Description Empowered in a pin-up-y show of strength, as she prances around with a 8,000 hp top fuel dragster engine.

I just started this out as a sketch in preparation for drawing Adam Warren's titillating titular character, for my work in the Empowered Special #4:Animal Style, coming to a comic store near you this coming June 5th. (Gotta get that floggery in, folks. )

In part, this drawing was inspired by an old Six Million Dollar Man action figure, I had as a kid. To demonstrate bionic strength, the figure came with a scale engine block, for it to lift when you pressed the orange button on its back.

I resisted the urge to put Emp in a red track suit.

Yea, I can totally see that. This is one of the first drawings I ever did of Emp; long before I got the hang of the whole wrinkle-free aspect of the outfit.

Partially colored my friend. Wife in hospital again and hopefully we get answers and a solution.

Talk about your good news and bad news. How is your wife doing? I hope it's nothing life threatening.

Oh God, I remember that toy. You could see through its eye.

Indeed. In retrospect, I'm surprised that 8 year old me didn't find that toy more creepy, with that hole in its head.

It's nice to see a happy Emp.
At least no one has asked her to be a car model...no doubt she wouldn't feel all smiley having to pose on a hood of some guy's ride.

I was thinking about doing something like that, with Emp dressed as a racing queen with an umbrella.

I can't decide whether to put her in a short little racing queen outfit with her mask so folks will recognize her, or just her costume.

You could do both. Do one of Emp as the college aged woman earning extra money modeling that has her on the hood of a "real" looking car. She would be undercover of course.
Then do a mirror image one of her as Emp on a slightly more "heroic" and unrealistic car.

Hmmm, I am actually considering drawing her in her college age hoodie. [link]
