Beautifully done JMC, good job. You already know I really like the sage mode panel, and the Kakashi panel. The Pain panel is the only one that is new to me, and you did a good job with that one as well. The only thing I don't like about the Pain panel, is the shadow under his nose. I think you were trying to emphasize the indention above the center top lip, and under the nose, to make it more realistic, but I'm not sure if I like how you did it. Of course that's just my guess. Anyways, like some people already mentioned, you improved quite a bit over the year, so keep up the good work. All that practice is finally starting to pay off, so that's good. Well thanks again for taking into consideration, the advice I gave you about the sage mode panel. I'm glad I was able to help you out, even if it was just a little bit.
