With this week's commentaries, I'll attempt to revisit the workflow stoppage that occurred twenty-odd pages ago when I suddenly became myself unable to force Artist Me to draw any more pages of finished artwork for the book, which luckily hadn't yet "gone on the schedule" and thus made an indefinite pause in production possible.

I belatedly remembered that this Empowered vol. 11 stoppage must have occurred at some point in mid-2017, which is a rather interesting timeframe given that I would've been roughly six months or so into my ongoing effort of cranking out a set of life drawing sketches almost every day. (Nowadays, if I get in more than one or two such sets drawn in Clip Studio Paint on a monthly basis I count myself lucky.) So the issue at hand on Empowered was not drawing as such, of which I was already doing plenty at the start of each (potential) workday. Mysterious!

More on this matter tomorrow (probably)!

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 project The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
