Description

From the upcoming Empowered vol.12, a safari-garbed Sistah Spooky gets a hug from a very friendly saber-toothed cat in a scene that rather shamelessly self-homages a Mughi bit from Dirty Pair: Plague of Angels. Note that the whiskers were drawn on a separate overlay, then inverted in Photoshop and layered over the pencil art; I've only now gotten around to using this technique (which was possible in comics publishing long before the advent of Photoshop, BTW), but gotta say that it sure beats trying to achieve the same effect with hand-applied white-out directly on the original art.

Can't give you an ETA on Empowered vol.12, as I'm not putting it on the schedule until the book's at least 75% completed, and I'm a long ways off from that number.
