Panel 1: Sadly, I can't say for certain whether or not this power of violent rivet projection was always intended to be part of El Capitan's power set; might be the case that I worked up this ability solely for this scene, though who knows? (Not me, clearly.)

Panel 3: The "SPROINGG" of the Capitan's rivets reappearing still cracks me up, dear readers. Per the great Craig Ferguson, "I made myself laugh, and that's half the battle."

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!
