Realization step by step (Patreon)

Here is the process of the coloring of the picture :3 ( check the joint piece to see it )

-first : the original sketch

-Here I'm putting the basic background, and starting to put some clearer highlights to give some volume to the walls of the stomach.

-Essentially the same but with shading to give some depths to that chamber. Note that at this point I just ignore the character as I'm concentrating only on the background ^^

-Very basic step : just putting a layer for the character ( I could almost have skipped showing this one ^^ )

-Now things are starting to get interesting. I put more highlights on both the walls and the character and define more the crevices and bumps of the flesh. The idea is to make some credible volumes while in the same time attempting to put a somewhat credible lighting in a space that should have none ( but a black picture is not very interesting to look at XD )

-At this point the picture is almost done. I put colors on the character, play a bit with the general hue of the picture and make what is going to be more or less the final shading.

And here it is, mostly finished at this point. ( I won't say 100% because I very rarely straight up finish pictures. I usually always come back on them at some points and this one will probably be the same X3 ). Here I put various filters to create an atmosphere, refine the lighting and put some liquid highlights to make the whole thing looks wet.

And voilà :) Here is my working process for this kind of picture. I hope it can help you if you are an aspiring artist ^_^ Note that it is a pretty different process for others pieces ( flat coloring ones for example ). But I'll definitely make a step by step for them as well in the future ;3
