Crap, forgot to finish writing these g-d commentaries earlier in the week! Ughhh. Not feelin' it right now, to understate things a tad.

Wellp, time for another sudden timeframe change, to belabor the obvious.

Panel 5: As the hovertext notes, silhouette shots like this one (with its inverted-to-white Young Emp "nested silhouette") not only save me worktime but, almost as importantly, impart some welcome high-contrast values to an otherwise fairly gray-skewing comic page.

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.
