Panel 4: Gotta say, SKROOM is a sound FX that I might never have used before (or since, as far as I can recall).
Panel 5: Ehh, this seems like more of an "insert panel" tucked into the previous one than panel 4 being a proper "L-shaped panel" (per the riff I borrowed from Frank Thorne's Red Sonja), but YMMV.
Tomorrow, I'll make another attempt to speculate on why the temporary shutdown in Empowered vol. 11 production during mid-2017 happened, okay?
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!
