Here's the final color page of 2013's one-shot Empowered: Animal Style, with artwork and fine mecha designs by Guest Artist John Staton, sweet colors by Guru EFX, and ace lettering by Blambot's Nate Piekos. Tomorrrow, we wrap up the story with a closing page drawn as well as written by me.

Panel 1: Not sure if this was an unwanted proofreading correction or not, but those two initial "WHUHH" word balloons were supposed to be left unpunctuated, as they were setting up Maul Bunny's "WHAT THE F**K" as a vocal stammering effect; for extra clarity, the two "WHUHH" also should've been connected to the third balloon, which was a clear blunder on my part when I set up the lettering guides. (Oh, well, yet again.)

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 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.
