Panel 1: Electric Ilya's camera survived! Yay!

Panel 2: You might keep this image in mind for when we see Empowered vol. 9's otherwise somewhat puzzling back-cover illo in another week or two. (Yeahp, we're almost done with this volume at last, folks.)

Also, a friend of mine pointed out something interesting that I'm not sure I did intentionally: Though Alpha Manny would've had no great difficulty figuring out Emp's civilian identity, he apparently never did—or, at least, he's always envisioning our heroine with her mask on.

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. Golly!
