Seras Victoria in a bit of a bind (updated)

A long time ago in a deviant note not so far away I once commissioned a pic of Seras Victoria in bondage from . Though she is long gone and apparently in a way that annoyed allot of people (I never had any problems with her I have no idea what happened with them @_@) her works still remain in my folder, to include this bondage pic, now at the time it was just a line art but recently I been practicing my digital coloring, trying to find a style. I didn't want to do simple CG like I see allot of, but something with more subtle transitions and softer tones. After some experimentation I eventually found a method I liked and tested it on this line art, as Seras Victoria is one of my favorite anime characters and I really do love this pic of her.

So here is the fruit of my labor, I really do hope yall enjoy and please feel free to comment and give me suggestions, this is experimental and any feedback will help in refining where I go with this method.

Thanks again and enjoy
