DISTRESSED DAMSELS: S'more new EMPOWERED pose rough sketch sets!
🕑 Added 2024-08-30 13:18:44 +0000 UTCSo, a while ago, I showed you fine folks an old Empowered rough sketch from circa vol. 3 (meaning 2008 or so), that would've been the basis for a commission featuring an unmasked Emp restrained in a King-Kong-style "human sacrifice" pose:
Wellp, I imported that scan into Clip Studio Paint (iOS version) and revised it with the figure proportions and art approach I use nowadays:
Didn't have the time or energy to work up a full King Kong sacrificial setting beyond her, alas.
Several months earlier, in a desperate attempt to work up Distressed Damsels content, I worked up some Empowered sketches based on an old Spider-Woman story from the 70s that had already been the basis of some older commissions:
...including this recent Ninjette sketch:
Anyhoo, here's the Spider-Woman interior page that the ensuing sketch sets were riffing on:
And an earlier sketch set based loosely on that scene, though I didn't bother actually drawing "The Man Who Couldn't Die," of course:
Wellp, noodled around with s'more pose roughs continuing the scene (sorta):
These are decent enough poses that I can reuse for future comics layouts, whether Empowered (down the road) or The Chaste and the Chained (in the near future).
Another sketch set of random Emp DiD poses:
Yeah, Emp nowadays is not only notably more zaftig than in days of yore, but her hair is growing wavier and wavier over time; go figure. If/when I get around to producing new Empowered content, both Emp and the series as a whole will likely look quite different from the earlier installments.
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, but something should be coming up in the next M/W/F slot. Let's find out together, shall we?
UPDATE: Saturday should see the release of August's Exclusive Monthly Bonus Post for the $10 and $20 tiers, though at present I'm not sure what content will be included in said post.

Nothing beats classic DiD Emp drawings.

There are some amazing poses and expressions in that sketch set -- so many ideas for Emp doing a little bit of "acting" in service of an escape (or she's just at home wit Thugboy & 'Jette and role playing). As always, these posts are a delight. Thank you for sharing both the fun, and the inspiration & context that helped bring them to life!

Love the look of all these pose roughs. Great stuff!
