Panel 4: With Spooky's hair, behold an early example of the artistic flourish of "leave the top of the head's line art open and incomplete," which I've used on occasion ever since. TBH, this riff arguably might work better with blonde characters like Emp or Mindf**k, but here the approach still worked out nicely (IMHO).

Today’s Patreon update: In an attempt to scratch 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, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
