The ear I've shaped after my own, using two mirrors.

The image showing the hand is intended to show that the veins and surrounding tissue collapse. I don't actually like the picture. But I've planned the panel composition having rather loose ideas for the images in mind. Then I needed a third detail picture and wanted not to waste excessively much time hoping for a better inspiriation to emerge. So I stayed with the hand.

In chapter one I stuck to a more strikt format of three strips per page at one to three images of equal height per strip. Due to the blackness the frames were not well defined. So I concluded that allowing for a more creative use of panels could give rise to ambiguousities. From here on I'm being more creative. I don't intent to just give a temporeal order to multiple images. In my view the panel configuration is a narrative device just as the content of the panels themselves.

For giving the impression of the body lying actually on a floor it was necessary to have the floor not be an evenly colored area. The pattern is repetitive as is the one on the real life laminate which served as my inspiration here.
