This is my entry for the weekly Splinterlands Art Contest found HERE

Here is the original card:

Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Surface Pro 4. Here is the time lapse video:

And here is the drawing broken down into individual process steps:

One: Rough Draft. I imported a 3D model using Clip Studio to position a hand where I wanted it.

Two: Line art. Using a thin gray pen.

Four: Flat hair layer.

Five: Start shading on a separate "multiply" layer, with a soft airbrush tool in dark gray.

Six: Duplicate the shading layer. This darkens the shadows, which I never make dark enough. I also airbrush a little bit of red on the edge of the shadows.

Seven: Two things changed here. Added a detail layer so I can render the eyes. Also, created a duplicate of the ink layer but blurred it with the gaussian blur. This is the make the line work less distinct. Flip back and forth and see if you can tell the difference.

Eight. Make a magic layer. Also a glow layer to make highlights on the skin where there are magic balls or sparks.

Nine: Brush in a dark background with some smoky effect.
