Verric speaking here!
I had to make a double page spread in colour few months ago for tMoTW Chapter One. Evi made many good suggestions but I was simply not capable of drawing her ideas. I made a boring one instead , and Jono ended up requesting a more dynamic one. With his suggestions in mind, I made the final image:

Let's talk about the background, which took a pretty long time.
I probably spent a week, on and off, drawing it in pencil. I had never tried warped perspective on that kind of scale before and I was very happy when I finished inking it. (However, looking at it now means that I see lots of mistakes.) The Copic colour version was much too bright and cheerful (limited palette) and the shadows weren't striking enough, which is why I made a seperate shadow/grey image. For some reason, trying to align 3 images was a big pain! Once I managed this, I toned down the colours in photoshop and did some other hocus pocus.
Because of the complexity of the background, the figures and the background were drawn seperately. Once they were also scanned and altered, they were whacked in front of the background - there, finished!
