Lotta silhouettes on this page, I have to admit; normally I'd hesitate to draw more than one such shot per page, let alone three.

Panel 5: Pretty sure I improvised that odd "sparkly crosshatching" approach on that glowing column at the last minute out of sheer desperation; 'tis reasonably effective for a tossed-off, randomly assayed effort, methinks.

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. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
