2. Inking!
3. Color blocking!
4. Form shading!
5. Backlighting! I used two layers for backlight, using a stronger backlight on the reflective rubber and PVC clothing.
6. Cast shadows!
7. Shiny shine! Two make the shine for the rubber/PVC, I created a white layer, drawn with a hard edged round brush, filling in large areas of reflection, making sure to keep it squiggly around the wrinkles. Then I applied a gaussian blur to the layer to soften the edges. On a second, stronger white layer, I used a variable width hard round brush to sketch in the highest specular shine, with lots of variation and wiggle.
8. Hair and eye shine!
9. Colored linework!
10. Extra effetcs! Blush, eyelashes, fishnet hose. I drew the fishnet as a solid near-black layer and applied some simple layer effects for bevel and drop shadow.
11. Abstract background! I added a red gradient, focusing on the characters' faces and added a scaled-up copy of the image to the backdrop with hard light blending.
