As we wrap up serialization of the 2012 one-shot Empowered: Hell Bent or Heaven Sent with art by my bud and Guest Artist Ryan Kinnaird, here's my "thumbnail" rough for this page:

However, this appears to have been my second stab at this ending sequence; here's a very different rough version, with Emp herself undergoing transformation (I think):

Screw it, here's the rest of this unused version:

Yeahp, in this original version, a nanotransforming Emp had to guess at Mechanismo's password after he was incapacitated (I think):

Wellp, with tomorrow's published Hell Bent page, you'll see a rather different ending scene.

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!
