Overall adjustments

I make the following adjustments to the overall illustration.

・ Blurred the bats using the same method as for the birds in part 9

・ Changed the color of the horns as I had forgotten earlier

・ Changed the flowers on the horns to white as I thought the balance was better

・ Added more detail to the moon

・ Added another layer for the fire

・ Adjusted contrast of the hair and made it darker, as it was too bright and shiny

・ Colored the eyes of the demon motif at the waist

・ Added more detail to the skin I also darkened the lips and made the skin shinier on the thigh and chest to make her look a little sexier.

 

Color corrections

I’ll do my color corrections over a few layers stored in a layer folder.

 

I thought it looked a little blurry, so I’ll try to fix this. I save it as a jpeg file, then load the jpeg file back into Clip Studio Paint as an image.

I move the layer to the top of the layer palette.

 

On the imported layer, I use the [Filter] menu > [Sharp] > [Unsharp mask] to sharpen the image. It’s a little too sharp like this, so I reduce the opacity to 43%.

 

I create a new layer above this, then paint shadows in the dark areas and set the blending mode to [Overlay].

 

On another new layer, I paint some final color adjustments with a brush tool.

 

When the layer is set to [Normal] at 100% opacity, it looks like this.

 

Now I’ve finished making the evolved version.
