to try this approach in a color-based medium sometime...
Panel 4: For the record, Eyeglasses Emp's pants are loosely based on photoref of so-called "jeggings" or denim leggings, which turned out to be "regular tights or yoga pants with a printed or woven exterior that mimics the look, color, and seams of real denim jeans," per Google. Note that I was not quite able to convey the subtle differences between actual jeans and jean-printed leggings in pencil; oh, 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. 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. Golly!-Adam Warren
