[Reward | WIP] Orion (Patreon)

Final product post 

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!
