Thanalorian Scion Splinterlands Art Contest Week 294

Hi, how are you? Oh by the way thank you for choosing me to be 5th place in last week's contest I am surprised this is my first time winning in this challenge. I joined last year but I stopped due to personal things but I am catching up. I am so inspired to draw right now so I might use that to encourage myself to draw more.

I chose Thanalorian Scorio I have this thing that if something caught my eye oh she is the one for me. I like the flow of the original art so I chose her and I want to challenge myself to draw more body parts not only the head. LOL. So yeah! I guess I chose the right one.

I am challenging myself to draw more whole-body lineart, it's not easy but so worth it when the result you wanted is good. It took me hours to draw the clothes because, in the original art, the clothes were not fully seen. I did my best to draw as much detail as possible.My reference model is from Pinterest.

I added all the base colors, what I do is every part has its layer so when I render later it will be easier.

Using the shape-fill tool brush I added a shadow to where the part needed a shadow, this brush saved my time a lot I mean a lot, and using this I have more control over the shape I want and it is more neat and equal. I lower the opacity of the layer of the water so I can imitate the consistency of water.

After I added the shadow I used the Gaussian blur to equally blur all the shadow and make it look blended and same as I do on adding highlights. This is just the first layer of shadow and highlighting the next layer will add more detail to it.

For the final step, I created a layer with blending mode multiply and lowered the opacity to 50% then I set the brush color to less saturated dark blue and I used the shape fill tool brush to fill all her body. After that, I added a transparency mask below that layer and I used a texture brush to apply where the light reflected on her.

The next step I do is I create again a layer but this time the blending mode is overlay then I use an airbrush and set the color between yellow and blue, applying it above the highlights part this step helps the highlight more saturated not just pure white.

I added thin hairs flowing so the hair look more lively.

I enjoyed rendering this piece so much that I never knew that it took me days to finish it.LOL. Thank you for the support and encouragement that helped me a lot! Thank you so much.

Thank you for visiting and see you on my next blog!
