If you look at the sketch vs final here: https://satinminions.com/img/thick-80.html https://satinminions.com/img/thick-80-color.html You can see that I changed the arms, hair, and clothes, and fixed some proportion/perspective problems on her hips and thighs. I always put clothes, face, and arms on separate layers because they can make a big difference to the tone of the image and often overlap everything, making it difficult to change if it's all one layer.
I merge all the line layers together when I start coloring. I used to keep them all separate but you end up navigating the layers too much to do cleanup. I'll experiment with colors on different layers, but once I know what I'm doing I'll merge them. On comics or animations where I already know what the palette is, it's definitely easier and faster to color all on one layer. Sometimes I'll keep clothing as layer to do transparency effects.
I usually start with a 3D model for reference to get the overall proportions and pose. Then I'll move over to photoshop and make a stick figure, adjust arm position and whatnot, then do the lines.
I don't do hairy line sketches anymore, I try to go straight to near final lines. I draw each line as quickly and smoothly as I can, and if I mess up I'll just undo and draw it again. Sometimes I undo, you know, 20 times in a row. But that's fine.
I end up with a bunch of disconnected lines, and that makes it easier to tweak things. If I notice her spine is crooked say, I can easily cut out her upper body and move it around without having to redraw too much. I also put some parts on separate layers. In this picture I notice that her rear arm is maybe a bit short or has some weird perspective on it, but her arms are on a separate layer so it's easy to fix.

This is cloudflare's protection mechanism. If they detect malicious traffic coming from a particular IP address they will require a captcha to continue. Any given tor exit node is going to be shared by a lot of different people and if one of them does something bad, everyone using the node shares the consequences. That's probably why your comment got flagged as spam as well.
Given the spam/threat climate on the internet, I don't plan on disabling this feature, but thanks for letting me know.
That's the cover of the latest comic which is currently up for patreon supporters, so it's not in the img folder yet. I've fixed the search page to show the proper link.
Also, you weren't supposed to be able to comment on the high res version of this image (I moved your post here). Was there another bug in the site or are you a clever person?
I've been working on one.. slowly. I've got about 10 pages done but I've started in the middle so I've got to work backwards for a bit before I can start posting.
It's also pretty long - the first volume/issue/whatever that I'm working on just covers intro and transformation.
I plan to do a patreon for it once I get a good buffer built up. It'll still be on the site for free, but patrons would get early access to pages, sketches, maybe a request queue, that sort of thing.
This is actually just a 50x50 pixel version that someone wanted for their deviantArt avatar. I should probably just link it in the description of the main version.
>or is it just a kinky demonic role-play the mistress cooked up for her slave?
It's her origin, though the "true form" aspect could just be a mind game. Or it could play out like the end of ghostbusters: whatever you do, don't think of a girl - shit.
>is there a place from which you got the demonic script?
The font is "Eladrin" which I believe I picked up from fontspace.com. Eladrin are like elves in D&D. I researched it and if she's a tiefling she should technically be speaking abyssal, but I couldn't find a good font for it.
Got a pretty good bump in traffic when I had a featured image, but it's returned to normal levels. I haven't had much new content up in that period though (vacation), so perhaps it's better than it would otherwise be. HF is now easily the #1 referrer to the site.
Alrighty, I have updated the site: - added index pages for the comics - used CSS instead of JS to resize images to the window - replaced some tables with CSS - narrower text columns for readability / mobile viewing - made character tag images consistent - removed extraneous borders and lines
The main change is that the site now works decently on mobile.
