This is a four-step animated gif showing some of the major stages this image went through to get made.

1. Line Art

2. Flat Colors w/ Gradation

3. Shadows

4. Highlights

Simplified showing of the steps I take when coloring artwork on Photoshop CS5.

Update May 31, 2015:

Originally this image was not showing up on Patreon, but with the new creation uploader a lot of great changes have been made and the image now animates properly. So I changed this to a public image so that I can pimp my Patreon out a bit and let everyone know it works now. YAY. Will be making more like this <3
