Panel 1: Note that Programmed Thugboy was cutting things just a tad close with that round FZZPPing through the trailing ends of 'Jette's top. Then again, he was shooting with the none-too-accurate (to put it mildly) Ruger P89, so who knows?

Gotta say, went too small with Kozue's head and a bit too doughy with her torso in this shot, alas; arguably, I was skewing her depiction a tad "Emp-like" for some reason.

Panels 4-5: Flashback to an Empowered vol. 7 karaoke scene—which was, in the context we saw it, a flashback itself!!

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!
