Uh... Ouch.

By this point in Empowered, I had long ago integrated a fair amount of inked work into an artistic format that was, early on, entirely pencil-based; all the speed lines, "impact flashes" and motion blurs on this page were inked with PITT Artist Pens because inks are of course immune to smearing—unlike the ultra-soft 5B pencil leads I used for the rest of the page. Yay?

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!
