DISTRESSED DAMSELS: More EMPOWERED "Superdickery Emp" rough sketches!
🕑 Added 2021-03-10 14:07:08 +0000 UTCFollowing up from a recent Empowered vol.12 preview featuring a page of Emp in civilian garb (however unclothed she might be) from a "secret identity shenanigans" sequence, here are more rough sketches I did whilst pondering further expansion of that scene. (Note that I attached the aforementioned page onto the end of today's image gallery.)
Note that this iteration of Emp has been unofficially dubbed "Fetchingly Bepantsed Emp (with Bonus Eyeglasses)" or "FBEwBE" abbreviated, for future art-req reference.
Per a Big Spender art request, I sketched a Superdickery Emp version of this batcrap Lois Lane cover:
Note that, in my version, FBEwBE is tied to one of the Mercedes Benz trucks from Raiders of the Lost Ark, because why not:
The next one (on a page of assorted Civilian Emp sketches) is based on a famous Jimmy Olsen cover:
The final one was randomly scribbled on a dialogue sheet for some Empowered vol.12 pages you'll be seeing shortly:
.. and is based on a DiD scene from a 70s comic adaptation of The Mighty Isis (drawn in part by Wally Wood, BTW!) that's been the basis of several commissions and con sketches over the decades. (Nowhere near as frequently requested a source as that better-known late-70s Spider-Woman vs. Hangman scene, howeva.) Needless to say, the Isis version did not feature the heroine's civilian identity winding up Fetchingly Bepantsed by the Egyptian sorcerer dude.
While these roughs are amusing, I'm prrrrrobably not going to do any more actual Superdickery pages in Empowered vol.12, though I'm not entirely certain about that.
TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: Possibly more Scary Badass Emp pages if I finish scanning the g-d pages; if not, probably more work stages from the story Empowered: Who Da Ubermensch?

I mean, Emp possibly being dead/superdead was teased, Emp thinks she's fat, and this alternaEmp seems reasonably evil so we're three for three here.

Gotta love Silver Age comic covers. "Empowered is now dead!" "Empowered is now evil!" "Empowered is now fat!"

Hahahah FBEwBE! These are a lot of fun, Adam. One has to wonder though, does Emp (or Fetchingly Bepantsted Emp, rather) own a pair of underwear that doesn't have holes in it?

Emp is always fetching. Wait, that makes her sound like a dog. Er... I like how even in these situations, Emp is usually 'FML, this shit again?'

Thanks so much, Adam. I know you've said before that making progress on this volume has been especially challenging and want you to know I've absolutely loved all the volume 12 content you've shared so far.

I assume "FBEwBE" is pronounced "Feebeeweebee", which only further amuses me.
