Coming in super late but I'm seconding the gratitude for showing us all the different tries it took on that last panel, since that's a huge frustration for me too. Something I really noticed, though, is how FAST you iterated through those multiple tries - just a minute or two on each one, 10 mins total, whereas for me I can spend hours messing with a rough sketchy pose at the manikin stage. I think the key is you're noticing the flaws much quicker and at a much earlier stage (I know for that first try I was like "WTF, that looks great" before you erased it).
I also notice that, when you're roughing in the figures, you're not always starting with manikins, but sometimes more basic compositional shapes to represent the entire body - like using just a huge cylinder in perspective for the hero on your last try. Great way to focus on composition first before getting into the form - and it seems to make your roughs go a lot faster! I'll definitely be trying different shapes instead of my usual circle-based manikins in the hopes it speeds my agonizingly slow process.
