EMPOWERED vol.12 finale sneak peek, plus D&D-character Xmas card!
🕑 Added 2022-01-10 14:01:04 +0000 UTCMy buffer of scheduled posts is nonexistent at the moment, so here's a hasty fill-in post, kind Patrons!
First up is a provocative yet not entirely SPOILER-y image from Empowered vol.12's climactic story, now underway as I grind through my final two months on the long-gestating volume:
An earlier Empowered vol.12 preview showed the Uncaged Demonwolf (sorry, no time to scroll back through my archive to find said post), hence my "not-too-SPOILER-y" reasoning. You're prolly not gonna see much more of this climactic chapter, though.
Next up is a improvised Christmas card I gussied up for my sister, based on (I think) some sort of graduation-themed card:
...which I spotted whilst checking out at Target, and realized I could use as the basis for an illo featuring my sister's half-orc paladin character from the on-and-off D&D campaign I'm DMing:
At left is a Neo-Otyugh beastie I subbed in for a dragon at the climactic encounter of the Forge of Fury D&D module; I did so because the adventuring party had already slain a (titular) dragon at the end of The Dragon of Icespire Peak module, so screw that.
The idea with the Neo-Otyugh was that the critter was telepathically projecting an image of a royal damsel in distress to lure in hapless adventurers to prey on; the joke, here, was that over time the monster had become fixated on its self-perception of actually being a pretty, pretty princess. (Y'know, I might actually use this riff in a future fantasy-based comic.)
Anyhoo, like many other things in my life, the D&D campaign is on hold until Empowered vol. 12 is finally wrapped up. Speaking of which, time to wrap up this post and get to work on today's Emp page!
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, as the buffer's currently empty! (Well, stand by for something on Wednesday, folks.)

I feel this makes his odds of survival drop dramatically...

First, been waiting for this scene, and I suspect it will be bittersweet if I have read the signs correctly. Visually it definitely does not disappoint. Second, yes, that would be awesome in that fantasy project you have been developing, and I would love to see that. Last, one of my all-time fave monsters! His old bendy action figure is in the 'desperately needs to be dusted' section of my desk, but he's there!

“…future fantasy based comic”: I like the sound of that!

Looks like the chained demonwolf is not so chained anymore
Man, i should have stayed away from the notifications 😅 never expected to see the Caged Demonwolf... Uncaged, it's epic on his own

The best part of the preview image is the thought that even in his unbound form, the Caged Demonwolf is _still_ going to be the overly-verbose horndog we know and love. Also, I would pay so much more than regular cards for screwball birthday cards like that.

A bit bittersweet for me. I would have loved to be blown away by CDW's release
