2 chapters left!

It may not have been the greatest idea trying to make a comic out of an entire novel. I'm only just now on Chapter 11 (out of 12). I'll be able to finish my rough draft of the whole novel, but I'm only going to refine (and pencil and maybe ink) only a small portion.
I've been spending a lot of time on www.posemaniacs.com (thank you for showing me that site, Sara) trying to get human body proportions down and learn more about anatomy and such. I think I've finally got the lady-hips right.

Wish me luck!

PS Here are some pictures of my progress:

some sketches

Doing research for this project is way fun. I have three books that just reference for fashion, furniture, mechanics and architecture of the early 1900s. I even got a book on Soviet propaganda posters that is great for manly-man poses and group shots of people working together. Reading comics analytically is really interesting, too. There are so many techniques that I never really realized were there when I was just reading them for fun.

I also have some pictures of a few pages that I've sketched (these are in no way even close to the final version). My scanner is not cooperating with my computer, so I took these with a camera. Sorry for the quality. If you need me to, I'll totally post close-ups so you can see things better.
