I had some tricks with coloring and blending before I jumped to digital, so when I did this I used some old tricks and some concepts adapted over from digital art.

Fun fact: A lot of convoluted stuff goes into getting the exact shade I want, Serivas's underbelly for example was the result of six different colored pencils and I just tweaked the pressure and angle depending on where I was coloring in order to change how the colors mixed and their concentrations. There's actually a small difference between how two colors can mix depending on which one was used first and what kind of pressure you use.

Essentially, my over-technical artstyle becomes even more cancer on paper where there's finer control and nuance to it.
