Back with another Furi illustration. This time, neked~... Don't worry, it's SFW. :D Like before, this character belongs to Alexiada Firenze.

Before I begin, I would just like to suggest that you vote for @curie for witness here https://steemit.com/~witnesses. @curie has helped a lot of artist who's just starting here on steemit, just like me.

And also check out @smartsteem! I think they're onto something amazing for quality-post steemers!

References

Just a reference for the pose and the guns.

Sketching

If you already know what kind of artist I am by now, you'd know that I'm quite practical. If a technique would save me some time, then I'd gladly use it. :)

Inking

Yes, the guns are also copied and pasted.

Rendering in B/W

I'm going to use Gradient Maps to color this.

I left the gray values I used, so you could copy it, if you want.

Applying Gradient Map

Using PS.

Final Product

Added some lights, color holds and some smaller details.

I hope you liked my post and I hope you find this art process worth your while. I'll try to post more. ^-
Bye for now!
