EMPOWERED Ninjette librarian?

Behold, yet another oddly verbose commissioned sketch I'll be dropping off at the San Diego Comic-Con later this month, using characters from my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" series EMPOWERED, published by Dark Horse Comics.

Anyhoo, this one's a reference to the "Sexy Librarian" cosplay occasionally employed by our heroine Empowered...

...but this time around, her rather (considerably) less well-endowed friend Ninjette is wearing the costume, and seems a tad crestfallen at the results. But never fear, Kaburagi-san*; the Caged Demonwolf has your back!**

Anyhoo, you can see more EMPOWERED artwork in my gallery here [link] ...and say, here's the cover for the latest EMP installment (volume 6), due out in September 2010:



*Ninjette's real name being Kozue Kaburagi (or "Kaburagi Kozue" in proper Japanese fashion, not that she herself is actually Japanese; it's a long story, folks).

**Or, more accurately, "the Caged Demonwolf has his gaze*** intently fixed upon your backside."

***A gaze which burns with the fire of a thousand suns, needless to say.
