This is a sketch for the last page that hasn't in any way been tackled yet. The image has always looked pretty much like this but I've flipped the composition to break up the direction of the pages.

I think it might tie into the spiral stairway image, which I love, that curls back and forth. By breaking the direction up it gets a little more twisted and turned in on itself.

When I worked as a storyboard artist I was always prevented from playing with peoples heads like this. I was trying to make people feel uncomfortable in places, cutting a little too close, showing not quite enough to make a picture, that sort of thing. I did a fight sequence in a Duckman cartoon where I'd inserted no narrative. It was just random acts of violence cut together. It was just about 30 seconds of 'too close for comfort' groin stomps, a shot of fingers and a foot coming down hard, cut to a face pain distorted face etc.

Needless to say, I loved it. The producers were not so happy it seems. My director at the time, a guy called Stever Loter, faught for every last shot (or at least told me he did) and we did manage to keep a few at least.

I wasn't too upset, I knew it would be a long shot for this sort of boarding to go through the process uncut. The truth is that after those timing jackals had done their dirty deeds I could barely recognize my own work when it was played back to me, so its not like my intent was ever likely to survive intact anyway.
