EMPOWERED vol.12's opening page of "Young Emp & Superfriends!" (Patreon)
Content
Behold, the surprisingly difficult first page of a brief Empowered vol. 12 scene that I've dubbed "Young Emp and Superfriends," along with my page rough(s) and sketchy character designs for the sequence.
UPDATE: Tacked on a side-by-side image showing roughs and final art, worked up for promoting this post on Twitter. Yay?
Turns out that Artist Me just did not feel like drawing this scene one bit, but I was forced to stagger through the pages regardless, as these pre-teen character variations actually appear on the book's cover illo. Whoops! (Actually, one positive element of this wackiness was the amusing friction between a rather persnickety Spooky and a wholly nonchalant Ninjette, an unplanned riff which proved surprisingly entertaining.)
Also, this scene helps set up the volume's concluding action; speaking of which, this is prrrrobably the last Empowered vol. 12 preview you're gonna see for a while, as I'm now working on the book's final, SPOILER-intensive chapter.
Yeahp, we are now in the final, two-month push to complete this long-gestating installment. Yippee!
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Not sure, TBH, but something will appear on M/W/F of next week!
