Here are layout, rough and final pages from Part 2. In the actual book (bottom page) Rose is threatening the Union officer with her sword, but it wasn't always that way. Having found the gun in the beginning of part 2, I was anxious for Rose to use it in a threatening manner in order to begin the rift that would eventually happen between her and Isabel.
After I drew the confrontation that comes later in the book where Rose threatens Izzy with the gun, I felt that the scene would lose its power if Rose had done the same thing previously, so the scene below was changed to the sword.
Changes from a visual standpoint occur between the layout and rough. Panel 2 was changed to a lower angle to increase drama. Panel 4 was a closer shot to increase tension. Panel 5 was drawn from a lower angle and also split in half by the tentpole to show the division between Rose and the authority figure. Her sword crosses that line, into what would later be deemed unacceptable behavior by Isabel.

Beautyfull! I really like better the last panel of the first sketch page. Well... let's see what's next.
Very cool to hear your thoughts on this Ted.
I thought the confrontation with the sisters and the gun was powerful, and your decisions on these pages from rough to final really add to the final effect. Great stuff
Awesome. Yeah, yur right. Makes sense. It's funny, when things are working we assume that's how it worked from the begining, but the evolution is so interesting to hear.
