Here are all the steps taken to create the lastest reward for patreon Miles!
- 1- Early sketch: Since this was meant to be a "continuation" of the lastest reward I went for a view from the perspective of someone opening the door to the room, but this was scrapped after the 1st revision.
- 2- New Sketch: Redoing the sketch, the characters would be shown a lot more, while still showcasing most of the room.
- 3- Final Sketch: Finally we settled for a more closeup view of the characters, and much less emphasis on the BG.
- 4- Lineart: Following the sketch, I started adding all the black clean lines with all proper details and fixing any possible proportion/posing issues (such as the left foot which was kind of awkward on the sketch)
- 5- Flat colors: Then I move on with the basic flats for the characters
- 6- Gradients: I add several subtle gradients and color the lineart to suit the colors and overall achieve a better blend effect.
- 7- Background | Base: Now to start with the BG, I begin by following both the sketch and the current character position to determine the basic shapes for the bg elements, such as the bed, all these shapes are stored in different layers for easier management and editing
- 8- Bg Details: Then, on top of each of those layers I add a folder with several extra layers containing all details for each element, I don't take too much time to create all details since the BG is not meant to be directly looked at.
- 9- Char/bg Integration: Then I put both charactes and bg together and check if they fit.
- 10- Shading: Now I start adding the cell shading to the characters, (3 layers, 2 for shadows 1 for hightlights) giving them proper shape and color to suit the palettes.
- 11- Environmental shadows:Now in several different layers below the characters, I add a multiply color for the shadows (using an airbrush) to simulate the concept of light coming from the door (right)
- 12- Misc stuff: And of course, since it was a messy drawing the 1st time, it will also be the 2nd time, I added an extra folder with extra layers for the things that were featured on the other artwork
- 13- Final effects: Finally I add some glow, and lightning effects in different settings on top of everything else, and voila! Reward finished!
