Since I know this page would likely take at least the next 3 hours of my day, and I'm still on a relaxed schedule, I'll just put it away for the night and handle the remaining stuff tomorrow. This backdrop alone will probably take a few hours, then there's the other 5 panels.. But all the ink and flat coloring of the characters is done, so it should be a fair breeze to do it a'morrow.

In the meantime, enjoy panel 1 rough.
