May's reward for Patreon Tibscove!
This time, Tibs decided to return the gesture and give their slot to Ether as thanks! Between some back and forth we decided to take a shot at drawing Ether (Character's name), the intergalactic Cat OC, since she has a beautiful design!
Also, this drawing was drawn LIVE! on my Twitch account, be sure to follow me there to tune in and see me drawing these in real time!
- 1- Base sketch: The very 1st sketch got pretty much everything right, especially for the pose which I wanted to be very stylish and dynamic! and to make things even better I got this result pretty fast!
- 2- Sketch tweaks: After looking at the references I realized the legs were not supposed to look humanoid/Anthro, so I fixed that!.
- 3- Extra sketch: Now I add a second layer with a sketch showcasing some extra effects I want to get in, like light flares and such!
- 4- Improv Bg: (This is not part of the final drawing) As an added bonus, I quickly sketched out a simple space background to go with the theme of the character!
- 5- Extra design: And lastly I included some simple effects to make her look kinda sorta spectral, just a little idea I did during the livestream I did.
- 6- Lineart base: With the sketch done, I now move on to the clean lineart adding all the little fur effects.
- 7- Flat colors base: Then I fill in all the lines with the basic color palette
- 8- Lineart effect: In parallel, I work on the magical effects which are from this character, starting with the clean lines!
- 9- Gradients: Every color gets a gradient to enhance the color range!
- 10- Shading: Then I add shadows and highlights using the wings as the main source of light!
- 11- Visual effects: Now I add some exra color correction, a lot of glow and extra shadows!
- 12- Final touches: Last but not least I add some extra contrast to finish up the picture!
