Panel 4: Gotta say, the somewhat oleaginous obsequiousness of the "semiautonomous drone" from this Hardpoint sequence has always amused me perhaps more than it should.

Panel 5: Time for another shocking reversal, webcomic readers! Looks like Hardpoint's Bubblegum Crisis-esque "hardsuit" is about to be put to the test.

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. 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. Golly!
