EMPOWERED vol.12's "Scary, Badass, Violent Emp" first-draft pages!
🕑 Added 2021-02-11 13:33:44 +0000 UTCMore from Empowered vol.12 today, folks! Above is the second page from a scene featuring the Emp iteration I've dubbed "Scary, Badass, Violent Emp," for reasons that will become obvious in successive pages.
Haven't corrected or done white-line overlays for the Emp intro page above, so consider that a work-in-progress preview. However, can't say the same for the next page...

...as I stalled out on drawing said page this week; after struggling to finish it, I scrapped the page and am now working on a thematically similar but otherwise quite different approach, one that should be more appealing to me as an artist (I hope).
Long-time Empowered readers should be able to guess that these hapless schmos were being puppeted by more iterations of the parasitizing "smart gun" from the one-shot Empowered: Pow Pew Pew! Alas, I couldn't muster any enthusiasm for drawing either tacticool-garbed schmos or high-tech-y guns for another 7-8 pages, so now I'm going back to the drawing board for something more "Nirasawa-ish," if you will.
TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: More Vintage Con Sketches, as usual for a Friday.

Her physique changing is very interesting. I'm assuming that's referencing back to when she said that any workouts she does while wearing the suit have no effect on her body. Oh, Suit, the mysteries you hold....

I quite like the "cinnamon bun nature" bit; might have to borrow that!

She is scary looking. I don't see any traces of her usual cinnamon bun nature.

The Emp we never knew....

Two thoughts here... First, I suspect these poor sods are going to experience a thrashing usually reserved for the villains in a latter-day Frank Miller comic. (Or maybe that moment in Batman Returns when he straight up murders a guy by shoving a bomb in his pants and throwing him off a ledge.) Two, extrapolating from that... I'm guessing her version of Thugboy got his death wish. By her hands.

Starting to wonder if those parasite guns are another alien life form that's loose on Emp-Earth. Scary Emp looks pretty cool, too.

Getting a real "Raised by Granny Goodness" vibe here.

Not sure if terrified or aroused. So I'll just be Scaroused

Sweet! Dig the electric white hair design/effect and the claw finger effect!
