Cutaway idea

Trying a couple of things here. First, I wanted to quickly look at the mix of pencil and ink wash (nice but not what I wanted). Second, I wanted a plotty line of dialogue to be suddenly followed by a very still moment (this, I did like)

Meg comes up with her tagline

More unused scenes and tries

Aspect Ratio

I'm a film buff. At one point I was going to draw every frame of The Monsoons 

as a cinema ratio. Here's a test scene with all the major ones from 4x3 to scope. The

scene was drawn entirely for this purpose and never intended to be part of the rool thing.

Scrapbook bits

I'm working on the thing rather than writing about it lately so here's some filler, some character studies that won't appear in the book but might be good to see after reading all that background:

RUTH

I've said a bit about her but haven't shown.
Well, this is a median sketch but she isn't
much changed from this.

MARTY

A touch too Nick Cave for my purposes

but you get the idea.

FAILED GAIL

GAIL and House

Done more for the dialogue and 

house by night than anything else.

Fragment with group

The boy in the bandana is Joshua. I've said nothing 

about him here yet but he's one of the four.

Anyway, back to it.
