Our story begins! This page was my first attempt at toning panels to portray depth, and I struggled a lot with it. I initially wanted a simple gradient of darker colors in the front to lighter colors in the back, but I also wanted the heroes to be bright white so they'd pop out. In the end I wound up trying to make the mid-ground lightest, with the foreground and background receding to darknes. Didn't work as well as I'd hoped.

Figuring out how to draw someone walking from behind was a challenge. I'm still not happy with the result, especially with Weck's legs. Next time I'll get some reference photos or something.
