Arapersonica Thanks man! After working on it so much I'm numb to the story and had kind of forgotten it - it's great to hear that you got a feeling from it! Thanks for the link, it's a cool look and I do know exactly what you mean and agree it'd look cool unified, I'm tempted to play around with mine some more, but not tonight, so tired XD
Hobbitt Cheers dude! So glad you think so!
Spent a good few hours today analysing and adjusting, mainly the text, in the end the changes are so small but I think very important - at least to me it flows in an agreeable way now. So so so tired and worn out from this project, have to do a solid detox from caffeine since I dosed myself so high with it this last couple weeks. But wow such an experience, really nailed down a working process for comics that I can manage. I'll write up the full process in my sketchbook after this challenge.
This is the final one, I think I'll be submitting this one, unless I get itchy fingers and try out Arapersonica's advice from above. It's probably the first piece of work that I've done where there aren't any parts that 'bother' me - I really feel that I did every part to the best of my abilities and couldn't have squeezed anymore out of me. I could spend many more hours refining stuff, especially with the tones but I am happy with how it is now.

Thought I'd share this part too; after getting everything in place how I wanted in photoshop I tried this method where you convert the image to Duotone colour mode and use a 30% Cyan colour, then you can print it and ink it without having to redraw it. After inking and scanning the blue can be removed using the 'channels' (select the blue channel, invert selection, fill with black on a new layer).
