Panels 2 and 4 feature extra-sweet Maidman faces from Special Guest Artist Emily Warren, gotta say!

With panel 4, I deliberately overrode my customary aversion to "ping-pong" dialogue chains, just for the hell of it; can't say the results were necessarily worth going against my justified antipathy, TBH.

Lo, I stayed awake long enough to finish this week's commentaries! Yay, me! (And now, to bed.)

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!
