Panel 2: Enjoy another one of my periodic, fumbling attempts to depict Thugboy's face at least semi-realistically, as for a bunch of these shots I was partially photoreferencing him from a reference book of male Japanese models cosplaying (sorta) various action-related outfits.

Next week on the webcomic serialization, we get five more pages of Emp/ Thugboy convo wrap-up, with my commentary likely going all-in on bitching at length about Thugboy's inexplicable taste in 9mm pistols—though, in fact, said preference is entirely explicable, though not for in-universe reasons, as you'll likely see.

Also, we should be wrapping up the final excerpts from I Am Empowered next week, as I've now burned through pretty much all of the remaining content from that defunct prose experiment.

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!
