Good evening everyone.
Today I present my new entry to the @Splinterlands contest, this week I was very inspired to draw because I saw that there are new cards, I like that because it helps me to get inspired a little more and get out of the routine of drawing the same characters, this one in particular I loved the colors and the dynamism that has the whole card, it looks super amazing and I didn't want to miss the opportunity to recreate it in my style, for this opportunity I decided again to use the grayscale for the complexity of the drawing, although it was not easy I liked how it turned out, for the next time I will work as I normally do because I feel more comfortable this way, since I still feel that with this technique I don't handle the colors completely well, even so I found it a nice work and to which I dedicated a lot of time and detail, I hope you like it.
I made my sketch and then I started to fill with grayscale the background and then each part of the character, making clear the lights and shadows in each layer I was handling, then I painted the clothes and hair as well as the gloves which were too difficult since I'm not used to paint gloves, I'm a little confused about how to place the light in this kind of accessories.
After taking care of all the body, hair and clothes I started to draw the cards around my character, I drew each one giving details more or less similar to the original cards, once ready I started to color my drawing using different layer modes that really were more experiments than knowing exactly what I would do, I wanted for this Fanart my character to have a more colorful costume than the original so I decided to paint it in purple.
I added color to the cards and several layers where I was giving stronger lights and shadows, finally I made a color and brightness adjustment highlighting much more the cards and giving that magical effect I wanted.
