Panel 1: Whoops, behold a common problem with drawing helmet-wearing characters: You wind up drawing the helmeted head way too small, as with Manny here, as you’re often unconsciously visualizing the proportions of a bare-headed human. Think of the alarmingly small-headed, CG-generated clone troopers from the Star Wars prequels (IIRC), as opposed to the almost amusingly “big-headed” look of, say, TIE fighter pilots in the original trilogy, which damn near evoke Spaceballs’ Dark Helmet.

Panel 2: Note, in every panel on this page, that I am very, very fond of “tilting the camera” in my comic work, just to add a little interest to the shots, in my eyes at least. Plus, I often feel that "tilts" allow me to fit elements into a panel that might otherwise require a greater amount of space.

Panel 3: To my annoyance, a fair chunk of the time when I draw the costume of dWARf! at right, I forget to draw that g-d chevron on his costume’s chest. In fact, I forgot to do so on this volume’s very cover illustration! (Dagnabbit.) And in case you’d forgotten the Suprahuman Treatment Wing from its introduction earlier in the volume, check out its first appearance here.
