Panel 3: Enjoy my somewhat half-assed hand lettering for the "ACCESS DENIED" dealies, which were scribbled with Extra Fine Sharpies. (TBH, I might've been better served with digital-font lettering added after the page's art was completed.)

Panel 5: Stand by for another potentially week-long discussion of how I could've "sped up" the reader's experience of a high-speed action scene, as the issue of exactly how fast that "WEE OOO" siren is cycling will become fairly critical to the action's timing. (Er, unless I talk about something else in this week's commentaries.)

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.
