I really love the Madara panel. And I think you should give the big panel a shot. When you get a chance, you should look at my coloring of this spread. If you need any ideas on how to go about coloring the top panel. It's in my gallery.
Anyways, I love your works and your lines, in general.
Also, Shade made some nice lines for this spread. I imagine that inking the whole top panel would be hell.
