step 1 of 19

Change the background to the dark scene. I created some solid color layers on top of the background, used the soft light blending mode, then I used soft brush to erase the area which needed to be bright (such as the window). See the layers I made you can find which area I deleted on the color layers

Actually I divided the beast into 3 layers: the head, the body and the arms. After finishing the basic painting I cast the shadow and light by clipping mask on the painted layer, using black and white brush.
This is the body and the arms I almost finished
