Final product post 

October reward for Patreon Etherkree!

Feat. their Torterra OC Kora in her dark version riding a poor victim in the catacombs! (the victim is named Cutlass)

• 1- Early rough sketch: Early on in production I thought about making the pose like this based on the instructions I was given. This was scrapped in the first revision.
• 2- Sketch: The redraw of the sketch resulted in this, which as much more liked!
• 3- Lineart: With the idea finished, I move in with the clean lineart  while adding the necessary remaining details.
• 4- Flat colors: I fill the lines with the corresponding colors for the design as needed, including the patterns.
• 5- Gradients: I add a lighter/darker gradient to all colors.
• 6- Fire base: I set the base for the fire effect on the mouth and the back.
• 7- Fire details/recolors: I finish the flames and add the details to them while recoloring some sections of the face.
• 8- Shading: Now comes the shadows and highlights (with a focus on the flames being the light source)
• 9- Effects: Then I add some glow effects where I deem necessary.
• 10- Background: And last but not least I draw up a very simple background, resembling a dark hallway with torches!
