Completed reward post

May's reward for Patreon Teejster1!

Feat. their Gallade OC in his all powerful mega mode, crushing the ground he walks on.

This one has some perspective to it too! Hope you like it.

This reward was also streamed on my Twitch channel so if you wanna see how I was working on it in real time + some goofy stuff I added You can check out my channel here: Thelightsmen - Twitch

Steps followed:

1- Early sketch: The 1st sketch got a good amount of revisions before reaching this stage, but I finally got a moderately good looking pose for the character.
2- Alt. sketch: Then I complemented the character by adding all the necessary details and such along with the scarf, I also kept a couple edits I made during the livestream for funsies since I wasn't going to include them in the final version.
3- Final sketch: Lastly, I tweaked the scarf positioning and added a few remaining details that were missing.
4- Lineart: WIth the sketch done, I proceed to get the clean detailed lines!
5- Movement lines: And to add a little extra I add some dynamic movement lines to make everything cooler... But this might be scrapped since the pose doesn't have that much movement in it.
6- Flat colors: With all the lines in, now I add the flat colors following the character references given!
7- Gradients: Every color gets a dark and light gradient so it looks nicer!
8- Shading: Then I draw the shadows and highlights based off the light sources which are the shining arm blades. The shadows are set on multiply while the highlights are set to overlay.
9- Visual effects: Lastly, I include the glow and light reflection, but not too much since there's no a lot of lighting going around.
