The Process of Bima Satria Garuda

 This is the process of my Bima Satria Garuda Fan-Art  :

After a long time, i decided to paint from grayscale, because grayscale is fun :)
First, i made a sketch based on the design.

Then, i blocked-in areas with gray, then decided the lightsource and build the values

After that, i did the rendering, detailing and cleaning. This was the fun part. Try to think objects in 3D.

Next is coloring. I always use Overlay and Soft Light blend modes for coloring grayscale. Sometimes i use mutliply for darktones and screen for light.

Let's paint the effects to make it looks cool. I love this part. And i adjust the color and the contrast a lil bit.

After painting some texture and adjust the colors, this piece is considered done !
I made a GIF version of this process. Enjoy :)
