Art, from my side of the project: (Patreon)

I wanted to try something a little different here.  If you guys like it, give me a like, or post a comment below, if you guys enjoy this piece, I'll do similar art shares like this in the future.

Some of this art you will have already seen in its WIP states, but what I want to do here is kind of walk you all through the process of how the art gets handled, then share the final version at the end.

This first piece is a simple set of sketches for Tanya.  The first pose is for the "Photo" version I intend to add to the "People" section of the case notes.  The second is the pose for the naughty scene I commissioned a piece for this month.  Both looked good and I gave the artist the green light to continue without changes.

This second piece is colors for the same piece.  I thought the lips kind of had a "Joker" smile to them and asked the artist to tone it back a bit.

This one shows the revision of the lips.  I was much happier with this piece and with no further details that needed changing at this point, the artist moved on to the background image that goes behind the picture of Tanya.

With Tanya at least temporarily completed, the artist put together a sketch of the player's room in the Barmaid's Daughter.    I actually picked this one apart quite a bit.  I asked that the artist flip positions of the bed and chest because I wanted the bed in a specific position in relation to the window.  Then I asked that the artist include a bit more of the left hand wall and move the window to that spot.  (There are scenes that have the window over the player's shoulder while at the table, and one of the dreams where you're looking in the window and can see someone looming over you.  By moving the bed and window I didn't have to go back and rewrite anything.  ;) )  The artist also included a shadow of his earlier Tanya image to show possible placement.

The first revision of the room sketch.  I didn't care for the new window style, so I asked them to make some adjustments to it.

The third version of the room sketch.  I liked the window better, and since that was the only sticking point for me from the previous version, I gave the artist the green light to continue.

The next image I received was an inked version of the room.  I thought that the subdued colors worked well with the setting.  I let them know it looked good, then they set out to start adding more detail.

The final proof version I received before the final image.  They added some shading, softened some corners, and added Tanya to the image (Adjusting her shading as needed to fit the feel of the room).  I thought it looked great and let the artist know that they could put their final touches on the image.

Final version of the commissioned piece.  Since I thought the picture looked good, and I couldn't see anything that could use any adjustments in the previous version, the artist did some final shading and presented me with this piece.

If you guys enjoyed this, click the little heart and/or leave a message below.  I'll start presenting art in this manner for you if its something you would like.  If not, I'll continue posting completed pieces at this Patreon level.

Next up will be a piece for Azumi that I'd be happy to break down in the same manner.
