Panel 2: Yeahp, definitely a tad discomfiting to see Emp's unmasked face during an ongoing action scene, don't you think?

Panel 5 (sorta): Damn you, overly complicated-to-draw Ruger P89 slide and frame!

Next week on the webcomic serialization, events take an even more alarming turn as that aforementioned Ruger P89 finally bows (or bounces) out of Empowered continuity for good; SPOILER ALERT, I guess?

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 projects The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
