| THE VALIANT #2 P. 22. 2014. Photoshop, 2750 × 4175 px. |
Quite a bit went into this page, reference-wise, but the only pic I took of myself wasn't all that much help. Mostly, there was just a lot of "stuff" needed to make it look like a legitimate ops center. Most reference gathering is like this — you just need to know what something looks like so it doesn't look too fake.

Down below, you'll notice that I ended up having to replace one of the characters on the big screen. Not sure what the deal was, but Shadowman had to be removed. That doesn't happen too often, but I leave it to editors to keep continuity in check.
I just copied and pasted a panel from a previous page (same deal for the small screens). I don't always care for the way that looks, as there are issues of scale, but the deadline helped me make that decision. The screen was drawn as a separate file (a Photoshop Smart Object) and skewed into perspective.
