Which EMPOWERED project's roughs and script should I serialize next? (Patreon)
Content
It's been a few months since I wrapped up serialization of my thumbnails for the six-issue miniseries Empowered and Sistah Spooky's High School Hell, and I've been thinking that I should start posting my initial roughs for another Empowered project as a biweekly or monthly feature.
This time around, I have a slightly different approach in mind re: posting the thumbnails. I was thinking of alternating each page rough with its accompanying portion of the script, featuring panel descriptions and final dialogue for said page. I'd probably post 4-5 pages out of each issue with each post, lest each installment grow too off-putting and cumbersome.
The options below that I'd like you folks to choose from will mostly seem familiar (save for one) to Empowered readers, as they're all Emp one-shots or miniseries that have been published from 2010 through 2018.
However, one choice is very different, and that's Empowered and the Giant-Size Issues, a never-published project originally intended for a Very Special Guest Artist. I wound up ditching this fully scripted and thumbnailed miniseries mainly for practical reasons, as its two-issue, 60-page(!) format was less than ideal from a perspective of "getting the artist paid a reasonable pagerate." (More on this matter later, if/when I end up serializing the project.)
Ah, but another reason that I gave up on Empowered and the Giant-Size Issues was that the mini was largely based on material from the Twitter-format, YEAR ONE-ish prose experiment I Am Empowered, and I found that project's relentlessly downbeat depiction of Hyper-Insecure, Self-Doubting Emp to be increasingly at odds with the more confident and self-accepting Emp from the later volumes of the Empowered graphic novels.
Anyhoo, lemme know which Empowered option you'd prefer to see serialized with roughs and script excerpts—or, for that matter, if you don't wanna see any of 'em serialized, as I can tell you that the Empowered and Sistah Spooky's High School Hell thumbnails were pretty consistently among the least-liked post formats on this here Patreon.
