Hey there, fellow art enthusiasts! I just dived into the fantastic world of Splinterlands art once again, and let me tell you, it's been a wild ride, as always.
Starting with the new "The Dauntless" poster as my canvas, I embarked on a creative journey that was part magic, part struggle, part frustration, part enthusiasm. I tinkered with those advanced prompts in Midjourney 5.2, and trust me, it wasn't all smooth sailing. In fact quite the opposite.
Prompt:
an award winning master shot photograph of a group of fighters that run in to an epic battle with a lots of blue glow in an epic fantasy scene, in front a blonde woman pointing into the battle with her blue glowing sword, next to her is a dark woman with a purple glowing spear, behind the two woman are three more fighters, one of them has a bow, volumetric lights, cinematic shot, ultra high quality --s 750
This has been the basic structure with what I tinkered around. It needed a few tries to produce the first pretty ones. But hey, I didn’t throw in the towel. I persisted. And when I finally got those results, I didn’t settle there.
I took them and ran with it, refining, tweaking, and scaling until it matched my favor. Thank you, Photoshop, for being my trusty sidekick in this artistic adventure.
Fine-tuning many details, especially around eyes, accessory and body parts. Many pixel-tweaking later pretty outcomes - not even close to perfection - but pretty sexy, seemed within reach. And then came the magic touch – color grading, vividness, contrast. Those final touches turned my good piece into an absolute premasterpieces ^^.
Now, take a moment with me to soak it all in. That artwork isn’t just a picture; it's a symbol of dedication, vision, and skill. It's the result of taking an idea and shaping it into something that speaks volumes without saying a word.
Source material as a start impulse:
What's on the horizon? Maybe it's time to share this creation, to inspire others to take their own artistic leaps. Or perhaps it's time to dive back in, exploring new techniques, new ways to stretch the boundaries even further. So much to explore and learn. "The Dauntless" stands tall, a symbol of creativity and perseverance. I'll keep pushing those limits, keep creating. Lets see where this goes from here.
Fabulous times we live in.
Let me know in the comments whats your opinion on these, critics, remarks, maybe titles for these graphics, what do you wanna see next etc.
