Transformation Time

"Something weird happened. I don't know what it is, but I think I like the results."

This is a toony style full detail YCH (Your-Character-Here) commission for ForrestTheBoar on Twitter who won a little YCH auction I had put up on one of my other sites. He unexpectedly turned from a boar into a bat.

• Canvas Prep/Rough Sketch

  Layers Used:

  Canvas Background layer

  Rough Sketch layer

  I start off with the neutral colored background and the rough sketch of the potential character over it.

  Note: The first few steps' imagines may look funny because again, this was a YCH, so it was presented as such like what is shown with the bottom image of this step. Though, some of the rough sketch lines are missing since I somehow wound up deleting them.

• Fine Sketch

  Layers Used:

  Fine Sketch layer

  Then after the winning client submitted his idea and details, I sketch in a finer sketch over the roughes.

• Lineart

  Layers Used:

  Foreground Folder -> Lineart layer

  After the sketches, I lineart over the sketches.

• Base Color

  Layers Used:

  Foreground Folder -> Base/Primary Color layer

  I used the contiguous "wizard" tool to select areas outside of the character's parameters, invert the selection, then fill with a neutral color. I always do it this way to avoid gaps in my base color had I just selected areas within the parameters.

• Detail Color

  Layers Used:

  Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> Detail Folder -> (Folder's color layers)

  Add in the character's other colors.

• Shadows

  Layers Used:

  Foreground Folder -> Shadows layer (Layer Blending Mode: Grain Merge; Opacity: 50%)

  Add in the shadows.

• Highlights

  Layers Used:

  Foreground Folder -> Highlights layer (Opacity: 65%)

  And add in the highlights.

• Background

  Layers Used:

  Canvas Background layer

  Background Shadows layer

  Then finally, whiten the canvas background and add a little shadow under the character.

Then we are done!

Enjoy the transformation!
