====================
The Steps

1. Sketch. Sketching the idea. Using some thick brush, the focus was composition and pose.
2. Lineart. I use 10pt G-Pen brush in MangaStudio with the lowest stabilizer. I try to keep my lineart...not really clean.
3. Base Color. Fill the base color. Each part of color have its own layer.
4. Shading. I lock the layer then start shading for each part. I use combination of 'Oil Paint', 'G-Pen', 'Blend', 'Soft Airbrush' on MangaStudio. I also coloring the lineart here.
5. Lighting. For each color I make a new layer the clip it on top of the shading. I also brush some skin color to clothes to make it looks nice.
6. BG & FG. Start drawing the background and foreground.
7. Glow & Effect. I add a lot of other layer here (multiply, overlay, add(glow), hard light). Adding glow to the light and some shiny object. I also make a dreamy effect for the character by duplicate, blur, change the blend mode, and lower the opacity.
8. Finishing. Cleaning some messy part & error. I blur some part using 'movable blur' (look at the robe & wings) by copy (the area that I want to blur), blur, then erase using soft brush . I also do some tone curve, level, & color balance adjustment.

All steps done in MangaStudio EX 5.
Good luck <3
