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!

Impressive, as always. Be careful mirroring objects, like guns. Pistols are not perfectly symmetrical. For instance, it looks like there are two ejector rods?

Yeah, I didn't use to either. But now I work for a company that sells camouflage for guns, and I've learned a lot more than I ever thought I would in my life! I still have a hard time drawing guns, though. XD

You should really try out using 3D man. It can help a lot when it comes to guns. :D

Nice, Clean Work. I'm a digital artist myself, brand new to Steemit:) and just came across your work. I'll give you a follow. Are you unique here or are there other artists doing similar things?

Hello @elohprojects! Thank you. By 'unique', do you mean if I'm the only one who do digital art? There's tons of artists here in Steemit! Just follow the tag 'art', and you'll get to see their works. ^-^

Yes I finally figured out how the whole thing works. You were the first one that I saw. Anyway you are definitely the best comic-style ink and digital artist that I have come across here. Keep up the great work.
