Over on me ol' Patreon, this month the Life Drawing feature undergoes a dramatic shift, as I've now used up all the hundreds of analog-media, pencil-drawn sketch sets from photoreference that I cranked out on a nearly daily basis through 2017 (and into 2018-2019 on a much more sporadic basis). TBH, I did so many of these sets that I could probably start again from the beginning and begin reposting all the old sets I put up back on the Patreon back in in 2019 without anyone noticing, as I sincerely doubt that many or possibly any tier members actually scroll aaaaaallll the way back in my account's sprawling archives to see those earliest Life Drawing posts.

Alas, that's not what I'm doing, as the thrice-per-month Life Drawing feature will now be exploring my earliest efforts of working from photoref with digital media, eventually working up to my modern-era Clip Studio Paint sketch sets, which are (IMHO) just as accomplished as anything I drew on paper with 5B pencil leads.

More on this matter Friday, dear readers, as another I Am Empowered excerpt should be going up tomorrow on this here webcomic commentary.

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. Golly!
