Whole lotta inking on this page, you might notice, which might have made things a bit easier on my drawing hand—as opposed to having to grind out all this imagery in pencil—but certainly did my productivity no favors. Then again, that was true for all of Empowered vol. 11, during which I was only rarely able to write and draw more than roughly 15 pages per month; needless to say, you want to be in the more viable production range of 20-30pp per month. (Oh, well.)

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.
