Manga, sketches and panel layouts, the lost project "Shanghai Express"

Manga, sketches and panel layouts, the lost project "Shanghai Express". This is a lost project of mine, I thought I will once again pick it up and continue (only has so far 4 pages, but I will remake pretty much from page 3 on...and it will be in black and white.)
So I started this like 3-4 years ago.
So the plan is that I will post all the update and video of how I did the panel and such. So it will be like behind the scene how to and stuff along with the Manga itself. The project name is, for now, "Shanghai Express."

It sets around 1910 in China, but mostly fiction with some historical ref...(maybe).
Anyway, there will also be tons of creatures, Western vampires, Chinese Zombie, magic, super-kungfu, etc. I hope I could at least finish one chapter for now. :)
*I know...i know...if any of you have follow my "Dogs of War", that one....is on a long vacation...until then.

Here are some sample pages #1 and #2 (I did these 3-4 years ago so the art didn't live up to my nowadays standard. But they are pleasant to look at, hope you like them.)


Here are some of the thumbnails and sketches planning for these two pages. I know perspective are tough, I will make tutorials of some similar stuff one of these days. You can count on it. :)
