True, my beloved "WHKOOM," one of the very few explosion sound FX that passes muster with the inscrutable, onomatopoeia-assessing algorithm in my head, has not aged well with the skeevy ascent of modern meme terms such as "coomer."

I quite like how this page turned out, but in retrospect I should've left off that comet-like dealie arcing away from the detonation, which detracts from the impact of the image with a discordant note of, well, goofiness.

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!
