Lightning Dragon - Splinterlands Art Contest Week 276! [ENG/ESP]
Lightning Dragon! ⚡️
Greetings community! This time I present you my entry for the @splinterlands contest. For this week I wanted to keep experimenting a bit more with my style, leaving a little bit aside the kawaii or chibi and going to something a bit more "real", choosing as character Lightning Dragon, being quite challenging but without a doubt it leaves me a great learning in my way as an illustrator. I hope you like it, it's made with love for all of you!
¡Saludos comunidad! En esta oportunidad les presento mi participación para el concurso de @splinterlands. Para esta semana he querido seguir experimentado un poco mas con mi estilo, dejando un poco de lado lo kawaii o chibi y pasando a algo un poco mas "real", eligiendo como personaje a Lightning Dragon, siendo bastante desafiante pero que sin duda me deja un gran aprendizaje en mi camino como ilustrador. ¡Espero les guste, esta hecho con mucho cariño para todos ustedes!
Creative Process | Proceso Creativo💡
I started making my first sketch to place the elements and pose that the character would have, to be honest this point gave me a lot of headaches because I didn't like how it was turning out, but I decided to trust the process and through the layers I managed to give shape to my sketch which looked like anything but a dragon. 😃
Comencé realizando mi primer esquema para ubicar los elementos y pose que tendría el personaje, siendo sincero este punto me dio muchos dolores de cabeza ya que no me gustaba como estaba quedando, pero decidí confiar en el proceso y por medio de las capas logre ir dándole forma a mi boceto el cual me parecía de todo menos un dragón. 😃
After finishing my sketch stage and being sure of the result, I went on to make the lineart. I tried to make it as thin as possible and keeping the same thickness in all the lines without variation in the stroke. Then I set up my colour palette and started to apply the base colours all over the character.
Después de terminar mi etapa de boceto y estar seguro del resultado pase a realizar el lineart. Este trate de hacerlo lo mas delgado posible y manteniendo el mismo grosor en todas las líneas sin variación en el trazo. Luego arme mi paleta de color y comencé a aplicar los colores base por todo el personaje.
At this point was where I took more time, usually I usually apply shadows with a hard tip brush, being this the way that makes me more comfortable, but in this case I opted to change that for a soft tip brush. Really here it gave me a lot of stress because I didn't like the finish, I thought many times to erase the layer and start from scratch but due to lack of time I decided to continue with what I already had, adding even more intensity in the shadows and finally in the highlights.
En este punto fue en donde me demore mas tiempo, por lo general suelo aplicar sombras con un pincel de punta dura, siendo esta la forma que se me hace mas cómoda, pero en este caso opte por cambiar eso por un pincel de punta suave. Realmente aquí me dio mucho estrés porque no me gustaba el acabado, pensé muchas veces en borrar la capa y empezar de cero pero por falta de tiempo decidí seguir con lo que ya tenia, agregando aun mas intensidad en las sombras y por último en las luces.
Final result of the Illustration | Resultado final de la ilustración
With the character finished I started to give the final details, first I made some thunder and placed it in front and behind my character. I also worked on a simple background for this one, adding a parallel shadow for some more realism and finally I used a copy of the same character to create a nice effect just behind this one. Thanks so much for watching till the end and see you next time!
Con el personaje terminado comencé a dar los detalles finales, primero realice unos truenos y los ubique por delante y detrás de mi personaje. También trabaje en un fondo sencillo para este, agregando una sombra paralela para algo mas de realismo y por último utilice una copia del mismo personaje para crear un bonito efecto justo detrás de este. Muchísimas gracias por ver hasta el final y hasta la próxima!
