DreamSolver: then and now part deux

Another Redrawn example from the DreamSolver Book. like the last ne i kind of think it shows a bit how I've progressed recently. Dream Solver is a heavy Dialogue book so I've been a little sparse on some background details but i think its should set it off ok when it has the letter art over the top.
the original page i couldn't even bare to spend the time colouring i wanted to re do it so bad so i didn't even attempt it. the newer panels also show that i've been using a brush pen a lot more. still not completely at home with that but it feels so nice and natural when it works. i need to add more shadow into these but another confidence factor i'm working on.
