Your frustration increases my admiration for your passion/ work ethic, JB.
I like the revised panel.

Feeling a mite dissatisfied with the loose pencils on
the Grey house, so....

As an artist, I know how you feel, but I think readers
glance at these kind of panels, get the idea, and move
on (letting their brain fill in the details). I think
the panel worked just fine in that regard.

I feel like a kid again!
I really appreciate the 'pages only' thread JB. You miss one day on this thread and a new page may be buried 4 pages back.
JB's story telling is a real "page turner". What I mean by that is , whenever he can manage he seems to leave us with that last panel that gets you excited about the next page. Like mini cliffhangers thru out the book.

Every page ended on a cliffhanger, and somehow, it seems, that got implanted in my brain as how even none serialized pages should be presented. Even if all the reader has to do is turn the page, there should be something there to make that reader WANT to turn the page. (Doesn't always work, of course. One of the joys of working thru IDW was having no ads breaking up the flow of my story -- and especially not having to worry that ad sales [who were all out of damns to give for artistic content] would arbitrarily change the order of the ad flats, and something I had set up to be a left hand page would be on the right.)

So for this particular exercise/project/thingy had you already figured out all the story beats through to their conclusion before starting your art?

I just have trouble believing that we're getting to see these pages for free!

It's obviously going to end with an epic battle with
Colossus taking out the U-Foes by himself.
