Panel 1: This image is directly based on a quite striking panel from a 70s Marvel story featuring Tigra, in which our feline heroine gets pissed off and tears the mask off a female foe, though (IIRC) Tigra retracted her claws just enough to avoid raking out her victim's eyes. Anyhoo, this oddly indelible and fairly horrific image from my childhood stint of Marvel reading clearly made a notable long-term impression on me, given that I was able to recall this one random shot 40-odd years later.

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!
