Final product postDownload the attachments below to watch the timelapse videos! Novembers patreon reward for TibsCove!

Feat. their nu-mou OC Tibs washing his hair and watering his plants! (that just so happen to be growing on his hair!)

1- Sketch 1: The original sketch was divided into two alt versions because I wasn't sure which one was better, so I decided to include the two and stright up as TibsCove which one they liked better!

2- Sketch 2: The 1st version of the sketch won! so I rescaled it and prepared it to work on the lineart stage.

3- Lineart: Added all the proper details through the clean lineart following the existing sketch.

4- Flat colors: Then added all the basic flat colors following the character design!

5- Extra colors: Then completed the design by adding all remainin colors and also coloring the linework for better blending.

6- Water effects: Now I create a bunch of layers to work on the water effects, water is usually hard to draw so I took my time with this one, fortunately the effect came out okay!

7- Gradients: Then I add the usual gradients to every color of the body while also adding an extra  darker tone on the wet parts, to try and give them a more wet look.

8- Shading: Then I add 3 layers in different settings to play with the shading values and add shadows to it

9- Lightning effects: Then I blend everything together through a set of extra layers featuring several lightning effects such as glow and like reflection.

10- Background effects: Last but not least I add and polish some environmental shadows (some which I had included in part 5 were improved upon too)
