Here's an old tutorialy image

Shading is just a layer over top of everything. I'll try different colors and gradients, then scroll through the layer combine methods until it looks good.

For motion blur or depth of field, I'll flatten the whole image, copy and paste it as a new layer, apply various blurs, then use mask to reveal the unblurred image below in key areas.

That about covers it. I should probably make a process/tutorial page since people ask about it a lot.

If you look at the sketch vs final here:

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.

A lot of the collar pics have some element of defiance in her expression or action, where this does not.

A similar scene, with her thoughts included, occurs on page 18 of the 'Lighter Chains' comic.

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.

Yes.

>will this be in lighter chains

It'll take a while to get to this point, she gets a bit of training from her mistress first.

>is this gonna be a long comic?

Yeah, the first chapter is about 20 pages and really only covers transformation. The plan is to make it sort of an ongoing feature.
