Panel 1: I'm mystified by why the hell that white, gutter-defining line underneath the sound FX "SKRAKK" abruptly terminates before reaching the left side of the page; I must've accidentally inked over it and forgotten to fix the error afterward. (Per Pitch Meeting, "Whoops!" "Whoopsie!")

Next week on the webcomic serialization, stand by for more ominous imagery and mayhem aplenty as a new threat faces our beleaguered heroine! (And mmmmaybe I'll get around to posting my oft-promised afterword for the perpetually upcoming Empowered vol. 12.)

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 project The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
