[High-Res Art | NSFW | WIP] Jojo x Xavier Smexy Time In The Cabin StepProcess

Final version

These were all the steps taken to create the lastest reward for art rafle winner @Jojolezbolez on twitter!

• 1- Early bg sketch: The 1st thing I did was figure out how the layout of the picture was gonna be, this was gonna be the original layout for it (more of a bird eye view) but I decided to take it back since it'de be difficult to see the bg and would also be too isometric.
• 2- Refined bg sketch 1: On this next sketch I tried again to get a different perspective, this one was a lot better so I straight up created the final couch sketch along with the line at the end of the room.
• 3- Refined bg sketch 2: Then I added several things to the bg sketch to finalize the room (I was supposed to add the xmas tree since this is a holiday themed pic with a cozy look)
• 4- Character Sketch 1: After the bg is done, I sketch out the 1st character based off the bg.
• 5- Character Sketch 2: Then their lover, based off the position of the 1st char.
• 6- Lineart and basic flats: After tweaking the sketches, I start the lineart phase along with the basic colors.
• 7- Full flats: After all the colors are there, I add all the remaining colors necessary for their designs to be complete!
• 8- Bg bases: Now for the background, this process is more complicated but simple at the same time. I just started drawing a sharp base for each individual section of the bg in different layers, and from there I added extra layers on top of each other with all the proper details.
• 9- Bg details (Floor/Wall): 1st the walls and floors, In a different layer I add the shadows and lights to make them look like wooden planks and/or logs.
• 10- Bg details (Chimney): For the chimney I spent a long while shading each individual rock, as well as having a tough time properly coloring the inside of the chimney.
• 11- Bg details (Window): Following a winter night theme, the window has some frost on the borders, and it's snowing outside.
• 12- Bg details (Window curtains): Then the curtains, all drawn in separate layers
• 13- Bg details (Xmas tree): For the tree I just drew a ton of lines in one layer trying to get a fairly decent perception of texture for it, pretty straight forward.
• 14- Bg details (Couch/Carpet/Tree): Then to cut things short, I repeated the process with the rest of the elements making sure each texture was noticeable. I also finished up the christmas tree with the decorations.
• 15-  Bg Lightning effects: Now that the bg is done, here come the extra layers (all in overlay settings) that add that necessary color correction to properly set the ambiance in.
• 16- Character gradients/color lineart: Bg is complete, now to finish the characters I add the typical gradients to all colors, and color their lines as well.
• 17- Character shading: I add the shadows and lights (much more shadow here since the light source is behind them)
• 18- Extra effects: As always I add some glow effects to the lighted areas.
• 19- Final touches: Last but not least, the final touches including blushies, breathing, and of course some precum.
