And now, on to our final chapter from the anthology collection Empowered Unchained, dear readers!

To clarify the title art color credits a tad, I drew the Emp figure and Robaato colored it, with all the other artwork being drawn and colored by Brandon. Note that at this point I was still attempting the artistic approach of leaving Emp's suit entirely open for color without any inked shadows as seen on the Unchained cover illo and elsewhere; after this illo, IIRC, I ditched this "open-for-color" rendering scheme for good.

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.
