Looking great! I love looking at this development process, and especially the room layout thumbnail. Nice exercise, and I like the maquette idea. I've done some sculpture myself but I really oughta make a head or two for the BBA comic so I know if I got the angles right in case something looks off.
A suggestion for future books, you might want to be careful about allowing the background to get too detailed. I think the density of texture and lighting sometimes distracts from the actual characters. Maybe allowing the background to be more of a loosely detailed wash will help for those close-up scenes. For more landscape-ish panels or any scene where the "camera" isn't quite so close to the characters, the density makes sense. It'll probably help with the workload as well.

My god it's absolutely amazing blotch (I know you hear that all the time, but WOW!)
You can draw/paint intricate machinery, landscapes, characters (and their expressions), and architecture with unparralelled mastery. Considering most people can only do a select few of those (and not nearly as well), you really deserve the praise everyone gives you.
Anyways, amazing work as always, if I had the money I'd go buy this comic the very instant it was available.
