[CR]Wuxia alchemy, a personalized illustration

I've never showed this illustration over here; this illustration has an interesting backstory. It is my first comission. Someone liked my drawings so much to the point it wanted to gave an oportunity to draw something personalized.
I show here in order: Final piece, B/W Process, original sketch ideas, second rough sketch, compilatory GIF of the process. (in case gif could shown)
Media used: Paint tool sai & Photoshop.

This piece was kind difficult, mostly for the amounts of elements. I painted first a grayscale version for define the lights and the shadows as I wanted, after that, I gave it colors. From grayscale to colors is a technique I have use before so I wanted to keep in safe territory as I could. I wanted to assure to give to my client a piece as close to his expectations.

I think this is one the most difficult piece I have done, after the "Light's wrath".

This piece belongs to Hive account@faffy and @/Andrien.
