Week 284 | My Splinterlands Art Contest Entry | River Hellondale

Hello, Happy Friday! 🥳

For this week's card, I chose River Hellondale. ✨

Art Process

I first did a rough sketch of the character's pose. I used a colored pen for the layer to make it easier for me to trace later on. For the lineart, I used a solid pencil with different weights.

Next, I copied the colors from the original card for the base color. I used a yellow color and will build it up using an orange shade. Same with the skin and clothing.

I first applied the hard shadow in a multiply layer. I then used a blur brush to soften the hard edges. I tend not to blur all the way for sort of different angles. Here, I airbrushed a bright orange and red for the hair. I worked further on the eyes and shines.

I added the shine on the metal linings of the clothing using glow and flat brush. Same as to the hair and the accessories. I added blush to the skin using an airbrush. I chose a dark background for the night sky and crescent moon.

Final Art

I used a cloud brush with soft edges for the clouds. I just randomly put them but ensured they were balanced on the canvas. I used the shape tool for the perfect crescent moon. On top, I added a yellow glow to make it shine. The stars are downloaded glitter brush.
