This is a step by step process tutorial of one of my fanart works of Felicia and Morrigan from the videogame series Dark Stalkers
You can see the full finished version here: [link]

Process:

1. Pencils using mechanical pencils on 11x17 copy paper.

2. Scanned into photoshop and digitally inked with wacom tablet and basic photoshop brush and pen tool. You can see I did a rework on the characters hands/paw after some feedback from fellow DA artists.

3. Base colors (Flats).

4. First quick shading pass for light source reference. Originally this didn't have a background in mind so I I just used a generic light source coming from the side.

5. Background and color balancing. I started a quick backdrop for the lovely ladies with a simple moon behind them and an ethereal mist behind them. cause its halloween-ish . I also added a rim-light from the moonshine on the edges of the characters. Since the original light source was not from the moonlight I had to actually go back and add some lighting from behind.

6. More color balancing, details and final background pass, I didn't want the image to be TOO vibrant, Dark Stalkers are supposed to be monsters and somewhat scary you know .

Hope this helps some people out there, if you have any question feel free to ask!
