This mostly Guest-Artist-oriented anthology collection, Empowered Unchained, saw print in 2015; however, this particular Empowered one-shot, The Wench with a Million Sighs, came out way back in 2010, shortly after vol. 6. However, I never found the space to reprint this story in a regular Emp volume, as vols. 7-9 already had long, pagecount-hungry plotlines underway, hence the long delay in reprinting Wench.

UPDATE: Just checked and, go figure, this Wench one-shot actually came out in 2009, a year before Empowered vol.6's 2010 release, even though I'm pretty sure I drew it after vol. 6 was already underway. Mysterious!

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 The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
