October's Patreon reward for Teejster1!

Feat. their newest Gardevoir OC, Orion! We're currently designing him so the earlier sketches are temporary (ignore the tiny Storm on the corner)

1- Early sketch: Since there wasn't that much imput on how to design Orion I decided to do a little something as quick as possible using what I was given. Which was mostly a more feminine personality. This sketch is subject to change soon though.
2- Early sketch 2: On the 1st revision I was asked to get rid of the anthro aspect and move to a more pokemon one, except I got confused and went for a gallade look instead of a gardevoir one.
3- Sketch: Both sketches earlier were discarded and instead I redrew a new one based off the feedback I got from Teejster! This one would include the clothing in the same layer and a completely new design!.
4- Lineart: With the sketch finally approved, I move in with the clean lines for the lineart.
5- Extra Lineart: This time I decided to experiment on some techniques for my lineart, this would include some line weight touches and some blur.
6- Flat colors: For the later stages I hide the extra lineart and just fill in the lines with the basic colors.
7- Gradients: Next up are some light and dark gradients.
8- Shading: Then comes the shadows and highlights.
9- Lighing Effects: Then some color correction along with some glow and extra shadows.
10- Bg extras: Now for last, I create a replica of the body and paint it full black, then adjust it's perspective to suit the ground and also add a little shadow trail behind him.
11- Full integration: And finally, I reintegrate the original lineart stuff I had done in step 5!
