We continue serialization of the collected edition of the six-issue 2018 miniseries Empowered and Sistah Spooky’s High School Hell, written and laid out by me and featuring art and lettering by Guest Artist Carla “Speed” McNeil and coloring by Jenn Manley Lee.
Panels 1-4: Here, my layouts worked up a fun little riff of intestine-based panel borders, which was one of my earlier stabs at customized, thematic gutters; as you will see well down the road when Empowered vol. 12 serializes here, I went hog-wild with the custom borders in that volume (often to my own chagrin, as such gutters can prove very, very time-consuming indeed).
Next week on the webcomic, brace for queasy ickiness as those crazy ol' metaphorical tables do indeed start a-turnin'!
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, such as updates on fantasy test projects The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!-Adam Warren
