Zargothrax: I was doing gesture drawings one day, and one of them turned out pretty good, so I decided to turn it into a younger Quill, clean it up, detail, and color it.
Zargothrax: @Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: Thanks. As I said this was a gesture drawing. Had I had no reference, drawing in this angle would've been a lot more difficult.
The suit was probably the most fun to do. I made it dark grey first, then added a multiply layer for shadows and a color-dodge for the highlights, then added a hue-saturation-lightness filter to the color and the highlight layer. The result? I already painted everything, and was still able to change the color, lightness and saturation of the suit and the light source in retrospect, experiment with them until I find a combination I like. This is why I love digital. Given your workflow, you can separate concerns, and deal with them in a lot more flexible manner.
@Rick2tails: Thank you!

I know very little about firearms, just drew something similar to the reference.
