I just wanted to show you guys how i do a commissioned piece like the one for my client
Sempia Kevin called Super Size Me. 
This is the process of creating a full digital colored single character render. First you start off with:
1. Line-art. Scanned, B&W levels adjusted, & finally tweeked and cleaned. I simply use a white brush, or the eraser if you don't want any fills in-between the line strokes.
2.Basic colors. Most artist start with a base coat with no depth or value. Since i work with art that has white fills, i tend to select each area with one of PS's many selection tools. Since that area is selected, i go ahead and add sharp cascading shadows along the outer part of the shape i have selected. Its exciting for me because the image tends to look more complete earlier on.
3.After the basic colors are done, and all the shadow work is done then i go ahead and add the highlights and soft shadow works. I use different tints for the hard/dark shadow and shades for the blending shadows.
4.At the 4th stage the image is complete, and im cleaning/pruning the detail. Hues & saturation are adjusted accordingly and the over all process is complete...remember god is in the details so be sure to take time at this point. I also added some textures, and i nice little fish net effects to our stockings.
5.Finished. Added some things like the ear rings ect.
6. Thought id throw in a dragon tattoo, cause dragon tattoos on hot Asian chick are cool XD
Well, thats the basic steps i take in these types of commissions. I hoped you enjoyed thsi little insight and if you have any questions about powerman art and or getting a commission conatct me with your email and info to:
