I like both examples. I didn't answer to your earlier post about the colour examples with Morgana, as I had already written something on the webcomic, but didn't someone suggest sticking to monochrome and having the odd coloured, larger image or highlight? Anyway, that is what would come to mind right now for me. I love your monochrome style very much, and the lettering example above is to my eyes just perfect like this, and would do great like this or in the maximum with some coloured highlights. The coloured panel is great like this, too, the colouring works very well and is very comic-styled, I think.
As to the letters: the digital lettering looks very good and also very familiar ;o). I must confess that in general, I prefer not-handwritten lettering in comics, except when it's extremely clear, as I often have difficulties deciphering it. It's all right if it's in my first language, but if I read a comic in French or English, it can get difficult, particularly with unknown words or names; even though I'm fluent in both languages.

Just took a break reading your comment on my comment on Morgana's colouring: now comparing it to the examples here, I must add that I would love the pencilled colouring in, ay, a picture book/illustrated book, but for a comic the more intense colouring like hiere probably works better. But I also findt that it's very, very difficult to answer objectively. I'm still seeing everything you draw as an "isolated" work of art and evaulate it like this, not a part of a larger project *g*.
