More pages (and page roughs) from EMPOWERED vol.12! (Patreon)

Behold, some recent pages from Empowered vol.12, taking place well after the damsel-in-distress flashback scene I serialized here earlier. The actual point of those previous pages (besides delivering the book's mandatory DiD content, that is) was that the bad guys  couldn't explain why the hell they were distressing Emp so thoroughly; now, in the present-day scene that follows, Emp and Spooky are about to have a Very Significant Conversation about why this odd phenomenon might be happening to her.

Anyhoo, enjoy the finished pages and the roughs that preceded 'em. Note, in both pages, that I'm rather clumsily using white-out (in Emp's hair, and indicating grass in the shadows of those fallen branches) to simulate the white-line FX I could easily apply if I were working digitally. Wellp, someday I hope to be able to produce finished pages entirely in digital format; ain't happening anytime soon, I'm a-fearin'.

UPDATE RE: POSSIBLE POWER AND PATREON OUTAGE: As I write this on Monday morning, my area's getting hit with an ice storm, and the power's already flickered on and off a few times. In the event of a sustained power outage of more than a day or two, your Patreon service may be disrupted; my apologies in advance. (About a decade or so ago, New England got hammered by a serious ice storm, and we lost power for ten frickin' days; I doubt this current storm will be in that league.)  

UPDATE RE: THE $20 TIER: Just now realized, as I was editing an earlier Emp v.12 post due to the linked tag above, that the recently created $20 Patron tier features a maddening error: As the $20 level didn't exist when I was posting older, tier-specific posts, many such posts aren't accessible by these Biggest of Big Spenders. Dagnabbit! (Many or most of you upgraded from $10 accounts, so you might not have noticed this issue unless you tried to go back to earlier posts.)  

So, I'll be jumping back through all of 2019's posts this week and editing 'em to make sure they're properly accessible, okay? (Not that big an inconvenience, really, as I needed to go back and delete a bunch of old art-request solicitations to clean up and streamline the feed.) 

TOMORROW: The Patrons have spoken (through a recent poll question), so Wednesday's Distressed Damsels post will feature the first installment of a commissioned short story featuring familiar lasses undercover as fantasy-milieu serving wenches. Trouble, needless to say, ensues.
