1- Sketch: I forgot to keep some records of the rougher sketches, but this time I managed to get a fairly good sketch done right on the 1st try! I went for a more goofy/funny expression here, and so far Tibs loves it! <3

The lineart process was divided into different layers for convenience.

2- Lineart 1: Clean lines done for the dolphin prop

3- Lineart 2: Clean lines done for Tibs (the character)

4- Lineart 3: Clean lines done for the anchor

5- Lineart 4: Put all 3 layers together

6- Lineart 5: Fused all layers into one

7- Lineart 6: Added movement lines

8- Flat colors: Then added all the colors, taking them from the references given

9- Shading: Now I add 3 layers (two for shadows, on multiply, and one for hightlights on clear) 

10- Final effects: And last but not least I add some motion blur effects, color the lineart a little more, and also add glow to some of the most illuminated areas!
