Commission for Patreon Jojo!

Featuring A smexy lycanroc rocker who just so happens to have a skull for a face.

These were all the steps taken to create the commission:

• 1- Early Sketch: I was very happy with the original sketch, I loved how the body came out and the guitar as well! however before I could draw the clothes sketch I revised it and realized thanks to Jojo that the pose could be better.
• 2- Sketch revisions: The 2nd revision was way cooler and more dynamic! now The clothes and fire sketch are in and the guitar was redrawn to something more real based off a real guitar.
• 3- Lineart 1: On this occation, I decided to draw the amp first, since I wasn't accustomed to draw this type of object.
• 4- Lineart 2: Later on I drew the actual character in with the clean lines and details on top of the amp!
• 5- Flat colors: Then I moved on and filled all lines with some colors taken directly from the references provided.
• 6- Gradients: I add some simple gradients to make the flats look a little better.
• 7- Shading: Next up is the shading with 3 layers for the shadows and highlights with their proper settings, all colored and treated to fit the color scheme
• 8- Fire effect 1: Now for the fire effect... This one was tricky to pull off because I wasn't sure how  to make it look good but also make it look legit, so I started with some simple lineart and a transparent flat color.
• 9- Fire effect 2: Then I moved on with an extra color to give some effect to the fire, and more importantly I added some sort of scorching effect on the places where the fire is burning with some straight lines. This one got the effect right, making it look like stuff was actually burning!
• 10- Fire effect shading: Now to make the fire actually have a lighting effect on the rest of the piece! added 2 separate layers on the places where I think would be illuminated by the fire, same process as in step 7.
• 11- Extra effects: Now I just add some glow and bloom effects for the fire and the body!
• 12- Env. Shadow: Last but not least, I add some shadow effects on both the floor and the side.
