Splinterlands art contest | Twisted Jester
Good evening, happy weekend to all of you.
I took a week off from this contest because I really had a lot of work, but this week despite being a little late I want to share my entry for this week, I chose one of the cards that for me is the most difficult, Twisted Jester despite not having as many details as other cards, it is difficult for me because of the mask aspect that has on the face, I really don't get it very well so I decided to change that aspect and mask for a more realistic and pale face, although I'm still not 100% happy with this version of twisted jester, but I did the best I could for the moment, really this portrait was a challenge, from the sketch to what to put in the background, everything was quite complicated, I hope you like it although I personally am not convinced at all.
I made the sketch, it really cost me a lot, at first it would be a more complete portrait, including torso, but it was really bad, I decided to leave it only with the neck part, I liked the sketch a lot, it looks even better than painted hahaha, in short, I started to paint the skin with pale tones to make it look similar to Twisted Jester's face, a little bit of dark grey around the eyes to create that makeup, then red lips, in another layer I started to mix the colors to leave a softer skin, then I took purple and started to paint the cap and with black the neck.
Then I painted with red the other part of the neck garment, I added some lights and shadows, I detailed a little more the face and painted some lines above the lips that simulate those lines that the original card has, I continued filling all the cap making one part purple and the other part very dark blue almost black, I began to give form to the fabric of the cap painting this kind of folds with lights and shades, I painted the spheres that hang of the cap and then I added a layer of lights where I began to illuminate some zones of the face and came the moment to paint the background, for this part was where I lost more time, because I couldn't get a background that I liked, I couldn't get a color that combined well with the whole portrait, I was a little upset and I started to experiment doing anything crazy, at the end I got this background glitch effect that I don't love but I don't dislike either, I feel that this portrait would have been better if I didn't focus on making the face so pale, it has already happened to me many times that working with such light colors doesn't give me good results, besides they produce some anxiety and restlessness in my eyes, maybe next time I will dare to do a less risky idea.

A veces nos exigimos tanto que no nos damos cuenta del gran trabajo que hacemos, no seas tan duro contigo misma, el dibujo quedó increíble, a mí en lo personal me encanta mucho, es muy linda pero te da esa vibra que si te descuidas te aniquila jeje, excelente trabajo!
Asi es, ultimamente estoy muy exigente eso me tiene con la autoestima destruida jajaja.
Genial! eso buscaba al menos se ve inocente y a la vez diabolica 🤣 Muchas gracias!
i think it looks stunning even more with the pale skin tone loved it ❤️
Aww thank you so much @biyaawnur
Que bueno es ver tu regreso
Te ha quedado increíble
