 My attempt-in-progress at coloring this page in retro style. Nothing flashy, I am old school, bright/fun colors are all you need.The inker is Scott Barnett. Still some work to do here, but I must say this is quite fun!

…coloring this page in retro style…•• Even "retro style" would have a greater range of tones in the backgrounds.

I'm still fooling around with the backgrounds JB.Were you speaking if the sky in particular? I'm thinking of lightening up the background so the characters are more the focal point.

In a deep, dark, dense jungle, I don't think "lighter" would be the way to go.

I suppose not, I've been back and forth several times. I could always make this a dusk/night time scene. Was there mention of the time of day this might take place?

Indeed he does. Digital coloring is very forgiving, I'll be changing that. Thanks JB for your input. Much appreciated!

Rob, you might consider adding Nightcrawler's plunging back neckline since it is black and can be added with you colours very easily.

I've been noticing people scattered around the web overreacting (!!) to my comment that these ELSEWHEN pages have been "falling out of my pencil" at the rate of about one per hour. Again, it seems, I must emphasize that this is an average. with some taking longer, and some taking less. It's all about what's in the pictures. Kitty's solo adventure, with more detailed technical backgrounds, took more.When I started, It took me about two hours to do a page of full pencils. One of the things that got me my first work at Marvel, in fact, was my speed. Production Manager John Verpoorten loved the fact that he could send me a 17 page plot and expect in back in less than 10 days. Fortunately, as I got technically more proficient, I did not lose my speed, and, in fact, as I have learned just how much can be entrusted to the inker (not having to fill in black areas completely, for instance) my penciling speed has increased.

That is such a great skill - It's one thing to be fast and just average, but to be that fast and produce high quality art is impressive! When you start, do you already 'see' the whole page? Do you do those tiny thumbnails first?
