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.

For the record, after someone commented speculatively on this matter a week or two ago, note that Scary, Badass Emp's hair was much more time-consuming to draw than standard-issue Emp hair as seen on this page. 

Next week on the webcomic serialization, Deathtrapmonger's reboot wraps up before we head off into the volume's next stretch, which has to be one or the other of two different upcoming scenes; however, once again, for the life of me I can't recall which of two possible sequences that might be! 

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!
