Interesting... I don't really recall seeing a pencilled coloured piece before, it's almost always been inkwash.

When I first saw this, I thought maybe the owner had colored it, but the more I looked at it, the more convinced it looked like Stan actually did the colors. I also remember Stan mentioning using colored pencils at SDCC at least one year. He did one of the sketches for the Michael J. Fox charity in colored pencil one year.
