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.

My Layer Layout

- Highlights layer
- Backlights layer
- Shadows layer
- Color Folder
- Detail Folder (Masked to Base Color layer.)
- Quaternary Color layer
- Tertiary Color layer
- Secondary Color layer
- Base/Primary Color layer

- Shadows layer

- Fine Sketch layer
- Rough Sketch layer
- Canvas Background layer (Neutral color like grey.)
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!
