Panel 1: Ouches all around!

Panels 2-3: That's a rather odd but interesting design for the somewhat wacky-looking aircraft, though at present I can't begin to tell you if it's influenced by some other, now forgotten hardware design, or if I created the dang thing entirely "off the top of the dome." (The latter is possible, for whatever that's worth.)

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.
