Splinterlands Art Contest Week 182 - Entry Dragon Jumper

Congratulations to all the winners of Week 181!

For this weeks contest I've decided to create a Fan art for Dragon Jumper. Before, I used to think that he has a resemblance to Spiderman, maybe it's because of his costume color and eyes shape. but when I got a closer look I noticed the difference.

Dragon Jumper are humans who were trained to jump off from flying dragons. They are like parachuters jumping off aircrafts. But unlike parachuters, they are only have thin leather webbings to slow down their fall.

It is my third time joining the weekly art contest, at first it was because I want to win, but when I was creating this Dragon Jumper Animation, I felt that It was purely for fun. First because I really like doing this kind of stuff and because I like Splinterlands. (I hope everyone is also enjoying creating Fan arts for Splinterlands)

Step 1 - Sketching and coloring the Character

For sketching the character, I used medibang drawing app

Sketch 1 - the draft

Sketch 2 - the outline

Sketch 3 - Red color

Sketch 4 - Blue Color

Sketch 5 - Other colors (boots, eyes, buckles)

Finished Sketch and layering

Step 2 - photoshop editing

It's hard to adjust colors and size in medibang so I've decided to adjust its colors in Photoshop. I also need to create a background, a title screen, flying dragon so I really need to use photoshop.

Dragon Jumper Adjusted Color

Flying Fire Dragon

Step 3 - Animating Dragon Jumper

When you already have the right elements, animating the images will be easy. The only hard part of animation is the timing, because you are dealing with multiple overlays.

(The animation is on the top part of this post)
