My first go at doing a CGed pic and also my first go at doing fan art. It is Yuki(Megatokyo) dressed like Lain(Serial Experiments Lain) in her bear suit PJs.

Seeing as it was my first go at this I made a mistake and drew the pic on the back of a printed peice of paper. That big grey patch in the middle is the printing on the back of the paper showing through.

I changed the background to that hot pink colour so you could easily see the stay white a black. The lines are on a sperate layer. I got rid of the background because I was going to do a different one.

Put in the base colours for yuki. The eye colour is just a gradient fill.

Using the mighty smudge tool I did the fur and hair. I also got rid of some lines in the hair. The fur was done with a layer set to colour dodge and some brown lines which were smudged to make it look like a furry effect. The hair was done in the same sort of way except you smudge the lines along the length of the hair. There is a great tutorial for doing hair which I was following at Merekat creations

I hid the layers with Yuki and drew the Navi and desk outlines.

Basic plain colouring for the navi and desk.

Added the shadows. The round things are just using a gradient fill.

Now for the background. Just hide the navi and desk and start drawing under the hidden layers. The line in the middle is suppose the be the corner of the room.The slats for the closet door are just a bunch of rectangles with a perspective transform on them to make the room look abit 3D like.

Colours for the closet door, wall and some gradient fills for the slats the the closet door. I only bothered with the visible slats.

Added the gradient fill. It is supposed to make it look the line in the middle is further away because it is the corner of the room. There is also another layer set to multiply over the top of that to make the room walls look further away then the navi/desk.

Made the navi and desk visible. Added the screen light which is just 2 layers each with a rectangle the size of the screen and an outer glow layer effect to create the glow. One layer has a white rectangle and white outer glow, the other is a blue rectangle and glow with a lighten layer effect. I thought it looked better this way because it gives it that bluey artificial light colour. Also added some extra highlights and shading to the wires.

Put Yuki back in and added some shadows to her. I also added some glow/highlight to her head, hair and shoulders which is caused by the monitor.

Added a layer set to multiply in between Yuki and the navi/desk layers that just a radial fill so as to make the navi/desk darker and look further away and also make the screen look bighter. There is also another layer over the top of everything just like the layer in between Yuki and the navi to darken the picture more and make it look like a dark room. Shadows were done using seperate layers using layers set to multiply and highlights were done using layers set to colour dodge.
