page process and full PSD file for pg 245

hello! this is a page that game me some trouble but that i think turned out very well in the end. 

as you can see, a few things-- i had a lot of trouble posing raina in the last panel and ended up using one of manga studio's 3d drawing dolls as a pose reference. this is actually too time consuming to do unless i can't find an applicable reference, so I don't do it very often. 

I also took a few tries to break up the action readably, which i think really worked out great! the original thumbnail for essie's action was just a way of laying it out, i would never have really staged it that way haha
