Panel 1: The familiar plasma gun from waaaay back in Empowered vol. 4 looks pretty sweet in this shot, gotta say.

Panel 2: Ehh, I pushed my usual low-angled shot a bit too hard in this shot, as it wound up looking as if Emp wasn't quite landing on the roof's surface. I prolly should've lowered her further in the panel and moved the sound FX elsewhere.

Panel 3: If you recall from earlier action scenes, Emp has been zapped in that same shoulder previously, within the story purely by coincidence but in reality due to reasons of left-to-right reading of action causality.

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.
