I updated (6 hours) an old piece I made years ago, homaging 18 years from the first Mark 1 on screen when everything started. What do you guys think?

Initially, I thought "How would it look like if I added 90s style inking to a modern Marvel comic".
The first image is original panel from Rogue #1 (2026) by Luigi Zagaria. I went into it quite hyped and excited about how awesome this was going to look only to realize that the end result (second image) looked like someone applied a Borderland-esque filter to the original image and I just wasted two hours of my time.
But... once I separated my ink from the image (third image) I felt like this isn't bad so thought was gonna go further in this experiment and actually use it to make it like it was a page from an old comic. I looked for the palette of colors they used in the pre-digital area, hand-redid the lettering, but the result (fourth image) still didn't look right, too much "Marvel omnibus reprinting old comics in over saturated paeltte for God knows what reason", too lite actual vintage comic.
So finally, in order to get the more real and vintage feel I started adding grain, muted down the colors, yellowed everything up a bit and to finish things off I added a paper crease and a coffee stain.
But I don't know what to think of it. On one had, it does give me a bit of that Jim Lee X-Men era vibe, on the other hand, doesn't really feel like it's superior to the original one in any way. Not exactly helping me win an argument about how X-Men in the 80s and 90s was peak comicbook art.
Still, It was a cool inking practice and a nice little What If fantasy. Probably gonna do more of those, maybe something from the Magik or Generation X-23 (the second one being more stylized, so will probably be easier to 90s-ify), and then move on to actually redrawing whole pages in my style.
This is my artist at work for my graphic novel, Birth of a New World. Particularly, this is from The Tragedy Olympics scene. The process always amazes me. If you're interested in supporting an indie creator, here is the link to my free book:

Hey everyone! My name is Eric, a cartoonist from Ontario Canada. My good friend, Scott Wojcik and I have been working on a comic with his son about monsters under the bed. I painted this piece for our Kickstarter we ran a few weeks a go and thought I would share with you all. All done with India ink and brush:)
It's an homage to Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast, including characters from our book:) I plan to colour it for the cover of the next book, I love how it looks in greys though.
I hope you all enjoy! If you'd like to see more or would like to contact me for any artwork, feel free to DM or email me. Thanks everyone, have a great day!

After finishing this piece I’m super happy but I think I’m past the level where I can copy art anymore for my finished work so this will be the last 🙃
