Panel 1: Note that Electric Ilya's Anguilloforme face was photoreferenced from images of an actual electric eel.

Panel 2: Note also that I sensibly recycled the foreground shot of the hostages and "electrocution eelbot" from the earlier panel that established 'em fifteen pages ago, then pasted in the slightly different background element of Emp and Electric Ilya.

Panel 4: WHAT THE F**K IS EMP DOING?????? Find out tomorrow, folks!

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. 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.
