DISTRESSED DAMSELS: Early designs for EMPOWERED's Ocelotina!
🕑 Added 2021-04-07 13:01:02 +0000 UTCBehold, my earliest design sketches for Empowered's Ocelotina, who popped up in vol.3 as a faux cape ripping off and monetizing Emp's "bondage-prone superheroine" shtick; I've also attached the first three pages of that vol.3 appearance at the end of the image gallery.
Note that, in one preliminary sketch, she was drawn wearing a mask...

...but for reasons unknown I experience massive difficulties drawing any type of mask which fully reveals the wearer's eyes, so I ditched this design element immediately. (By the way, I find the Batgirl-style "mask with exposed skin around the eyes" even more difficult to draw, which is why few or no such masks appear in the Empverse.)
TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: Another installment in the unofficial Work Stage Thursday feature, I suspect.

That last drawing of her (#5) is great. A rare shot of her looking like she's begging for help.

She's got the confidence in her booty Emp should have. Bit of a Adam West-Age Batman vibe to her unused mask design, yes.

...oh no. I JUST realized that her name is a portmanteau of ocelot and Latina.

Always amused by her "I guess my eyes ARE down here" costume design.
