Week 312 My Splinterlands Art Contest Entry | Halfling Refugee

For this week, I chose Halfing Refugee. It somewhat reminds me of Lord of the Rings. 😁

Art Process

The vision for this art is that the character is in a dark forest but the staff glows the night. It would be reflected on the clothes and hair. I really wanted to copy the staff here so I used a symmetrical ruler to at least make it decent, hehe.

Next is applying the base colors. I used a color-picker to get the colors from the original card. I made it undersaturated since the setting is on a dark forest. Next, I used a shading brush for the shadows.

I worked more on the cloak giving it more shadows and depths for the clothing's folds and creases. I put all the layers in one folder and masked them with a dark color. On the background, I chose a dark blue color and some trees, and fireflies.

Final Art

This was my favorite part of making this art, making it glow! I used a combination of flat brush airbrush and blur brush to achieve the glow that I wanted. I used a cloud brush for the back just some smokey element. Lastly, masking the canvas with a texture.

Finished art! ✨
