No, THIS is the final new piece of artwork from EMPOWERED vol. 12 (I hope)! (Patreon)

Despite a false alarm with a previous post, this page is prrrrrobably the last new major piece of artwork for Empowered vol. 12. I was originally planning to do the title page above as strictly a Photoshop font-based "graphic" dealie, but decided instead to do a hand-lettered version integrated with additional artwork.

Hope you'll pardon the flawed Empowered logo that I slapped into place as a mock-up, as it lacks the "pointy bits" on the letters M and W; the final, correctly pointy version will be added in Production, I can assure you.

Patrons have probably seen most of these images before in earlier Empowered vol. 12 previews, but I think at least two or three of 'em might be New to You. Yay?

For the record, Empowered and the Never-Ending Reboot was originally the title of a wildly, indeed ridiculously over-ambitious miniseries I worked up as a potential Guest Artist project; needless to say, this effort came to naught, though I might someday show you a few Guest Artist illos worked up for this sadly but understandably defunct proposal.

I wound up cannibalizing most (though not all!) of Never-Ending Reboot's storyline for a new vision of Empowered vol. 12, but left out a rather key element or two.  Someday, well after the volume is published, I'll post the original miniseries proposal here so you can check out the differences, okay?

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: I actually know what's up next as I scheduled the post last week, but I'm not going to tell you, stinker that I am! "Mwa ha ha ha," as the saying goes.
