Yeah, at one time I seriously thought Empowered vol. 11 was gonna be out within a year of vol. 10's release, as I was making decent progress on the thirty or so pages or so of the book at the time; then, alas, I hit the still-inexplicable bump in the road when I suddenly lost any and all interest in drawing the book, as addressed on the page where I stopped work for several months. Luckily, the book hadn't yet gone on the schedule, so its release was pushed back until I was able to make progress again. (Different story on Empowered vol. 12, which has been stalled out at the Dark Horse side for well over two years since I sent off my last pages; I feel pretty confident in stating that the current Nov. 2024 release date will be actually happening, believe it or not.)

The polyamory line by Ninjette was a whimsical throwaway joke at the time I wrote this endpiece in 2017 or so; years later, for reasons to be detailed in Empowered vol. 12, that became rather less of a whimsical throwaway joke.

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.
