Description
I decided that I wasn't satisfied with my pencil drawing inspired by ~Rhov 's Beastly Posession fanfc because it didn't have the right feel to it. So, I plopped it into Photoshop and started working.Here is my process:
1) Added a Levels adjustment layer to darken my lines
2) Darkened the pants and lightened the hair
3) Made a single color layer above on Soft Light.
4) Added a "darkness" layer, which was a pure black fill (90% opacity) with a mask
5) Added the highlights using the layer mask.
6) Cleaned up the writing in the background
7) Added a digital signature
I know it's not a "shiny shiny" as some of the other styles (and if I really wanted to, I probably could make it that way), but I actually like how it's a blend of digital and traditional. ^^

Thanks 
Hehe, yeah. I'm looking forward to the next chapter, but Rhov's been having some issues, so I'm being patient. ^^ I might go through and draw some more scenes eventually.

Yeah, so I've read, but I bet Rhov will be able to sort it out, I read all the way up to Chap 22.

You're welcome
Added the link! I've been thinking of adding it, but I kept on forgetting. ^^"

No prob! I've been showing this off to everyone, haha! I'm even using this face of Natsu as my avatar on Facebook.

...n-no way...
Thanks!
I can't stop grinning... that really made my day. ^^

Because it's awesome: the feel, the mood, the creepy-ass evil grin!
Although...where are his pants? Not that I'm complaining! It's HOT! Am I the only one who wants to move Natsu's kilt/skirt/thing just a liiiiiittle bit over?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know right? I love Natsu's evil/angry expressions. <3 I really wanted to draw his hand digging into the side of the window, but I honestly don't know where to start. ^^"
I couldn't help myself. ^///^" Especially considering what happens next...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha... I can't draw hands at all. I suppose just adding long black nails, curved a little, scratch marks on the bricks...I dunno.
Bwahahaha! Yeah, creepy-sexy scene, coming right up! Some people are complaining that the story is now getting too fluffy. I think they loved the "dark seduction" theme in the beginning. I have no clue how to bring that back now, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah ^^" I usually don't have too much problem with drawing talon-like nails...dunno why it was an issue this time.
Hmmmm.... yeah, it's rather awkward to bring that back with Natsu anymore since the inner beast's motives have changed slightly and you put in that "If the beast comes back after the ceremony there's no return" rule... ^^" At this point, if he changes it's more likely to be to protect. There is the other angle with the earth dragon slayer though... If he gets triggered again, he said he might not be able to control it, right? Plus, you put in hints about the other slayer stalking Lucy. That's the only way I could see it getting "dark" again... although the "seduction" part is easy enough, even without his bestial form. ^^"
I could see it come back a bit with some Lucy fantasies though... even after the ceremony. Heck, I could even see Natsu fantasizing like that a bit, although he'd probably hate himself for it and get all moody and scared.
Honestly, I'm fine with how things are progressing and I trust you. ^^ がんばって！

Haha... you've picked up on my hints well, although I won't spoil anything. Ooooo and yes, there are plenty of ways to have more seduction.
I like your idea of maybe a horror fantasy. Maybe the beast doesn't reemerge, but it takes over Natsu's dreams. The beast within has to follow Natsu's "wants and desires" but it has admitted there are things Natsu wants that it personally doesn't want. The beast is the "id" taken form, but the inner beast can also bring up some really dark inner secrets. Maybe Natsu wants to ravage Lucy deep down inside, to pin her down and be aggressive, which the beast would over-exaggerate into a blood attack...but it's all a dream. Or maybe Lucy has a dream that starts off sweet, but goes dark, an inner fear that Natsu might lose control again. I had that dream of the cave with Gray and Erza beheaded, which apparently scared a lot of readers. "It's okay, it was all just dream."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I realized it was probably a dream as soon as he revealed their beheading. XD Natsu is violent, but he'd never want to kill his nakama. It's his strongest principle to protect them, even when Gray's being an ass.
I will admit that it scared me too though. ^^"

Well that's good. That was one of those scenes i tossed in because people said there wasn't enough horror. Boom, dream horror!
