Order out of Chaos (Kazuya Minekura, SAIYUKI)

Part 2 of what looks to be three posts about manga art and how and why it works, as instigated by coffee_and_ink. Two big pictures, about 130K each.

( This time ... SAIYUKI! )

2.1 - SAIYUKI Continued

I've been reading the flood of responses to various posts of mine in the past 24-48 hours and enjoying them a great deal, and I shall do my utmost to reply to them sometime in the next 24-48 hours. :) Despite it being spring break, I've got to get some actual work done today.

HEAVY image warning in this one, with 3 or 4 that are up to 200K each.
